• About the Role
• We are seeking an accomplished Senior Firmware Engineer to join our team developing next‑generation embedded control solutions for power electronics, energy management systems, and intelligent industrial products. In this role, you will contribute to the full firmware lifecycle—from architecture and design to implementation, validation, and deployment—while working in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment.
• The ideal candidate brings strong embedded software expertise, hands-on power electronics experience, and a passion for delivering reliable, high‑quality firmware in complex systems.
• What You Will Do
• Design, develop, implement, and test embedded firmware for advanced power conversion and energy management products.
• Develop low-level device drivers for 32‑bit microcontrollers and DSP platforms (SPI, UART, CAN, I2C, and others).
• Build, customize, and maintain embedded Linux systems; support Yocto‑based distributions for product platforms.
• Implement control algorithms and real-time features within RTOS environments such as Linux, ThreadX, or UC/OS‑II.
• Develop and optimize firmware for analog/digital power control topologies (DC/DC, AC/DC, DC/AC).
• Collaborate with hardware engineering to interpret schematics, debug hardware/firmware interactions, and perform system bring‑up.
• Conduct firmware design reviews, participate in code inspections, and apply software static analysis tools to ensure code quality.
• Integrate industrial communication protocols such as MODBUS, CAN, USB, TCP/IP, and embedded webserver capabilities.
• Support simulation and validation of control algorithms (PI, PD, PWM strategies) for common power topologies such as buck, boost, and inverter systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, systems, test engineering) to deliver high-performing, safe, and reliable products.
• Document firmware design, system behavior, and test procedures with clarity and precision.
