Lead Embedded Firmware Architect

We are seeking an experienced Lead Embedded Firmware Architect with a strong background in power electronics applications such as DC-DC converters, solar inverters (single/three-phase), Multi level converters, and Inverters. The candidate should have extensive hands-on experience in developing and optimizing embedded C code for control and communication in real-time systems using DSP controllers.

The role involves designing, implementing, and validating firmware for high-performance power conversion systems, ensuring reliability, compliance, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for power electronic products including DC-DC converters, solar inverters (single/three phase), Multi level converters, and Inverters.
• Implement advanced control algorithms including PI, PLL, Clarke and Park transformations , and other DSP-based control techniques.
• Develop and optimize code in Embedded C for real-time microcontrollers/DSPs used in power electronics applications.
• Design and develop firmware architect for bootloaders, interrupts, timers, memory mapping, communication stacks, control algorithms and protections .
• Design and implement communication protocols such as SPI, I²C, MODBUS, and CAN for reliable device interfacing.
• Work closely with hardware and system engineers to validate firmware performance on prototypes and production systems.
• Perform firmware debugging, optimization, and validation to ensure robustness and reliability.
• Prepare technical documentation, test plans, and support certification processes.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous process improvement.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electronics / Electrical / Instrumentation / Computer Engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in embedded firmware development within the power electronics domain .
• Strong expertise in Embedded C programming and real-time control systems.
• Solid understanding of power electronics topologies ( DC-DC, Buck, Boost, H-bridge, Converters and Inverters ).
• Hands-on experience with control algorithms (PLL, Clarke & Park transformation, ABC–DQ–ABC transformations) .
• Proficiency in microcontroller/DSP platforms (TI / STM32) commonly used in power conversion.
• Practical experience with communication protocols: SPI, I²C, MODBUS, CAN .
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills.
• Knowledge of complete software development cycle.
• Experience on version control tools like Git, SVN etc.

Preferred Skills (Good to Have):

• Familiarity with RTOS and multitasking firmware design.
• Exposure to secure firmware development, safety standards and compliance in power electronics (e.g., IEC/UL, MISRA).
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC considerations in firmware design.
