## Description

We are seeking a skilled Firmware Engineer to design and develop real-time control firmware for our next-generation power inverters. In this role, you will write high-performance code specifically for Texas Instruments (TI) C2000 Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). You will collaborate closely with hardware engineers to implement advanced control loops, optimize power conversion, and ensure system reliability., * Firmware Development: Write clean, optimized C/C++ firmware for TI C2000 microcontrollers (e.g., F2837x, F28004x, F2838x).

 * Control Implementation: Code real-time digital control loops (PI/PR controllers, SVPWM, grid synchronization PLLs) for power inverter topologies.
 * Peripheral Configuration: Configure C2000-specific peripherals including high-resolution PWMs (e.g., ePWM), fast ADCs, eCAP, and eQEP.
 * Driver Architecture: Develop low-level drivers and protocols for communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART.
 * Testing & Debugging: Utilize JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power supplies to test and validate firmware on physical hardware.
 * Safety & Protection: Implement time-critical fault detection and protection routines to safeguard hardware components against over-current and over-voltage.
