This position focuses on developing robust and reliable firmware from scratch for ARM Cortex‑M class microcontrollers to function within large‑scale, distributed industrial applications. You will work on communication with and control of various off‑the‑sale devices as well as control algorithms for power electronics.
Responsibilities
Help build a new embedded firmware platform from scratch with a focus on robust and performant network communication
Design and implement frameworks to support simulation and SIL/HIL integration testing
Design and deploy state estimation and power electronics control algorithms optimized for a resource‑constrained environment
Collaborate with electrical and systems engineers closely to specify and implement system behaviors and diagnostics coverage
Produce excellent software documentation
Contribute to a collaborative, fast‑paced startup culture, where every team member plays a crucial role in achieving company milestones
Desired Qualifications
BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science
5+ years of experience in firmware engineering, with a strong focus in power conversion, renewable energy systems, or similar
Proven track record in shipping new products at scale
Excellent proficiency in Rust or C and debugging embedded systems
Experience with digital protocols such as SPI, CAN, and Ethernet and application layer protocols such as CoAP or MQTT
Expert knowledge of microcontroller hardware peripherals and RTOS
Experience with CI/CD & test automation applied to software‑enabled hardware products
Proficiency in Python preferred
Good to have experience with reverse engineering CAN protocols and developing custom diagnostic tools for evaluating embedded systems
Self‑motivated, with the ability to manage your work in a startup environment, balancing multiple priorities and deadlines
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with ability to build relationships with all levels of the organization and present to internal and external executives
Physical Requirements
Ability to perform the essential job functions consistently and safely with ADA, FMLA and other federal, state, and local standards, including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards
Ability to maintain regular, punctual attendance consistent with the ADA, FMLA and other federal, state, and local standards
Working Conditions
Environment: office or outdoors
Ability to work in challenging working conditions which may include exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes, while protected by PPE, for extended periods of time
Essential physical requirements such as climbing, standing, stooping, or typing
Occasional work weekends, nights, or on‑call as a regular part of the job
Occasional travel requirements
In accordance with California pay transparency laws, the salary range for this position is listed below. Actual compensation may vary based on a variety of factors, including experience, education, and skills.
