What are the responsibilities and job description for the Embedded Systems Engineer (US) position at Siemens Energy?
A Snapshot of Your Day
We are seeking an Embedded Systems Engineer. As a Product Engineer for embedded systems, you will help shape the electronic heart of our next-generation control panel for step-voltage regulators (C57.15). Your day will swing between brainstorming circuit and firmware improvements, reviewing C/C code on a Linux-based platform, checking schematic layouts in a PLM environment, and validating prototype performance with both in-house and vendor teams. You’ll see ideas move quickly from whiteboard to bench, ensuring the final product is robust, manufacturable, and ready for the field.
How You’ll Make An Impact
Grid Technologies
Our Grid Technology division enables a reliable, sustainable, and digital grid! The power grid is the backbone of the energy transition. Siemens Energy offers a leading portfolio and solutions in HVDC transmission, grid stabilization and storage, high voltage switchgears and transformers, and digital grid technology.
Who is Siemens Energy?
At Siemens Energy, we are more than just an energy technology company! With ~100,000 dedicated employees in more than 90 countries, we develop the energy systems of the future, ensuring that the growing energy demand of the global community is met reliably and sustainably. The technologies created in our research departments and factories drive the energy transition and provide the base for one sixth of the world's electricity generation.
Our global team is committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

How You’ll Make An Impact
- Design, prototype, and debug embedded hardware/firmware systems interfacing with power-system sensors, actuators, and communication networks
- Develop embedded software in C/C for microcontrollers and processors (Linux/RTOS on ARM, Bare Metal on TI-MSP430) for signal processing and system control
- Create and execute board-, system-, and environmental-level test plans to ensure compliance with functional, safety, and EMC standards
- Analyze lab data, prepare technical reports, contribute to design reviews, and ensure traceability to C57.15 and internal performance metrics
- Collaborate with external design partners and internal teams to review schematics, layouts, and code; manage issues and drive corrective actions
- Serve as the primary engineering contact for customer interactions and technical teams
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. Master's degree preferred.
- 2 or more years of engineering experience required, preferably on electronic product development. Candidates with more experience can be considered for a higher level or vice-versa.
- Foundational knowledge of microcontroller and microprocessor architectures, peripheral buses, memory maps and communication networks; Understanding of analog/digital interfacing concepts: ADCs, DACs, signal conditioning, and basic power-supply topologies; Familiarity with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, in-circuit debuggers, and automated test equipment
- Hands-on experience with C/C development in a real-time or Linux environment, including use of version-control and build systems; Experience and knowledge of step-voltage regulators is preferred
- Strong knowledge of product-lifecycle management (requirements capture, change control, BOM management) and project-management skills
- Strong analytical thinking, clear technical writing, and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional, multi-site teams. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
