About the RoleOur client, an engineering organisation developing advanced power conversion and electrification technologies, is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to support firmware development for high-power converter systems.
In this role, you will work closely with power electronics, hardware, and systems engineering teams to design and implement embedded control software for real-time power electronics applications.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and maintain embedded firmware for real-time power electronics control systems operating in safety-critical environments
- Implement control algorithms for DC-DC converters, AC-DC converters, and inverter systems, including modulation, protection mechanisms, and state management
- Support integration of firmware with FPGA-based control and sensing architectures
- Translate control system requirements into efficient and testable firmware implementations
- Perform board bring-up and firmware validation on bare-metal embedded targets
- Contribute to unit testing, integration testing, and automated build pipelines
- Support verification, validation, and commissioning activities at both laboratory and system levels
- Produce and maintain technical documentation covering firmware design, interfaces, and known limitations
- Strong proficiency in C programming for embedded systems
- Experience developing bare-metal firmware (minimal or no RTOS environments)
- Understanding of power electronics control concepts: PWM generation, current/voltage control loops, protection mechanisms
- Experience interfacing firmware with embedded peripherals (ADCs, PWM, CAN, SPI, I²C, etc.)
- Experience implementing unit testing approaches for embedded software
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for firmware build, testing, and deployment
- Experience with Dev Ops-style workflows including version control (Git) and agile environments
- Proficiency in embedded debugging tools: JTAG/SWD debuggers, logic analysers, oscilloscopes
- Experience with VHDL and FPGA-based signal processing or control
- Understanding of CPU/FPGA co-processing architectures
- Exposure to high-power or high-voltage power conversion systems
- Familiarity with control theory applied to power electronics (PI/PR controllers, feed-forward control)
- Experience using MATLAB/Simulink for modelling and control algorithm validation
- Knowledge of Python for scripting, automation, or test tooling
