Responsibilities
- Develop, debug, and maintain embedded C/C++ firmware for MCU-based Single Phase UPS platforms.
- Implement real-time software using RTOS tasks, interrupts, queues, synchronization mechanisms, timers, and watchdogs.
- Develop board support packages, hardware abstraction layers, peripheral drivers, application state machines, supervisory logic, and diagnostic functions.
- Build HMI features including displays, menus, configuration settings, system status, alarms, and event logs.
- Develop communication interfaces using protocols such as CAN and UART between UPS controllers, HMI, network cards, and other subsystems.
- Support bootloaders, field upgrades, software version handling, recovery mechanisms, and nonvolatile storage.
- Integrate peripherals such as sensors, communication transceivers, memory, and display or input devices.
- Perform hardware bring-up and on-target troubleshooting with debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and laboratory instruments.
- Create and execute unit, integration, and system-level tests and investigate intermittent faults, timing issues, and communication failures.
- Document firmware interfaces and design decisions, participate in code reviews, and collaborate with firmware, hardware, test, and other engineering teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of hands-on embedded firmware development experience with independent delivery and maintenance of firmware components.
- Strong C programming skills and working knowledge of C++ for resource-constrained embedded systems.
- Practical experience with RTOS concepts and implementation, including scheduling, interrupts, synchronization, and resource management.
- Hands-on experience developing or debugging MCU peripherals, low-level drivers, or hardware abstraction layers.
- Working knowledge of embedded communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, or CAN.
- Experience implementing application logic, state machines, diagnostic functions, or user-facing embedded features.
- Ability to read basic hardware schematics and debug firmware on real boards using JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, or logic analyzers.
- Understanding of embedded software quality, memory and timing constraints, fault handling, and verification methods.
- Experience using Git, reviewing code, and communicating technical work effectively.
- Preferred experience includes UPS, power management, industrial control, automation, reliable embedded products, graphical HMI development, display or touch integration, and UI frameworks such as LVGL, TouchGFX, or Qt.
- Preferred familiarity includes FreeRTOS, Zephyr, CMSIS-RTOS, ThreadX, ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, Ethernet, RS-485, Modbus, SNMP, bootloaders, firmware upgrades, nonvolatile storage, multi-controller communication, embedded Linux, Python, automated embedded testing, Hardware-in-the-Loop, and laboratory firmware validation.
