COMPANY OVERVIEW
Invertra Systems is a fast-growing product R&D startup and the technology arm of NL Scientific, Malaysia's leading manufacturer of construction material testing equipment since 1998, exporting to over 70 countries worldwide.
At Invertra, we focus on developing IoT-enabled systems, custom controllers, and advanced automation solutions that modernize legacy machines and power the next generation of high-tech industrial equipment. Our expertise spans embedded hardware, firmware, and smart data platforms, enabling more intelligent, connected, and efficient systems across industries.
JOB SCOPE
As our Embedded Systems Engineer, you'll help modernize our current generation of machines redesigning custom controller hardware & firmware from the ground up, adding wireless IoT communication, local intelligence, and system interoperability to our existing machines. You'll also help develop interfacing solutions with our ongoing IoT app development processes.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Designing, prototyping, and producing custom controller hardware for existing testing machinery, with a strong focus on PCB development.
- Creating CAD designs for controller enclosures, brackets, and related mechanical interfaces.
- Debugging and validating the expected behaviour of custom PCBs and embedded electronics to ensure reliable system performance.
- Reverse-engineering legacy controller hardware to ensure full compatibility between new and existing systems.
- Collaborating closely with the embedded systems team to ensure seamless hardware-firmware integration.
CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS
We value curiosity, resourcefulness, and a willingness to learn. You don't need to be an expert you just need the drive to build real-world embedded solutions that make an impact.
Strongly Preferred
- Proficiency with PCB CAD tools (e.g., KiCad, EasyEDA, Altium) for schematic and layout design.
- Foundational understanding of analogue and digital circuit design principles.
- Strong interest in hands-on hardware debugging using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and multimeters.
- Basic proficiency in C/C++ for microcontroller-level development tasks.
- Basic familiarity with Python for test automation or simple Design-For-Test scripting.
- Openness to working across both electronics and firmware domains, with a willingness to learn and grow with the role.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with wireless (RF) signal processing (a major plus point!).
- Basic understanding of industrial control systems or instrumentation.
- Familiarity with Raspberry Pior similar SBCs for prototyping.
- Prior experience with DMA & understanding of associated hardware (plus point)
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Possesses a Degree in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Software Engineering, or other similar related disciplines.
- Fresh graduate or junior engineer with strong fundamentals or personal projects.
- Self-learner who's motivated by building hardware/software that interacts with the real world.
- Not afraid of the occasional messy wire or cryptic serial output.
- Passionate about practical industrial IoT, control systems, or embedded development.
Fresh grads are encouraged to apply mentorship and support will be provided.
