Embedded Software Engineer

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will collaborate closely with cross-functional New Product Development teams to design, develop, and implement embedded software solutions for industrial radio products, with a specific focus on drive systems. This role combines hands-on embedded development with architectural design, technical leadership, and collaboration across engineering disciplines to deliver robust, safety-critical solutions., * Analyze, design, and implement embedded software solutions that meet defined product and design requirements for industrial radio and drive-related applications.

• Develop embedded software architectures that align with product specifications, system constraints, and performance goals.
• Advise development engineering teams on best practices for embedded software design, testing, integration, and maintenance.
• Design and develop embedded software using C, C++, and Assembly languages for microprocessor-based systems.
• Work with low-level communication protocols, such as USB, RS232, SPI, I2C, and CAN, to ensure reliable data exchange within embedded systems.
• Coordinate unit testing, integration testing, and system testing activities with project teams to verify functionality, performance, and reliability.
• Design, implement, and maintain code within a controlled workflow using tools such as JIRA, version control systems, and structured code review processes.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers by interpreting and using electronic schematics to support software-hardware integration and troubleshooting.
• Utilize test and debug tools, including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers, to diagnose and resolve software and system-level issues.
• Apply test-driven development practices to ensure safety-critical and high-reliability software meets quality and safety requirements.
• Provide technical input and support for RF communications solutions, including technologies such as BLE or Wi-Fi, as they relate to embedded systems in drive applications.
• Contribute to the development and support of drive systems, VFDs, and related embedded control solutions within the drives team.
• Independently identify, analyze, and resolve complex technical problems, escalating and collaborating as needed to achieve project goals.
• Work effectively within a team environment, fostering cooperation and collaboration to achieve positive outcomes and successful product launches.
• Manage workload and priorities to meet critical project deadlines, demonstrating strong time-management and organizational skills.
• Travel up to 20% of the time to other company locations and customer sites to support development, testing, integration, and field-related activities.
