 * 3+ years of hands-on bare-metal C development.
 * Significant experience with bare-metal MCU firmware development.
 * Experience with power supply, power-management, or power-conversion firmware.
 * Experience with PMBus and/or SMBus.
 * Experience developing firmware for mission-critical or safety-critical systems.
 * Experience with MISRA C and static-analysis tools.
 * Experience developing automated unit-test frameworks for embedded firmware.
 * Experience debugging firmware on actual target hardware.
 * Experience with aerospace, defense, avionics, or space electronics is highly desirable.
 * Strong proficiency in C programming for embedded systems.
 * Experience with laboratory power supplies, electronic loads, power analyzers, and other power-electronics characterization equipment is a strong plus.

## Description

* Develop and maintain PMBus/I²C-based command, control, configuration, and telemetry functionality.
 * Work with GPIO, ADCs, timers, interrupts, communication peripherals, watchdogs, non-volatile memory and other MCU peripherals as applicable to the hardware.
 * Analyze firmware interaction with the power-conversion hardware and associated sensors/control interfaces.
 * Support bring-up, debugging, characterization, and verification of firmware on physical PSC hardware.
 * Develop automated unit tests, test harnesses, mocks and stubs for firmware modules.
 * Follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices for new functionality and firmware modifications.
 * Perform regression testing following firmware changes and defect fixes.
 * Perform static analysis and resolve or disposition findings.
 * Ensure firmware conforms to JPL C coding standards and MISRA C:2023 requirements, as applicable.
 * Support hardware-in-the-loop and system-level testing.
 * Analyze fault conditions and support fault-injection testing where applicable.
 * Participate in requirements analysis, firmware architecture, design reviews, defect triage, and technical discussions with the customer engineering team.
 * Contribute to firmware documentation including design descriptions, requirements, interface documentation, test procedures, and verification evidence.
 * Maintain source code, unit tests, build artifacts, and configuration under Git-based version control.
 * Support regular firmware builds and milestone releases.
 * Work closely with hardware, systems, test, and mission-assurance engineers
