Principal Firmware Engineer

Job description

In this role, you will create control firmware for a family of MCU-based digital power controllers for various DC/DC power supply topologies. This will enable real-time control, configuration, and communication with external systems through serial protocols such as I2C, PMBus and UART.

In your new role, you will:
 

• Write and test embedded firmware for power IC applications using C
• Implement real-time control and configuration firmware for embedded systems
• Interface with serial communication protocols such as I2C, PMBus, and UART
• Conduct firmware development for peripherals such as ADC, DAC and communication interfaces
• Assist in debugging and validating embedded firmware with mixed-signal hardware in a lab environment
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to ensure seamless functionality
• Create and maintain documentation, including feature descriptions, user guides, and firmware design specifications
• Contribute to new ideas for firmware improvements and participate in code reviews to maintain quality standards

Your profile

You are a hands-on engineer with a strong interest in embedded firmware development. You coordinate effectively with colleagues, share insights proactively, and take initiative to overcome technical challenges. You have high standards and commitment to continuous improvement.

You are best equipped for this task if you have:
 

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Science or similar
• 5-7 years of experience in embedded firmware development
• Know-how and experience in DC-DC power conversion systems, with basic understanding of mixed-signal systems
• Proficiency in C programming for embedded systems, and familiarity with Python is a plus
• Familiarity with serial communication protocols such as I2C, UART, or PMBus and experience debugging firmware with hardware circuits
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., GIT) and debugging tools (e.g., JTAG) and bug tracking systems like JIRA is a plus
• Knowledge of bare-metal, RTOS environments, and device drivers is a plus
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills, as well as good communication skills in English
