Our team develops firmware and controls for HV embedded systems including battery management systems, charging and motor controls. In this role, you will be collaborating with many cross-functional teams from electrical architecture, system integration, and other platform software engineers for firmware development through all stages of the program development. What you'll do..
Lead the design and implementation of the firmware running on a distributed embedded system with multiple microcontrollers with a focus on optimizing power/energy consumption and safety. Specification, design, implementation, and testing of both bare metal and RTOS low-level software for energy management and powertrain controls applications. Develop embedded software from low-level base software to application modules.
Design and specify interfaces between application software and firmware. Develop multicore, timing-critical software architectures. Work with/resolve ambiguity in requirements/specifications/designs.
Create elegant, efficient real-time software components and interfaces. Develop software component testing methodologies and implementations to ensure maturity/stability/release readiness. Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation.
Design ISO26262 compliant software. Define system-level power requirements and implement low-power modes of operation for each of the microcontrollers. Instrument and profile software to identify opportunities for optimization on the submodule and system level.
Early phases of firmware development will focus on hardware validation, labcar testing, and setting up the automation framework for a unit. SIL and HIL testing. Develop comprehensive test plans and perform thorough testing to validate firmware functionality, stability, and performance under various conditions, including low power modes.
You'll have... Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, experience with evidence of exceptional ability, or equivalent. 8+ years of relevant experience in embedded design High proficiency in programming experience using Embedded C Highly collaborative mindset and strong communication skills Experience with JIRA/Confluence or a similar system for tracking inputs/results
Knowledge ofelectrical engineering fundamentals including circuit analysis and design. Hands-on hardware bring-up, system debugging, and codeoptimization. Ability to collaborate and communicate complex technicalconcepts.
Ability to deliver high-quality C code in a real-time embedded environment. Proficiency in a variety of embedded architectures, from bare metal to RTOS implementations, as well as a deep understanding of modern multi-core 32-bit embedded controller peripherals and architecture. Understanding of CI/CD pipeline and software build infrastructure.
Even better, you may have... Experience in low-level driver development and RTOS integration. Experience with software build tools like Bazel, Scons, Cmake etc
Experience with fundamental hardware components on PCB and their analysis tools. Ability to write testing scripts for using scripting languages (Python) Fluent in software fundamentals including software design and maintainability. Hands-on experience in hardware bring-up, system debugging, and codeoptimization.
