Our client is hiring a junior embedded software developer to help expand and maintain firmware running on real-world power electronics products (power inverters, batteries, rectifiers).
The role focuses on building reliable, efficient low-level software in C/C++ that runs close to the hardware, interfaces with sensors/actuators, communicates with other devices, and supports diagnostics and field reliability.
Typical problems include predictable timing behavior, working within limited memory/CPU, investigating bugs that can involve both hardware and software, and improving maintainability across product variants.
