Our client, a leader in the Energy Storage industry, is looking for a skilled Embedded Engineer to join their team for a Full-time engagement. This project involves developing and implementing real-time, high-performance firmware for advanced energy storage systems, with a strong focus on functional safety and reliability. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Design and implement real-time, C++, RTOS-based firmware targeting microcontrollers.
• Understand, code, and use microcontroller hardware to meet functional safety requirements.
• Create firmware for embedded prototypes to validate hardware design choices and accelerate firmware development.
• Verify and support the integration of your code.
• Assist with the definition of requirements.
• Support products deployed to the field.
• Participate in hardware and software design reviews.
• Adhere to modern disciplined development practices such as Clang-based linting, consistent formatting, thoughtful naming, and clear commenting.

• Deep expertise in real-time C++ programming, RTOS (Real-Time Operating Systems), and microcontroller-based firmware development. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with functional safety requirements for embedded systems and modern disciplined development practices.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
