About the role

  • Control Algorithm Development: Develop and optimize control algorithms for digital power management and conversion, including voltage regulation, current limiting, and fault protection. Implement closed-loop control systems to ensure precise power delivery and stability.
  • Firmware Development: Design, code, and test firmware for microcontrollers that control and monitor power electronics hardware. Implement real-time control loops, communication protocols, and fault detection mechanisms.
  • System Integration: Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate firmware with power electronics components, ensuring compatibility and performance. Participate in hardware bring-up and debugging to validate and refine firmware functionality.
  • Verification and Testing: Develop test procedures and perform validation testing to ensure the reliability and safety of digital power systems. Debug and resolve firmware-related issues and anomalies.
  • Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation for firmware design, code, and testing procedures. Prepare reports and design documentation for team members.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, and product managers, to ensure project goals are met. Work with external partners or vendors when necessary.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in embedded systems, such as C and C++. Knowledge of assembly language may also be beneficial.
  • At least 3-year digital power development experience.
  • Familiarity with signal processing techniques and algorithms.
  • Strong understanding of embedded systems architecture and microcontroller/microprocessor operation.
  • Knowledge of digital and analog electronics, including sensors, microcontrollers, and communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, PMBus).
  • Ability to design, code, and test firmware for controlling hardware components, implementing algorithms, and handling various functions.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for identifying and rectifying firmware-related issues.
  • Effective communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with hardware engineers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Expertise in Totem Pole PFC, BBU, DC/DC controller development.
  • Experience with AC input 3-phase PFC controller development (preferred).
