Embedded/Hardware System Architect (Coquitlam)

Job Title: Embedded/Hardware System Architect Job ID : 87403 Location: Canada -Remote (Pacific Time) Overview: This role sits within a highly advanced engineering team focused on designing distributed hardware and software systems that operate at runtime with extreme precision. Similar to a classical operating system, this role will define how hardware and software interactowning the architecture that manages system coordination, resource scheduling, and real-time operations across a complex, distributed setting. What you will be doing: Architectural Leadership Lead the end-to-end design of a high-performance system that manages distributed runtime control and system orchestration. Hardware & Runtime System Design Define specifications for embedded hardware and firmware systems, ensuring deterministic, real-time behavior at sub-microsecond precision. Real-Time & Distributed Systems Design and optimize large-scale distributed systems with tight time synchronization requirements. Interface & API Development Build scalable interfaces between embedded systems, hardware components (e.g., FPGA), and higher-level software layers. Performance Optimization Identify and drive system-level improvements across the compute stack to enhance long-term scalability and efficiency. What you must have: Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field 10+ years of experience in embedded systems, firmware, or hardware architecture Strong background inreal-time systems,deterministic timing, anddistributed system design Experience withsub-microsecond time synchronization Exposure to industries such as: High-performance computing Aerospace Semiconductor/chip design AI hardware (custom training chips) Particle physics or similar environments Proficiency with: FPGA design and simulation tools Systems programming (C, C++, Rust) Higher-level languages (Python) Ability to operate at aPrincipal or Distinguished Engineer level, with strong communication and architectural depth Salary/Rate Range: $200,000 -$300,000 baseCAD Thank you for your interest in this opportunity.
