Electronics Firmware Engineer information

What is the difference between Electronics Firmware Engineer vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectElectronics Firmware EngineerEmbedded Software Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; certifications like Certified Firmware EngineerBachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related; similar certifications
Work EnvironmentDesigning firmware for hardware devices, working closely with hardware teamsDeveloping software for embedded systems, often in real-time environments
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, industrial equipment, IoT devicesAutomotive, medical devices, consumer electronics

Electronics Firmware Engineers focus on developing low-level code that interacts directly with hardware components, often working on microcontrollers and embedded systems. Embedded Software Engineers also develop code for embedded systems but may work on higher-level software layers. Both roles require similar skills and certifications, but their focus areas and typical applications differ slightly.

Job description

We are seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer to develop real-time firmware for our power electronics products as well as auxiliary (non-power) electronics. This role will work across the full embedded development lifecycle, from board bring-up and driver development through control algorithm implementation and system communications.

This position will work closely with electrical, power electronics, controls, and systems engineering teams to develop reliable embedded solutions for Electric Hydrogen's products.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Develop and debug low-level, real-time, low-latency firmware in C
  • Perform board bring-up, debugging, testing, and code optimization
  • Develop and maintain device drivers and hardware interfaces
  • Implement control algorithms for power electronics products and auxiliary electronics
  • Design and implement protocols for system communications
  • Troubleshoot firmware and hardware interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment
  • Write and maintain software specifications, design documentation, and technical documentation
  • Collaborate with electrical, power electronics, controls, and systems engineers throughout product development and testing

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • For mid-level candidates, 3+ years of professional firmware or embedded software development experience; strong academic, project, or internship experience in embedded systems will be considered for junior-level candidates
  • Experience developing low-level embedded firmware in C
  • Experience with embedded systems development tools, including compilers, debuggers, and IDEs
  • Experience with version control and issue-tracking tools such as Git and Jira
  • Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, and Ethernet
  • Experience developing device drivers using hardware interfaces such as ADC, GPIO, PWM, UART, SPI, and I2C
  • Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and similar laboratory equipment
  • Knowledge of automated build systems is a plus
  • Knowledge of the design and implementation of power electronics control loops is a plus
  • Basic knowledge of Linux environments is a plus, particularly for development toolchains, GUIs, build systems, logging, and testing tools
