\tThe Employee shall have the following duties and responsibilities:\u00a0Design, develop, and maintain firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, particularly STM32 series MCUs, ensuring code meets performance, power consumption, and memory constraints.
\n\tWrite efficient, maintainable, and well-documented embedded C\/C++ code following best practices and coding standards.
\n\tImplement and integrate communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and wireless protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
\n\tDevelop and implement sensor interfaces, signal processing algorithms, and control systems for temperature monitoring, power management, and user interface applications.
\n\tCollaborate with hardware engineers to define firmware-hardware interfaces, review schematics, and provide input on component selection and PCB design considerations.
\n\tDebug complex firmware issues using JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
\n\tDevelop and execute unit tests, integration tests, and support hardware validation activities in collaboration with the test engineering team.
\n\tOptimize firmware for real-time performance, memory usage, and power efficiency in resource-constrained embedded systems.
\n\tImplement bootloaders, firmware update mechanisms, and secure programming features.
\n\tCreate and maintain comprehensive technical documentation including design specifications, API documentation, code comments, and user guides.
\n\tParticipate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions to ensure quality and knowledge sharing across the team.
\n\tSupport manufacturing during product ramp-up, including firmware flashing procedures, production testing, and troubleshooting.
\n\tConduct root cause analysis for firmware-related field issues and implement corrective actions.
\n\tStay current with emerging technologies, tools, and best practices in embedded systems development.
\n\tSupport regulatory compliance activities including CE certification, EMC testing, and safety standards implementation.<\/p>\n
Skills and Experience<\/p>\n
\tBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
\n\tAt least 1-3 years of hands-on firmware development experience with embedded systems.
\n\tStrong proficiency in embedded C programming and solid understanding of embedded systems fundamentals.
\n\tDemonstrated experience with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, preferably STM32 series (STM32G0, STM32F series, or similar).
\n\tExperience with embedded development tools including STM32CubeIDE, Keil, IAR, or similar IDEs.
\n\tWorking knowledge of communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and experience with at least one wireless protocol (BLE, Wi-Fi, or LoRa).
\n\tUnderstanding of interrupt handling, timers, DMA, ADC\/DAC, PWM, and power management techniques.
\n\tExperience with RTOS concepts or bare-metal programming.
\n\tProficiency with debugging tools including JTAG\/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
\n\tStrong experience with Git version control and collaborative development workflows.
\n\tAbility to read and interpret schematics and datasheets.
\n\tEffective verbal and written communication skills, with ability to create clear technical documentation.
\n\tStrong analytical and problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
\n\tExperience with test automation using Python or other scripting languages is a bonus.
\n\tExperience in consumer electronics, IoT products, or energy sector applications is a bonus.
\n\tGood understanding of electronics
\n\tFamiliarity with Agile development methodologies is a bonus.<\/p>\n
