Build and maintain the embedded software stack for the Delta Unit Controller, the skid-level brain that coordinates PCS, BMS, and HVAC and exposes a clean interface to the upstream RT and SCADA. You will lead the platform of the developed code base onto Delta US hardware, set up modern CI/CD on Azure Dev Ops, and deliver IEEE  / UL 1741-SB compliant firmware.

• Develop firmware/middleware for the Unit Controller in C/C++ (and Rust where appropriate) on Linux / RTOS targets (Yocto, FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
• Receive and re-platform the existing Taiwan Unit Controller code base; refactor for US PCS/BESS vendors and US standards
• Implement Modbus TCP/RTU, IEC 61850 (client), CAN, and OPC UA stacks; integrate with PCS, BMS, HVAC, and meters
• Stand up CI/CD pipelines on Azure Dev Ops with self-hosted build agents, automated unit tests, static analysis (MISRA, Coverity), and HIL-in-the-loop gates
• Implement secure boot, signed OTA updates, role-based access, audit logging — aligned to IEC 62443-4-1/-4-2 and NERC CIP where applicable
• BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science; 5+ years in embedded software for industrial / energy system
• Expert in C/C++ on Linux and/or RTOS; strong with multithreading, real-time scheduling, IPC, and deterministic networking
• Industrial protocol experience:
  Modbus TCP, IEC 61850 (MMS/GOOSE client), DNP3, OPC UA, CA
• Modern Dev Ops:
  Git, Azure Dev Ops or Git Hub Actions, Docker, Yocto build systems, hardware-in the-loop test rig
• Cybersecurity fundamentals: secure boot, TLS/mTLS, signed updates, key management
