the embedded firmware engineer will be responsible for all aspects of embedded firmware development using ti, nxp, freescale or equivalent dsp chips for power electronics, active magnetic bearing and motor drive applications.
Essential duties and responsibilities
lead embedded firmware development activities in c/c++ and assembly languages for active magnetic bearings (amb) control, permanent magnet motors/generators and power converter control.
Support and modify existing firmware and develop new firmware for amb and power electronics for motor drive applications.
Support internal and external software architecture and operation design reviews.
Generate documentation related to firmware and interfaces with traceability to customer and firmware certification requirements including but not limited to software requirements specification, software design description, software verification and validation plan, software test plan, software user documentation, and software quality assurance plan.
Perform hands on work encompassing debugging, troubleshooting, and testing of existing and new firmware.
Develop test plan, perform validation test and ensure compliance to specification.
Develop and implement firmware lifecycle control process and documentation.
Provide timely software support for both in-house testing and customer field service support.
Work closely with the hardware and controls teams to architect, implement, test and deploy safety critical software on next generation products as well as existing systems.
Required skills, experience, education, and abilities
