Embedded Controls Engineer

Job Title: Embedded Controls Engineer

1. Embedded Controls Engineer

• Control theory knowledge
• Controls at the embedded level
• Experience on controlling the switching devices power electronics (i.e. IGBTs, Transistors, MOSFETs).
• This job position will be heavy on controlling switches to deliver power from one side to another.

• Design, implement, test, debug, and support operating system and application software that meets technical specifications and customer requirements for precision variable frequency drives.
• Apply control theory to develop and refine firmware algorithms for electric motor control and DC/DC converter control in embedded systems.
• Adhere to established coding standards, revision control practices, and software development processes to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.
• Solicit, analyze, and incorporate feedback from customers and end users to enhance product performance, usability, and reliability.
• Conduct and actively participate in code reviews and design reviews to ensure robust architecture, code quality, and adherence to requirements.
• Champion new ideas, features, and improvements-large and small-in a respectful and collaborative manner.
• Document software and firmware designs thoroughly with clear comments, technical reports, and design descriptions to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.
• Track, analyze, and resolve reported software and firmware bugs, and perform thorough testing to verify the effectiveness and robustness of fixes.
• Design and develop reusable software and system components and integrate them into both existing and new product designs.
• Work closely with electrical hardware engineers during planning, design, and development to ensure optimal software and hardware performance and compatibility.
• Serve as the technical lead on assigned projects, coordinating with cross-functional teams and customers to meet deliverables and resolve technical or product issues.

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis on control of electric motors and/or DC/DC converters.
• Minimum of 3 years of related experience in control systems, embedded firmware, or similar engineering roles.
• Strong experience in control theory and its practical application to engineering problems, particularly in motor control and power electronics.
• Solid understanding of basic physics relevant to electromechanical and power electronic systems.
• Expert-level proficiency with MATLAB and Simulink for modeling, simulation, and control algorithm development.
• Hands-on experience with real-time operating systems for embedded applications.
• Experience developing Verilog HDL code for programmable logic or related digital design tasks.
• Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded software development on microcontrollers or similar platforms.
• Experience using GIT for version control, branching, and collaborative software development.

• Experience with Vivado design tools for FPGA development and implementation.
• Experience with Vitis for embedded software and system design on programmable platforms.
• Familiarity with MATLAB/System Generator for FPGA-based algorithm design and verification.
• Experience with Mathematica or similar tools for advanced mathematical modeling and analysis.
• Experience working with electric motors, power electronics, and PC board-level hardware is beneficial.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineering teams and communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
