• Support coordination and data exchange between distributed controllers and supervisory systems.
• Implement fault handling, diagnostics, and health monitoring features to improve system robustness.
• Support integration with higher-level control, monitoring, and data acquisition systems.

Testing, Validation & Quality

• Contribute to automated test development using Python and Rust.
• Support test automation frameworks such as Robot Framework.
• Develop test utilities, simulators, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) support tools.
• Apply coding standards, unit testing, and static code analysis tools.
• Participate in requirements traceability, verification, and validation activities within the V-model process.
• Assist with debugging, root-cause analysis, and resolution of system-level issues.

Tools & Process

• Use Git for version control and collaborative development.
• Participate in Agile development activities using tools such as Jira.
• Support requirements management, traceability, implementation, and verification.
• Develop within containerized and reproducible environments such as Docker.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams throughout product development.

Testing, Validation & Quality

• Develop embedded software aligned with UL, IEC, and other applicable safety and regulatory standards.
• Apply understanding of power control systems, protection schemes, and safe operating limits.
• Support certification, sustaining engineering, regression testing, and change-validation activities.
• Assist with field issue analysis and long-term product reliability improvements.

You have:

• BS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 3+ years of firmware development experience.
• Strong proficiency in C; working knowledge of C++.
• Familiarity with both bare metal (main loop scheduled) and RTOS-based types of firmware codesets.
• Experience with TI C2000, STM32 or similar microcontroller platforms and toolsets.
• Familiarity with distributed embedded systems and industrial communication protocols (CAN, MODBUS, Ethernet, etc.).
• Experience with unit testing, automated testing, structured development processes, and other best practices in Software Engineering.
• Understanding of real-time embedded systems, interrupts, and hardware interfaces (MCU peripherals)
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and debugging skills.
• A passion for hands-on work, including testing and troubleshooting with lab tools (meters, scopes, logic or protocol analyzers) and hand soldering, or in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an emphasis on technical documentation.
• Experience interfacing with power electronics, power conversion topologies, and digital-to-analog / analog-to-digital converters is a plus.
