• Develop low‑level drivers for 32‑bit microcontrollers and DSP platforms (SPI, UART, CAN, I2C, etc.)
• Build and maintain Embedded Linux systems, including Yocto‑based distributions
• Implement real‑time control algorithms in RTOS environments (Linux, ThreadX, UC/OS‑II)
• Develop and optimize firmware for AC/DC, DC/DC, and DC/AC power control topologies
• Partner closely with hardware engineering on system bring‑up and debugging
• Integrate industrial protocols: MODBUS, CAN, USB, TCP/IP, embedded web servers
• Support simulation and validation of control strategies (PI, PD, PWM)
• Document firmware designs, behaviors, and test procedures
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver safe, reliable, high‑performing products

What should you bring?

• Bachelor’s degree in EE, CE, or CS
• 4–8+ years of embedded firmware development experience
• Fluency in C/C++ and Python
• Strong experience with 32‑bit MCUs/DSPs and low‑level driver development
• Expertise with Embedded Linux; Yocto preferred
• Excellent understanding of data structures and software engineering best practices
• Hands-on debugging experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
• Experience with Git or Subversion
• Strong communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree (MSEE/MSCE/MSCS)
• RTOS experience (Linux RT, UC/OS‑II, ThreadX)
• Firmware experience in power electronics (inverters, converters, etc.)
• MATLAB/Simulink familiarity
• Control loop simulation experience (buck, boost, inverter systems)
• Exposure to Deep Learning / Embedded AI
• Industrial fieldbus protocols and embedded networking
• Experience with software static analysis tools (Klocwork, Coverity, LDRA, etc.)
• Power lab experience and understanding of battery chemistries

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge power electronics and embedded system technologies.
• Collaborative engineering culture with opportunities for technical leadership.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Career development and continuous learning opportunities.
