Job description

  • Implement firmware for embedded systems components within our Superchargers
  • Develop, enhance and debug new and existing real-time firmware in C and C++
  • Responsible for hands-on bring-up of products accelerating them through manufacturing to scale
  • Develop CI tests (unit test, SIL, HIL, etc.) to validate component and system functionality
  • Deliver optimized solutions co-designed between firmware and hardware teams meeting aggressive schedules that Supercharge our fleet

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of professional firmware development experience
  • Capable of delivering top quality C and C++ code in a real time embedded environment with significant multithreaded and RTOS experience
  • Experience with peripheral interfacing (CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, PWM) and networking protocols (TCP, IP, UDP). Desired experience with Protobuf and UDS
  • Must be comfortable with hands-on lab work (including the use of scopes/logic analyzers, CAN tools, soldering irons, etc. as needed to support integration)
  • Strong software fundamentals including architecture design, algorithm development, data structures, code modularity, and maintainability
  • Desired to have experience implementing firmware for power conversion, thermal controls, battery management, or other highly physical product implementations
  • Needs to have a test-driven mentality, where unit testing, validation plans, and quality are second nature
  • Passion for solving challenging problems and ability to break down problems to efficiently get things done
