Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer - Power Electronics

Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer Power Electronics Job Overview The Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer will be responsible for executing projects and initiatives on AC-DC Rectifier and DC-DC converter products. These projects will include New Product Introduction, Direct Material Productivity, resolving customer issues, and sustaining engineering of existing products. The Embedded Firmware Engineer will work with systems engineering and other technology functions to design, evaluate, code, integrate, and validate firmware for smart electrical protection systems. Responsibilities Design and develop embedded firmware on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in C language for real-time control of single and three phase power factor correction (PFC), phase shifted full bridge, DC/DC and LLC resonant power converter topologies. Model and implement closed loop digital control (PI, PID, PR, etc.) for same. Assembly language as required for critical speed fault detection and protection. Design and develop inter-processor communication protocols and poll/response serial protocols. Perform lab-setting debug on functional high power / high voltage circuits. Adhere to coding standards and software engineering best practices including code maintenance in common code revision control system, such as CVS, Azure or Git. Analyze results and present findings at technical design reviews to ensure design robustness, efficiency, future maintainability and supportability. Work with the power electronics hardware team on optimizing/ debugging the product designs. Support the global development team by ensuring that firmware maintains compatibility with other systems/products. Assure proper documentation of technical data generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures. Demonstrate competency in an Integrated Development Environment (Visual Studio, Eclipse).
