Job Description

As an Embedded Firmware Engineer, you’ll play a hands-on role in developing and implementing firmware solutions that drive industry-leading solutions. Working closely with both internal teams and external customers, you’ll help redefine standards for efficiency and sustainability in the field.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborative Development: Work closely with system architects and software and hardware developers to translate system requirements into detailed firmware specifications.
• Firmware design and implementation: Assess the unique firmware needs of each project, design the architecture, and implement a firmware solution with support from a multidisciplinary team.
• End-to-end ownership: Take full ownership of the firmware lifecycle—from initial specification and design through to implementation, rigorous testing for reliability, and production release.
• Documentation: Develop and maintain technical documentation to ensure clear communication and long-term project sustainability.
• Progress monitoring and reporting: Keep all stakeholders informed by regularly tracking and reporting on project progress, ensuring alignment and transparency.

Qualifications

• Education: M.Sc. or B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years in embedded firmware design specifically for power electronics applications (e.g., DC/DC, AC/DC, resonant converters).
• Technical expertise: Strong understanding of software development principles for power electronic devices, with proficiency in C, C++, and Python, supported by solid computer science fundamentals.
• Development tools and infrastructure: Proficient with version control systems (e.g., Git), lifecycle management, build systems, and development tools like debug probes and logic analysers. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, or HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing is a plus.
• Process knowledge: Skilled in structured development processes, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and documentation.
• Circuitry and microprocessor understanding: Strong foundation in analogue/digital circuits and microprocessor functionality.
• Control theory knowledge: Familiarity with control methods used in power electronics (e.g., peak current mode control) is an advantage.
• Language proficiency: Fluent in English (C1 level); German skills at B2 level or higher are a plus but not required.
