Outline controller requirements based on system performance specifications
Evaluate new manufacturing processes for controllability and fit to system needs
Work cross organizationally (Cell Process, Manufacturing, EE, Power Electronics, etc.) to make design decisions on controller architecture, representing the firmware org
Translate algorithms into software implementation, design the software architecture and firmware implementation
Own firmware through life cycle from prototype to high-volume production, high-quality C code in a real-time embedded environment
Test, validate, and troubleshoot controller implementation. Collaborate with validation teams to add coverage to regression tests
Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to analyze a system’s robustness
Prototype embedded software to evaluate concepts on various manufacturing systems
Develop scripts to analyze fleet performance of existing systems to make precise software/hardware improvements on existing and future processes (Python)
Solve hard, undefined problems with limited direction. Hands-on with hardware bring-up and prototyping
What You’ll Bring
Experience leading a technical effort from concept to production. Experience writing clear requirements, system diagrams
Mentorship experience working with junior developers
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience in related fields with practical experience developing, implementing, and testing power electronics controls or battery electronics
Experience validating complex systems (Note: this is not a validation role but understanding this part of the process is important to the success of the job)
Exceptional understanding of electrical engineering concepts, strong hands-on testing and troubleshooting skills
Understanding of safety critical development frameworks (DO-178, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, etc.)
Understanding of communication technologies (Ethernet, CAN, MQTT, Serial, etc.) and embedded technologies (ADC, PWM, SPI, UART, I2C, PMIC, etc.)
Excellent communication skills, can clearly communicate technical findings to various audiences, be available to other team members when questions arise. Excellent attention to detail
