Job description
- In this role, I will lead the design, development, and testing of embedded software and firmware for our electronic products. I will provide technical leadership and professional guidance for design and validation processes while driving innovation and contributing to the creation of new intellectual property. I will create and approve software specifications, technical documentation, and test reports, as well as mentor other engineers to contribute to technical leadership within the team. Additionally, I will support commercial bids by delivering technical, timing, and cost input for development and testing, assist in shaping new internal processes and business initiatives, and translate project requirements into defined software tasks aligned with project plans. Managing software and firmware changes across product lines, conducting fault analysis and debugging of embedded systems, collaborating with production teams on process improvement and issue resolution, and contributing to the development and execution of electrical testing procedures are also key responsibilities. Lastly, I will identify and manage technical risks and issues while working independently on complex projects with minimal supervision.
