Working within our Software Engineering group, you will collaborate with global teams in California, Texas, India, and New Zealand to build autonomous grid connection and regulation features.
What You Will Do
- Develop & Implement: Build and maintain sophisticated C/C++ applications for embedded Linux systems that control power distribution and system stability.
- System Integration: Implement application-level logic that interfaces with hardware drivers, network protocols, and cloud services under the guidance of senior staff.
- Feature Ownership: Take responsibility for specific software modules and features from initial coding and prototyping to testing and deployment.
- Quality & Testing: Write clean, maintainable code and develop compilation-time unit tests to ensure high reliability in mission-critical energy systems.
- Collaborate: Partner with cross-functional teams (Hardware, Systems, and Cloud) to troubleshoot and resolve system-level bugs and performance issues.
- Documentation: Contribute to technical requirements, design specifications, and unit test documentation.
Who You Are and What You Bring
- Education: BE/BTech/MS/MTech in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
- Experience: 2 to 5 years of professional experience in Embedded C/C++ development.
- Control Logic: Familiarity with implementing control systems, state machines, or algorithmic logic for embedded devices.
- Toolchain Proficiency: Hands-on experience with GCC, GDB, GNU Make, and CMake; version control using Git; and task management via Jira/Confluence.
- Problem Solving: Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and fundamental software design patterns.
- Communication: Exposure to integrating communication protocols such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet is a plus.
- Domain Interest: A basic understanding of (or a strong desire to learn) Solar, Energy Storage, and Power Electronics technologies.
