Firmware Engineer

Embedded Firmware Engineer

Lead the design, development, and implementation of embedded firmware for complex power control systems, including but not limited to motor control, power converters (AC/DC, DC/DC), battery management systems.

Architect and optimize firmware written in 'C' for various microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, dsPIC, C2000 DSPs) ensuring high reliability, efficiency, and real-time performance.

Develop and debug firmware for hardware-software co-design, collaborating closely with hardware engineers to define specifications, troubleshoot issues, and ensure seamless integration.

Implement advanced control algorithms (e.g., PID, predictive control, adaptive control) for power regulation and optimization.

Design and develop robust communication protocols (e.g., CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, PMBUS) for embedded systems and external interfaces.

Conduct thorough testing, debugging, and validation of firmware, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing to ensure product quality and performance.

Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and release notes.

Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and mentor junior engineers.

Stay aware of the latest advancements in embedded systems, power electronics, and control theory, integrating new technologies where appropriate.

Contribute to the full product development life cycle, from concept to production.

Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in existing products and systems.

Perform schematic entry, calculations, simulations, and bread-boarding in the design process.

Interface with the customer to communicate technical information.

Interface with vendors for design support, technology roadmap, chipset/architecture selection, and component sampling and quotation.

Ensure design is documented to ISO9001 procedures and participate in external/internal ISO audits.
