- Must be a self-directed problem solver who can work in both individual and team settings to achieve robust software solutions for complex design challenges
- Must be able to organize and prioritize tasks across multiple projects to meet product timelines in the fast-paced consumer electronics market
- Experience developing both super-loop and RTOS threaded software architectures for real-time embedded software applications
- Good working knowledge of electronic hardware and system design to be able to write software meeting hardware functional requirements
- Ability to design and tune/verify PID control systems for general control applications, as well as for specific motor control schemes such as PMSM control, FOC, and BLDC trapezoidal control
- Familiarity with BSP/FSP/other peripheral code configuration & auto- tools, plus the ability to go beyond provided drivers to directly program features like ADC windowing and DMA, event controllers, timer usage, and experience with low power design.
- Hands-on experience with electrical hardware design and interfacing with lab test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads (e-loads), digital test equipment, etc.
- Working knowledge of methods for charging/discharging lithium batteries using industry standard interfaces such as USB-A, USB-C, and others, including BMS control, cell balancing techniques, charging profiles, etc.
- Familiarity with serial communications interfaces and protocols such as I2C/SMBus, SPI, & CAN Bus
- Proven ability to determine root-cause of software performance issues
- Proficient in C/C++, with an understanding of best-practice software development, source management, and verification methodologies targeting real-time systems
- Ability to work well in a cooperative and positive team environment, including mentoring junior developers
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and coordination skills as well as a talent and desire for mentoring junior engineers
What We Would Also Like
- Familiarity with real-time OS, ARM microcontrollers, Eclipse-based IDEs
- Knowledge in use and application of AI models, agents, and workflows for coding embedded and application software and automating processes
- Some knowledge of scripting methodology/ such as Python or shell scripting
- Ability to learn new technologies and product areas quickly
- Experience using Windows-based and/or Linux-based code development environments
