ITW Welding continues to build its capabilities in software development as a core competency in digitally controlled welding equipment, processes, and systems. To support this effort, we are seeking an experienced embedded software engineer to be a key driver of developing software for new product development efforts to provide increased customer satisfaction in several areas of our products. The Sr. Firmware Engineer position will require a highly motivated individual with strong communication and interpersonal skills to work collaboratively with engineering teams, marketing, and product management to improve the maintainability of our existing solutions while developing innovative and reliable products to serve our customer needs. The right candidate will bring a foundation of embedded software experience, a shared vision of component-based, modular design, and a proven record of accomplishments working with teams as a contributor and collaborator. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: Primary responsibilities include the design, development, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation of embedded software for various hardware platforms to support new product development initiatives and existing products. Create efficient, reliable, and maintainable C/C++ code to control hardware devices, implement algorithms, and handle real-time operations. A critical part of this role is integrating embedded controls to achieve arc characteristics that continue delivering world-class arc welding performance. Strategically identify opportunities to improve code reuse within Miller by refactoring existing solutions to expand unit test coverage. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (including software verification, power electronics and welding), project managers, and product managers to specify, design, develop, and support new product initiatives. Stay updated with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices in embedded systems development to incorporate new techniques and tools into the software development process. Participate in code and design reviews, leveraging your expertise to guide the team towards our long-term software vision. Identify areas for process improvement, propose innovative solutions, and contribute to the enhancement of software development methodologies and practices within the team. Prioritize tasks, manage timelines, and effectively communicate progress and challenges to meet project deadlines and deliverables.
