About The Position

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team in the design & implementation of the GridBridge products. This individual would work closely with Power Electronics HW, DSP Engineers, and other R&D personnel. This position requires embedded software engineering skills in the implementation of embedded software with control of hardware and intra-process communications. The platform software is based on a Yocto build of embedded Linux running on an iMX8 processor. Additional bare metal development on an STM32 platform is needed. The GridBridge team operates in a non-hierarchical manner, achieving great success in our team centric approach to development. Our working environment is still structured like a fast-paced start-up.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in embedded software development.
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
Experience with embedded Linux (Yocto preferred) and shell scripting (e.g., JavaScript, Python).
Strong understanding of communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, LTE).
Familiarity with debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, oscilloscopes) and version control (e.g., Git).
Excellent documentation and communication skills.
Ability to work independently in a startup-like environment.

Nice To Haves

Background in Smart Grid or utility product development.
Prior experience in small teams or startup environments.
Education in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering (advanced degrees or relevant minors a plus).
Working knowledge of protocol stacks (DNP3, OpenADR, Modbus, and OCPP)
JavaScript and REACT for user interface design
MQTT for intra-process communications
Experience with Docker is a plus
Development of IoT solutions using AWS or similar
System testing, Manufacturing diagnostics, built in test/diagnostics (PBIT, IBIT, CBIT)
Deployment and customer support
SCADA or other utility standards experience
Experience using a Requirement Management Tool (RQM) (e.g. DOORS, Visure, etc) for the purpose of tracking and traceability of requirements from product to design and test cases.
Working with functional safety compliance processes (e.g. IEC 61508 and/or IEC 60730-1) to meet the certification process and all supporting documentation for certification.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of embedded software on Yocto-based Linux (iMX ARM platform).
Design, development, and maintenance of bare metal embedded software on a STM32 microprocessor.
Develop and support embedded C/C++ code for controller cards, including integration with peripherals (CAN, RS232, USB, SPI, I2C, A/D, D/A).
Collaborate with hardware and DSP engineers throughout the product lifecycle.
Implement and maintain coding standards, documentation, and version control practices.
Design and integrate system-level software for control, UI, cloud connectivity, and communication protocols.
Port and integrate protocol stacks (e.g., OpenDNP3) and interface with customer systems.
Support system testing, manufacturing diagnostics, and deployment activities.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes
