What you would be doing
hardware interface management
protocol integration
state machine design
control system modeling
firmware development
fpga logic design
- Configure and manage low-level hardware interfaces (PWM, ADC, DMA, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet) from register-level up..
- Integrate and support industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, SunSpec, CAN, custom Ethernet/serial).
- Architect and implement reliable state machines, fault detection, and protection logic for mission-critical control.
- Model and simulate control systems using MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM, or PLECS to support validation and iteration.
- Architect, write, and maintain high-efficiency C/C++ firmware for bare-metal and RTOS-based platforms (MCUs, DSPs, hybrid architectures).
- Contribute to FPGA co-processing logic using VHDL for high-speed control and signal processing.
- Design and implement digital control algorithms for high-performance regulation of voltage, current, and power, including support for grid-tied systems.
- Develop advanced digital control algorithms (e.g. PR, PLL, harmonic suppression, predictive models).
- Lead hands-on testing, bring-up, and debugging using lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, real-time hardware in the loop).
- Own the end-to-end firmware design and development lifecycle for advanced power electronic and energy infrastructure systems.
