This role focuses on the real-time firmware foundation that enables actuators, motor drives, BMS, sensors, and vehicle-level systems to operate reliably. You will architect, implement, and maintain firmware across real-time microcontroller platforms, owning BSPs, drivers, RTOS/bare-metal execution, timing, peripheral interfaces, diagnostics hooks, and hardware bring-up. This role works closely with embedded systems, motor control, BMS, and vehicle control software engineers to ensure the platform layer is reliable, reusable, and deterministic., * Design and maintain real-time firmware architecture for safety-critical embedded control platforms. * Own timing-sensitive firmware layers, interrupt structure, task scheduling, execution order, and deterministic data flow between hardware, drivers, middleware, and application software. * Develop firmware frameworks that support reusable control execution, communication, diagnostics, monitoring, and system integration across multiple projects., * Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ on real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs. * Own board support packages, peripheral initialization, device configuration, and low-level hardware abstraction layers. * Develop and debug drivers for peripherals and interfaces such as CAN, SPI, Ethernet, ADC, PWM, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, and other MCU peripherals. Hardware Interfaces & Bring-Up * Support hardware bring-up, board validation, and low-level debugging across software and hardware boundaries. * Diagnose issues involving MCU configuration, clocks, interrupts, peripherals, sensors, motor drive interfaces, BMS interfaces, and communication links. * Work closely with electrical, controls, and systems teams to ensure the embedded firmware correctly supports actuator control, power electronics, sensors, and vehicle-level hardware. Communication & Diagnostics Infrastructure * Implement robust embedded communication infrastructure for protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI, Ethernet, ARINC 825, and other aerospace or automotive buses. * Support reliable data exchange, message timing, arbitration, diagnostics, fault detection, and recovery behavior at the firmware/platform level. Integration, Test & Tooling * Support integration with motor control, BMS, sensors, and vehicle control software. * Develop test hooks, debug interfaces, logging mechanisms, automation support, and data collection tools for lab validation, HIL testing, and system debugging. * Support SIL/HIL environments where firmware interfaces, drivers, and platform behavior need to be validated. Safety, Process & Lifecycle Support * Support safety-critical embedded software development by following disciplined software development processes. * Contribute to requirements, traceability, verification planning, configuration control, and certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO 26262 concepts, or equivalent safety frameworks.
