Position Overview
We are seeking a proficient Firmware Engineer that will develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control and real-time embedded systems. Key responsibilities include implementing control algorithms, debugging communication protocols, and integrating firmware with frameworks like ROS, while collaborating with hardware teams to ensure system performance.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control, including advanced control algorithms and system identification.
- Design, debug, and integrate low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, UART, and SPI.
- Implement and maintain real-time systems using RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, VxWorks).
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systems.
- Integrate firmware into higher-level communication frameworks, such as DDS (Distributed Data Service), e.g., ROS.
- Test, validate, and debug firmware systems in the lab.
- Document firmware design processes and contribute to best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics.
- Hands-on experience in firmware development for robotics, motor control, or embedded systems.
- Expertise in BLDC motor control, including FOC (Field-Oriented Control), PWM, and current/position control techniques.
- Proficiency in low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, and SPI.
- Experience with real-time embedded systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux).
- Familiarity with DDS frameworks (e.g., ROS).
- Proficient in C/C++ for embedded systems and adept with debugging tools.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to handle complex system integration challenges.
