Embedded systems and firmware development for analytical instruments
上海元析 designs embedded software and firmware for laboratory analytical instruments, with a tech stack centered on EDA tools (Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Altium Designer) and microcontroller platforms (STM32, Keil MDK). The hiring profile—11 managers across 17 employees—suggests a heavily manager-to-IC ratio typical of hardware-embedded teams scaling through hierarchical project structure rather than headcount growth. Active projects focus on firmware tooling, legacy software upgrades, and establishing technical service infrastructure, while documented pain points center on managing legacy codebases and resolving field application issues.
