Junior Firmware Engineer
A junior firmware engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing firmware for embedded systems. Their primary duties include writing code, debugging, and optimizing firmware for various power converter hardware platforms. They work closely with hardware engineers and software developers to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the firmware within the system. Additionally, junior firmware engineers are expected to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and technologies, and contribute to the overall improvement of the team's processes and methodologies.
CORE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop and optimize embedded software that implements control, protection, and fault diagnosis of the power converters.
- Develop firmware code to validate highly integrated system including micro controller/processor, DSP, transceiver, and misc. interface circuits.
- Develop test code/scripts to stress the product intensively, analyze result, exposure issues and fix bugs.
- Implement low level drivers on bare metal or RTOS.
- Work with hardware engineer to conduct HW characterization tests using laboratory instruments.
- Provide design and project support in the areas of regulatory and reliability.
- Implement customer or application specific control functions and communication protocols.
- Create and maintain software design documentation.
EDUCATION
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a similar field or equivalent years of experience.
PREFFERED QUALIFICATIONS
- A minimum of 2+ years of firmware engineering experience.
- Familiar with motor control and power converters such as space vector PWM and field-oriented control.
- High competency in embedded C programming.
- Experience in using communication protocols including UART, I2C, SPI and USB.
- Experience working with real time operating systems.
- Experience working with industrial protocols, especially Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), Modbus, and BACnet.
- Experience in coding with TI C2000 MCU and ARM processors (>1 year).
- Experience with software version control and bug tracking tools such as GIT system.
