What is a microcontroller programmer?

A Microcontroller Programmer is responsible for writing, testing, and debugging code for microcontrollers, which are small embedded systems used in various electronic devices. They typically work with programming languages like C and C++ and use development environments specific to different microcontroller families. Their role involves optimizing code for performance, integrating hardware components, and troubleshooting firmware issues. Microcontroller programmers are commonly employed in industries such as automotive, medical devices, robotics, and consumer electronics.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a microcontroller programmer?

Microcontroller Programmers typically spend their days writing, testing, and debugging firmware that runs on embedded devices. They often collaborate with hardware engineers to define system requirements, integrate new features, and troubleshoot issues that span both hardware and software. In addition to hands-on programming, they may be responsible for updating documentation, participating in team meetings, and reviewing code to ensure quality standards are met. This role frequently involves problem-solving, adapting to evolving project needs, and staying current with emerging microcontroller technologies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the microcontroller programmer position, and why are they important?

A Microcontroller Programmer should have a solid background in embedded systems, C/C++ programming, and microcontroller architectures, usually supported by a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with development tools like IDEs (e.g., MPLAB, Keil), debugging interfaces, and version control systems is essential, and certifications such as ARM Accredited Engineer can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical information clearly are valuable soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for developing reliable, efficient firmware solutions and effectively collaborating with hardware and systems engineering teams.

At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.

We are looking to add an Electrical Engineer II - Spacecraft Hardware role on the spacecraft team. You will perform PCB-level implementation, translating spacecraft requirements into robust hardware designs while ensuring alignment with overall system performance, reliability, and mission objectives. You will own board-level development from design through production while contributing to subsystem definition, integration, and troubleshooting across the full spacecraft lifecycle. 

Mentorship and growth are key to long-term success. The successful candidate will be surrounded by more experienced engineers in hardware as well as software, FPGAs, thermal, mechanical, and other fields. Rapid technical and professional growth is both encouraged and expected. 

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited university. 
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in electronics hardware development. 
  • Proficiency in electronics design (EDA) tools such as Altium and experience with PCB layout. 
  • Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, electronic loads, and signal generators. 
  • Experience creating and editing block diagrams to represent system or board functionality. 
  • Ability to conduct trade studies on part selection or technical direction taking input from others. 
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills to work with broader cross-functional teams. 
  • Excellent electrical engineering fundamentals with an understanding of how to apply them to novel tasks. 
  • Willingness to take on challenges and dig into difficult problems and stick with them until they are solved 
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Simulation and analysis experience such as power integrity, signal integrity, or worst-case circuit analysis. 
  • Experience using LTSpice for circuit and/or system level simulations. 
  • Advanced university coursework in analog, digital, RF, or power electronics hardware. 
  • Experience with microcontroller or FPGA based systems. 
  • Programming fundamentals (C/C++, Python, etc.). 
  • Familiarity with EMI/EMC concepts and understanding of how to design to mitigate these effects. 
  • Relevant extracurricular involvement such as engineering competition teams.
