• Design and implement drivers and application layers using peripherals such as ADC, PWM, GPIO, CAN/CAN-FD, I2C, SPI, EEPROM, and timers.
• Define firmware state machines, implement closed-loop control algorithms, and design fault handling, protection logic, and communication protocols.
• Lead hardwarefirmware integration, bring-up, and validation of power converter platforms.
• Perform root cause analysis of firmwarehardware interaction and closed-loop control issues and drive corrective actions in coordination with control and power teams.
• Own planning and execution of firmware testing on prototypes, including functional, stress, and corner-case testing.
• Develop test cases, test plans, and validation procedures for embedded firmware and systems.
• Contribute to coding standards, best practices, and review processes.
• Review firmware designs and code of junior engineers.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to team members.
• Prepare firmware design documents, interface specifications, and release notes.

Desired Qualifications and Skills:

• Masters in Power Electronics or B.E. in Electrical Engineering with 58 years of relevant industry experience.
• Strong understanding of closed-loop control of power converters and hands-on experience implementing digital control algorithms on embedded platforms.
• Experience in safety and reliability coding standard and practices.
• Conversant with bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms.
• Hands-on experience with debug tools (logic analyzers etc)
• Experience with TI C2000 family microcontrollers is a plus.
