Embedded Firmware Engineer

We’re seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer to help develop a next-generation software platform for motor controllers and generator control systems. This is a hands-on role where you’ll own firmware modules from design through hardware bring-up and verification while working closely with electrical and systems engineers.

What You’ll Do

• Develop embedded firmware for motor controllers and generator control electronics.
• Design and implement bare-metal C software on 32-bit microcontrollers.
• Create low-level drivers, hardware interfaces, and platform services.
• Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and system verification.
• Contribute to software architecture, interfaces, and coding standards.
• Write requirements, specifications, and test procedures.
• Support lab, environmental, EMI/EMC, and field testing.
