Role Overview:

The Embedded Software Engineer will be responsible for developing and optimising software for microcontroller-based power electronics applications. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in embedded C programming, control loop design, and power converter topologies. This role requires a problem-solver with a strong background in control software for power electronics who can work independently and contribute effectively to system-level design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop embedded software for power converters using C language with a focus on efficiency and reliability.
• Implement software-based control loop design for power electronics applications.
• Work with STM32 and TI C2000 microcontrollers to develop high-performance embedded control solutions.
• Optimise code execution to minimise processing time and ensure fail-safe operation.
• Design and implement control algorithms for various power converter topologies, including Buck, Boost, Resonant, PFC, and Inverter systems.
• Conduct software debugging, validation, and testing to meet performance and reliability requirements.
• Collaborate with hardware designers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware components.
• Provide guidance or perform measurements on control and feedback signals to refine and improve system performance.
• Occasionally participate in on-site system integration activities in the UK (location to be confirmed).

Requirements:

• Experience in embedded C programming.
• Expertise in microcontroller-based power converter design, specifically with STM32 and TI C2000 microcontrollers.
• Strong experience in software-based control loop design for power electronics applications.
• Deep understanding of various power converter topologies and associated control methods.
• Proven ability to optimise software execution time and implement robust fail-safe mechanisms.
• Ability to measure control and feedback signals to fine-tune software or guide electronics designers on improvements.

Preferred Skills:

• Hands-on experience in signal measurement and tuning for control loop optimisation.
• Familiarity with real-time debugging tools and techniques for power electronics applications.
• Experience working in a milestone-driven development environment.

Work Conditions:

• Fully remote work during the design and power-up phases.
• Occasional on-site work in the UK during system integration (location to be confirmed).
