Firmware Development - Design and implement embedded application firmware for microprocessor‑based fault‑interrupting and control systems. - Develop and review embedded C/C++ firmware, including low‑level drivers for custom hardware and low‑power designs. - Oversee and contribute to real‑time behavior, fault tolerance, watchdogs, bootloaders, and firmware update mechanisms. - Develop supporting PC‑based engineering tools, diagnostics, and test utilities as needed. Delivery & Execution - Translate product, system, and regulatory requirements into executable software designs and implementation strategies. - Create accurate development estimates, influence schedules, and identify technical risks early. - Define and enforce unit, integration, and system‑level test strategies; ensure robust automated testing. - Partner closely with hardware, systems, test, product management, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful product delivery. Mentorship & Influence - Mentor and coach software engineers at multiple levels through code reviews, design guidance, and technical problem‑solving. - Raise the overall technical bar of the organization through knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives. - Act as a technical escalation point for complex field issues and root‑cause investigations. Innovation & Continuous Improvement - Evaluate new tools, technologies, and architectures relevant to embedded and grid‑control systems. - Drive improvements in development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and engineering processes. - Author clear technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and design rationale.
