Senior Embedded AI / Firmware Engineer

Senior Embedded AI / Firmware Engineer

Industry: Power Supply / Power Electronics / OEM & ODM Manufacturing
Location: Taiwan / Vietnam / Mexico
Employment Type: Full-time

Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Embedded AI / Firmware Engineer to develop embedded software, firmware, and intelligent control solutions for next-generation power electronics products.

The role will focus on integrating MCU/DSP, embedded firmware, digital power control, sensing, communication, and Edge AI into power supplies, chargers, inverters, battery systems, and other intelligent electronic products.

The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience in embedded firmware development and a solid understanding of power electronics and hardware/software integration. Experience applying AI or machine learning algorithms to embedded or real-time systems is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, debug, and maintain embedded firmware for power supplies, chargers, adapters, inverters, and related electronic products.
• Develop firmware for MCU/DSP-based digital power control and power management systems.
• Implement control algorithms for voltage, current, power, charging, protection, thermal management, and system optimization.
• Integrate sensors and real-time operating data including voltage, current, temperature, load, and other electrical parameters.
• Develop communication interfaces and protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, RS485, or related interfaces.
• Integrate AI/ML algorithms and Edge AI capabilities into embedded systems for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, fault diagnosis, and intelligent power management.
• Optimize AI models for resource-constrained embedded platforms, including model size, memory usage, processing speed, and power consumption.
• Work closely with hardware and power electronics engineers on board bring-up, circuit debugging, firmware integration, and system validation.
• Support prototype development, engineering verification, reliability testing, certification, and mass-production transfer.
• Develop firmware diagnostics and data-logging functions to support product testing, troubleshooting, and predictive analysis.
• Participate in software architecture, code reviews, technical documentation, and development standards.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/firmware integration issues and provide root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with AI/ML, hardware, control, testing, manufacturing, and quality teams to develop intelligent power products.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines.
• Minimum 5 years of embedded firmware development experience, preferably in power electronics, electronics, industrial equipment, automotive, or energy-related products.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ and experience with embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with MCU/DSP platforms and real-time embedded development.
• Solid understanding of firmware architecture, interrupt handling, peripherals, memory management, and real-time systems.
• Experience with RTOS is preferred; embedded Linux experience is a plus.
• Familiarity with digital power control, power conversion, battery charging, inverter, or power management systems.
• Experience with hardware/software integration, debugging tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and firmware debugging environments.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, or RS485.
• Experience developing intelligent functions such as anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, fault classification, or adaptive control.
• Knowledge of power supply topologies such as Flyback, LLC, PFC, DC/DC, inverter, or battery charging systems.
• Experience with digital power control using DSP, MCU, FPGA, or related platforms.
