Job Title - Control software engineer (embedded).

We are looking for a Control software engineer (embedded).

Role:

• Developing advanced control solutions for electrical energy systems, power converters, and industrial drives.
• In this role, you will work at the intersection of embedded software development, power engineering, power electronics and control systems.

Qualifications:

We are looking for a person with a combination of the two following expertise areas.

Knowledge / experience in both categories is mandatory, but the position is also suitable for a freshly graduated person when the background matches.

1) Knowledge of embedded software engineering

a. Must have:

• Experience in C, C++, Python
• Knowledge of Git version control
• Basic understanding of SW testing methods

b. Seen as an asset:

• Experience in unit testing, HIL testing, continuous integration
• Knowledge of Azure DevOps, Jenkins, static code analysis
• Embedded SW development in large organizations with multiple teams

2) Knowledge of control engineering in the context of electrical power engineering

a. Must have:

• Knowledge of some of the following application areas: Power conversion, Solar power systems, Battery energy storage systems, Wind power applications, Microgrids and smart grids
• Understanding of concepts such as inverters, rectifiers, DC/DC converters and switching power supplies
• Experience in designing control loops, stability and dynamic performance analysis, and understanding feedback and feedforward control principles
• Understanding of how power converters are controlled in practice
• Understanding of the measurements and feedback signals required for converter control
• Knowledge of typical control loops used in power electronic systems (e.g. current, voltage and power control loops)
• Ability to work at the interface of embedded software and power electronics

b. Seen as an asset:

• Experience in developing and tuning control algorithms for power electronic converters
• Educational background in Electrical Power Engineering, Power Electronics, Energy Systems or Control Engineering

Important:

• The experience should be directly related to power electronics and converter control.
