Job description

We re seeking a Senior Platform/Real-Time Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong low-level embedded software expertise and a passion for building robust, deterministic firmware for safety-critical control systems. This role focuses on the real-time firmware foundation that enables actuators, motor drives, BMS, sensors, and vehicle-level systems to operate reliably. You will architect, implement, and maintain firmware across real-time microcontroller platforms, owning BSPs, drivers, RTOS/bare-metal execution, timing, peripheral interfaces, diagnostics hooks, and hardware bring-up. This role works closely with embedded systems, motor control, BMS, and vehicle control software engineers to ensure the platform layer is reliable, reusable, and deterministic.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience developing embedded firmware for complex real-time systems
  • Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware architecture
  • Experience with real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable
  • safety-oriented MCUs
  • Strong understanding of MCU peripherals, interrupts, timers, watchdogs, memory, clocks,
  • ADC, PWM, GPIO, and communication interfaces
  • Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI,
  • Ethernet, or ARINC 825
  • Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system
  • boundaries
  • Experience supporting hardware bring-up, lab validation, and HIL testing
  • Strong analytical skills and low-level debugging ability

Preferred / Bonus Experience:

  • Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers
  • Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems: aerospace, automotive, industrial
  • Exposure to certification-oriented development processes: DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO
  • 26262 concepts
  • Experience developing reusable BSPs, drivers, middleware, and embedded software
  • frameworks
  • Background supporting motor drives, BMS, power electronics, sensors, or vehicle control
  • systems
  • Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and long-term platform maintainability
