Embedded Controls Engineer

Embedded Controls Engineer

We are looking for an Embedded Controls Engineer to join our team in Mentor, Ohio. This role focuses on developing real-time control software for industrial power conversion products, combining embedded programming with close interaction with hardware. The ideal candidate brings strong experience in power electronics, control implementation, and embedded interface development, and is comfortable working across firmware, diagnostics, and system validation.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement embedded control software for industrial power conversion systems with an emphasis on stability, performance, and real-time operation.
• Develop firmware in C and C++ for microcontroller- and DSP-based platforms, integrating timing-critical functions and low-level hardware control.
• Create and refine control algorithms for converters, inverters, rectifiers, and regulated DC systems based on application and system requirements.
• Interface directly with hardware components such as ADCs, PWMs, timers, and interrupt-driven subsystems to support accurate sensing and control behavior.
• Build and maintain embedded web-based user interfaces and device-hosted web services using modern browser technologies and lightweight network stacks.
• Troubleshoot and validate system behavior using laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power analyzers.
• Support communication and interoperability across embedded platforms using industrial and device-level protocols where required.
• Contribute to simulation, test automation, and hardware-in-the-loop validation activities to improve software reliability and development efficiency.
