Senior Firmware Engineer

About the Role

The Senior Firmware Engineer will develop next‑generation embedded control solutions for power electronics, energy‑management systems, and intelligent industrial products. The role covers the entire firmware lifecycle—from architecture and design through implementation, validation, and deployment—in a cross‑disciplinary team environment. The ideal candidate combines strong embedded‑software expertise with hands‑on power‑electronics experience and a commitment to high‑quality, reliable firmware. • Design, develop, implement, and test embedded firmware for advanced power conversion and energy‑management products. • Create low‑level device drivers for 32‑bit microcontrollers and DSP platforms (SPI, UART, CAN, I2C, etc.). • Build, customize, and maintain embedded Linux systems, supporting Yocto‑based distributions. • 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 engineers to interpret schematics, debug hardware/firmware interactions, and perform system bring‑up. • Conduct firmware design reviews, code inspections, and apply static‑analysis tools to ensure code quality. • Integrate industrial communication protocols (MODBUS, CAN, USB, TCP/IP) and embedded web‑server capabilities. • Support simulation and validation of control algorithms (PI, PD, PWM) for power topologies like buck, boost, and inverter. • Document firmware designs, system behavior, and test procedures clearly and precisely.
