Job description

  • Design and develop real-time embedded firmware for STM32-based systems controlling high-power electronics
  • Implement reliable, deterministic code for time-critical applications (control, communications, safety, monitoring)
  • Work closely with power electronics and systems engineers to bring up new hardware from early prototypes through production
  • Debug complex issues across firmware, hardware, and system boundaries using scopes, logic analysers, and other lab tools
  • Contribute to firmware architecture, coding standards, and test strategies as the system evolves

Requirements

Do you have experience in Mechanical knowledge?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * Bachelor's or higher degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering or a related discipline

  • Strong experience developing real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ on microcontrollers (STM32 or similar)
  • Solid understanding of real-time constraints, interrupts, timers, DMA, and low-level peripherals
  • Experience with bare-metal and/or RTOS-based systems (e.g. FreeRTOS or similar)
  • Comfortable working with incomplete specs, evolving requirements, and tight timelines in an early-stage environment
  • Experience with embedded communications (CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet), bootloaders, or field updates
  • Typically 3+ years in embedded firmware roles, but we care more about what you've built than years on a CV
