## About the Role

* Embedded C development on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers.
 * USB-C / USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) experience.
 * Hardware bring-up and debugging of new PCBs.
 * I2C, SPI, and UART communication protocol expertise.
 * Oscilloscope, logic analyzer, SWD/JTAG, and embedded hardware debugging experience.

Preferred Skills:

 * Infineon/Cypress MCU development (Modu Toolbox, EZ-PD, PMG1, CCGx).
 * Bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms (DFU).
 * Power electronics or power-path control firmware (VBUS, OVP, UVP, OCP).
 * USB subsystem experience (USB hubs, DisplayPort Alt Mode, retimers, billboard devices).
 * CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware builds.
 * USB-IF compliance and certification testing., Strong embedded C on 32-bit MCUs (ARM Cortex-M or similar): interrupts, register-level peripheral work, development under flash/RAM constraints
 * Working understanding of USB-C/USB-PD (source/sink/DRP roles, power contract negotiation)
 * 2C/SPI/UART peripheral/companion-IC communication, configuration, and debug
 * Hands-on hardware bring-up experience: taking a board from power-on to running firmware, or debugging firmware against real hardware
 * Datasheet and schematic literacy: able to configure a part from its register tables and confirm pin/power connections
 * Comfortable with standard bench debug tools: oscilloscope, logic/protocol analyzer, SWD/JTAG debugger, UART logging
 * Git proficiency

## Description

Akkodis is seeking a Software Engineer for a Contract job with a client in Bellevue, WA . Ideally looking for applicants with a solid background in the Embedded C development on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers., Bring up new PCBs: validate power/clocks, connect a debugger, enable peripherals, and get firmware running on new hardware

 * Develop and debug embedded C firmware on ARM Cortex-M-class MCUs
 * Configure and drive companion ICs over I2C or other peripheral buses
 * Implement and debug USB-C / USB-PD behavior (power negotiation, source/sink roles, fault handling, etc.)
 * Debug at the bench with oscilloscope, protocol/logic analyzer, multimeter, and SWD/JTAG
 * Work from datasheets, register tables, and schematics
 * Document configurations and design decisions
 * Collaborate with hardware engineers to isolate hardware vs. firmware issues
