Job Description

Overview: The Firmware Engineer will be responsible for research, design, and development of firmware for DSP/MCU-based control of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and emergency backup power systems and associated peripherals. This involves everything from power electronics control loops, thermal/voltage monitoring and management, battery management, real-time clock, automation features, digital communication protocols, and integration with building management systems (MODBUS, BACnet, cloud connectivity). The Firmware Engineer must be independent and self-driven, a good manager of their own time and priorities, and a team player. Essential Job Functions include but are not limited to the following: End-to-end development and testing of C/C++ firmware for TI DSP or MCU-based control of power electronic circuits in UPS/Inverter products. Support for existing (legacy) products in Assembly language as well as C. Working frequently in a lab environment to conduct board-level and system-level testing. Developing test plans and/or automated test scripts. Documenting work, test results, technical guides, and software design documents. Designing for manufacturability. Helping to develop end-of-line testing schemes for manufactured products. Troubleshooting firmware/software-related manufacturing issues. Dealing with field issues on customer sites. Working within a multi-disciplinary team of engineers (electrical, mechanical, magnetics, firmware) and technicians. Writing technical manuals for new products or features. Self-organizing their time and focus, while aligning their priorities with those of management. Providing status updates to management on a regular basis. Required: ~ A bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, with coursework in electrical and electronic circuits, microcontrollers and firmware applications, Assembly language, C or C++, digital communications, physics, mathematics, and statistics. ~2-3 years of experience working in the electronics industry. ~ Strong experience programming in C. ~ Experience working with microcontrollers (MCUs) in ‘bare metal’ applications. ~ Must be flexible, proactive, and innovative. ~ Must possess strong written and verbal communication skills. ~ Must enjoy working with new technology in a fast-paced environment. Preferred: Experience with: Texas Instruments (TI) C2000 chips. Microchip PIC MCUs. Atmel Atmega MCUs. Experience with Assembly language. Experience with Git source control. Python skills (for test scripts). Ability to program DSP in C language. Experience with digital communication protocols including: RS485. RS232. BACnet. MODBUS. SPI / I2C. IP networking (Ethernet, TCP/IP, Telnet/SSH, SNMP). Cloud connectivity (IoT, MQTT). Work experience in the field of Power Electronics and UPS topologies.
