About the role:

Do you want to help change the world? This position sits within a team that develops fully functional prototypes from scratch to demonstrate new, advanced operation and control for autonomous grid connection, management, and regulation.

As a Senior Staff Embedded Firmware Engineer - Inverter, BESS, you will drive firmware and embedded software development for real-time operation and control of microinverter systems, working closely with hardware engineers to bring prototype designs to life — from concept through validation. This is a leadership role: you will mentor and grow other senior and junior engineers while setting the technical direction for the team.

What will you do: 

• Define and develop new functional concepts for the microinverter system and its sub-systems.
• Design and implement firmware and embedded software for real-time operation and control.
• Design firmware for functional safety and compliance with UL1741, IEEE 1547, and IEC 62109 standards.
• Simulate new algorithms for autonomous microgrid power flow management.
• Develop unit and system test software.
• Validate algorithms using system simulation tools.
• Work with hardware engineers to test and troubleshoot prototype designs.
• Perform firmware testing prior to design releases to the QA team.
• Organize thorough PR reviews, documentation rigor, and well-managed release branches.
• Accelerate firmware development and testing flow utilizing AI tools.
• Provide technical leadership, mentoring and growing other senior and junior engineers.

Who You Are and What You Will Bring:

• B. E/ B. Tech in Electrical Engineering and/or Power Electronics/Power Systems.
• 12+ years of experience in embedded software or firmware design and development, preferably in electrical/control systems and/or power electronics products.
• Expertise in C, C++, and Assembly for real-time applications.
• In-depth experience coding in FreeRTOS and bare-metal environments.
• Ability to understand and implement digital signal processing (DSP) concepts in a 32-bit or larger microprocessor environment.
• Familiarity with evaluating CPU versus hardware processing requirements and trade-offs for cost-effective designs.
• Ability to troubleshoot firmware-related issues within complex systems, including hands-on testing in the lab.
• Ability to test code and hardware both with and without external test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power meters, and similar instruments.
• Ability to carry a design task from concept to implementation.
• Ability to document engineering requirements, document solutions, and test new firmware designs.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, with the ability to mentor and grow senior and junior engineers and set technical direction.
• Familiarity with software development processes (e.g., Agile, structured, object-oriented).
• Familiarity with development tools such as GCC, GDB, Eclipse, and GNU Make.
• Familiarity with source code management tools such as Git and Mercurial.
• Experience with Zephyr RTOS.
• Familiarity with firmware build pipeline tools such as Bitbucket, Docker, GitHub, and JFrog; experience with CI/CD release processes is a plus.
