Job Description

Why Join Us

At Rockwell Automation, you won't just be designing another incremental hardware update, you'll help shape the next generation of industrial motion control platforms.

As an Embedded Hardware Engineer, you will work on complex, high‑performance electronics that sit at the core of motion systems used across global industrial applications.

You will have the opportunity to:

Build hardware and product , taking designs from idea to production

Work in a deeply technical and versatile environment

Design embedded hardware or converters, inverters and ICT technology for industrial environment.

Grow both technically and professionally, with increasing scope, responsibility, and influence over product direction and architecture.

Our global engineering culture values collaboration, technical thoughtfulness, and new ideas. The environment is fast‑paced and dynamic contributing to multiple products.

You will work on a team comprised of engineers across multiple disciplines (e.g., mechanical, power electronics, embedded software) to bring our product roadmaps to life.

Expand Beyond Traditional Servo Drives

While you will work on advanced servo drive hardware, its scope goes well beyond conventional motion control. You will also contribute to the evolution of Independent Cart Technology (ICT), a growing motion technology that introduces new architectural challenges and opportunities, including:

Distributed control, network and power architectures

High‑performance communication and synchronization

Scalability, modularity, and system‑level robustness

The Essentials - You Will Have:

Bachelor's Degree in Relevant Field.

The Preferred - You Might Also Have:

Typically requires a minimum of 5 years experience.

Advanced understanding of fundamental electrical engineering principles, including circuit analysis, control theory, and electromagnetics, applied to complex, real‑world industrial systems.

Expertise in designing and supporting power supplies and embedded control hardware in production‑grade products, including processors, memory, peripherals, and industrial interfaces.

Expertise in analog and mixed‑signal circuit design, including signal conditioning, filter design, voltage and current sensing, gate‑drive circuits, and protection circuitry.

Experience laboratory and hardware bring‑up skills, including use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analysis equipment, systematic hardware debug techniques and ability to write low-level drivers.

Practical experience with EMI/EMC mitigation techniques, PCB layout best practices, high‑speed digital design considerations, thermal management, and noise‑robust hardware architectures.

Practical experience communicating complex hardware and system-level concepts to stakeholders

Proficiency with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, Simplorer, HyperLynx, Maxwell, or similar) for system‑level analysis, signal integrity evaluation, and hardware trade studies.

Working knowledge of embedded and programmable hardware platforms, including microprocessors, digital logic devices, CPLDs, FPGAs, and Ethernet‑based industrial communication (IEEE 802.3).

Experience with test automation (for example Python), and data analysis tools.

Exposure to AI‑enabled hardware, AI‑assisted design tools, or data‑driven engineering workflows.

Knowledge of security‑enabled hardware architectures and secure‑by‑design principles, including hardware root of trust, secure boot, device identity, and secure update mechanisms, with awareness of industrial cybersecurity and safety standards such as EN/IEC 50742 and their application across the product development lifecycle.

Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering
