Lead Firmware Engineer

Job Summary

Leading the development of real-time control firmware for power conversion systems, the full-time salaried Lead Firmware Engineer will implement control loops and compensators for bidirectional DC/DC converters while collaborating closely with the Lead Controls Engineer in a remote work environment.

Key responsibilities

• Implement real-time control loops and compensators in C, ensuring adherence to fixed cycle budgets and control specifications
• Verify firmware implementations against control models through closed-loop simulations and performance measurements
• Architect and maintain the control ISR and scheduler, ensuring deterministic timing and documented worst-case execution times

Required qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent demonstrated capability
• Six or more years of experience developing production embedded firmware in C for resource-constrained real-time systems
• Experience with production control firmware on switched-mode power converters or inverters
• Strong understanding of control fundamentals, including PID and discretization basics
• Proficiency with digital power peripherals such as high-resolution PWM and ADCs
