Our client in the EV/AV space is urgently looking for a Sr. Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong experience in C/C++, RTOS, and communication protocols like UART, SPI, and I2C to add to their growing team in Irvine. The Firmware Designer is responsible for designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining firmware for embedded systems. This role requires a deep understanding of both hardware and software to ensure that the firmware effectively controls hardware components and performs as required. The Firmware Designer will work closely with hardware engineers, software developers, and other team members to create reliable and efficient firmware solutions. The responsibilities of the Firmware Designer include firmware development, where they will design and develop firmware for embedded systems based on system requirements and specifications. They will write and optimize code in low-level programming languages such as C, C++, or assembly, implement and test firmware features to ensure they meet design specifications and performance criteria, and develop test suites for verification while automating test cases. In terms of hardware integration, the Firmware Designer will collaborate with hardware engineers to understand hardware architecture and ensure firmware effectively interfaces with hardware components. They will also debug and troubleshoot issues related to hardware and firmware interaction. For testing and validation, the Firmware Designer will develop and execute test plans to validate firmware functionality and performance, perform unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing to identify and resolve issues, and analyze and address bugs and performance issues, making necessary adjustments to improve firmware quality. Documentation and reporting are also key aspects of this role, as the Firmware Designer will create and maintain detailed documentation for firmware design, development processes, and testing procedures, while providing regular updates and reports on project status, including any issues, risks, and resolutions. Continuous improvement is essential, and the Firmware Designer is expected to stay current with advancements in firmware development technologies and best practices, identifying areas for improvement in existing firmware and proposing solutions to enhance functionality and efficiency. Collaboration and communication are vital, as the Firmware Designer will work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, software developers, and product managers, to ensure successful integration of firmware with other system components. They will participate in design reviews, code reviews, and team meetings to contribute to project planning and execution.
