## Description

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you'll design and develop robust embedded solutions for modern energy and power electronics applications-ensuring our systems deliver precision, reliability, and scalability to support next-generation infrastructure.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

 * Design and implement firmware for embedded systems used in power monitoring, switching control, and energy computation.
 * Develop and optimize signal processing algorithms for real-time performance.
 * Work with microcontrollers and processors including TI DSPs (C2000, TMS320F28x), ARM Cortex-M/R/A MCUs, and FPGA platforms.
 * Interface with high-resolution ADCs and analog front ends to acquire voltage and current signals.
 * Implement industrial communication protocols such as RS-485, Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN, Ethernet (UDP/TCP/IP), MQTT, SNMP, and custom lightweight protocols.
 * Ensure synchronization and time-alignment across multiple acquisition and control nodes.
 * Collaborate with hardware engineers for end-to-end integration and testing.
 * Analyze system behavior and optimize firmware performance using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers.
 * Document system interfaces, data structures, and integration points clearly and professionally.
