Description

Position Summary:

Provide technical leadership with responsibility for the design, development, and delivery of new Controls Products. Sustain and improve existing valve control and IoT products.

• Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded systems, including ARM-based microcontrollers or similar platforms.
• Implement low-level drivers for peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, ADC, PWM, CAN, USB, etc.).
• Integrate and debug board bring-up activities with electrical and hardware engineering teams.
• Develop real-time embedded applications using C/C in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
• Perform firmware testing, validation, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debugging tools (JTAG/SWD).
• Refactor and optimize existing firmware for performance, power efficiency, and reliability.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and documentation of firmware architecture and interfaces.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, system behavior, and test strategies.
• Work with version control, build systems, and CI pipelines (e.g., Git, CMake, Jenkins, Git Lab CI).

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• 2–4 years of experience in embedded firmware development.
• Strong proficiency in C (primary) and familiarity with C .
• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, PIC, MSP
  430, ESP
  32, etc.).
• Familiarity with embedded debugging tools (GDB, J-Link, Lauterbach, etc.).
• Solid understanding of embedded communication protocols and hardware interfaces.
• Experience working with RTOS-based systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Thread
  
  X, etc.) or bare-metal environments.
• Knowledge of firmware development lifecycle, from requirements through deployment.

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• Experience with wireless stacks (BLE, Wi‑Fi, Zigbee, Thread, LoRa).
• Familiarity with secure bootloaders and OTA update systems.
• Exposure to Python for automation, testing, or scripting.
• Understanding of PCB schematics and ability to read electrical diagrams.
• Experience in highly regulated industries (medical, automotive, aerospace and/or industrial) is a plus.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in hardware-software interaction.
