Mesodyne
Embedded Systems Engineer at an energy startup -- hardware integration
Mesodyne, Somerville, Massachusetts, us, 02145
Embedded Systems Engineer – Hardware Integration
Mesodyne is a startup company revolutionizing power generation with its innovative LightCell technology, using thermophotovoltaics to provide efficient, silent, reliable, long‑endurance power from any fuel. By bridging the gap between batteries and internal combustion engines, Mesodyne's LightCell technology provides more than a 10x improvement in endurance for unmanned vehicles, wearables, and various other equipment.
This role is for the Embedded Systems Engineer who wants to be close to the hardware. You will write firmware that acts as the brain of our LightCell power generator, implementing control loops, managing sensors, and bringing a complex physical system to life.
Responsibilities
Firmware for System Control: develop, test, and debug embedded firmware that controls the LightCell's pumps, valves, and thermal systems, implementing robust PID control loops and state machines.
Driver Development: write and validate drivers for various sensors and peripherals using protocols like I2C, SPI, and UART.
Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop Troubleshooting: debug hardware/software interface, isolate issues in firmware, electronics, or mechanical systems.
Develop Test Automation: write test scripts (e.g., in Python) to automate the testing of integrated prototypes, streamlining data collection and validation.
Collaborate on System Architecture: work closely with EE and ME teams to define control strategies and provide input on sensor/actuator selection.
Qualifications and Skills
B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Proven experience writing and debugging firmware for complex electromechanical systems.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
Hands‑on experience with debugging tools that bridge hardware and software (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
Experience implementing control loops (e.g., PID) and managing real‑time system behavior.
This position is based at our facility in Somerville, MA.
