What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on embedded systems engineering role at a medical/aerospace/security R&D firm, spanning the full hardware-firmware lifecycle — from schematic capture and multi-layer PCB layout through firmware development, prototype assembly, and production transition. The ideal candidate is equally fluent in low-level C/C++ firmware and electronic hardware design, comfortable at the lab bench with test equipment, and capable of owning a product end-to-end.
Senior level · 5+ years · Bachelor's required

No work location or city is stated in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. ChromoLogic LLC's website (chromologic.com) may indicate a specific location, but that information was not present in the posting text itself.
This role is primarily hardware/embedded-systems engineering — PCB design, prototype assembly, and firmware development in roughly equal measure. SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the closest available code given the heavy firmware/software component, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the strong hardware design emphasis that falls outside a pure software-developer profile.
The degree requirement states 'BS or MS … or related technical field' with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so a Bachelor's is treated as a hard minimum.
Communication protocols (BLE, CAN Bus, SPI, I²C, UART, USB) appear under 'What You'll Do' (responsibilities) rather than under 'Required Qualifications', so they are marked as preferred. The Required Qualifications section references only 'familiarity with embedded communication protocols and interfaces' generically.
Specific microcontroller families (STM32, AVR, PIC) are listed together in the responsibilities section as examples of platforms; ARM Cortex is the architectural umbrella. All are captured; STM32 is used as the primary with AVR and PIC as alternatives since they appear as a grouped list.
