Descrizione del lavoro

IPG Defense, a stand-alone business of IPG Photonics, is seeking a mid-level Software/Firmware Engineer to design and implement embedded control software for laser assemblies in harsh environments. You will focus on ARM-based processing, deterministic control, and low-latency communication to enable real-time power modulation, safety interlocks, and mission reliability.

Junior and senior candidates may be considered.

Competenze

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
3-7 years of experience developing embedded systems or real-time firmware; junior and senior candidates considered at the appropriate level.
Proficiency in C/C++ and experience with STM32 or similar ARM Cortex microcontrollers.
Strong understanding of RTOS concepts, deterministic timing, and hardware-software integration.
Experience with embedded communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, or Ethernet).
Hands-on embedded debugging and board bring-up experience.
Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Mansioni

Design, implement, and validate embedded firmware for laser, thermal, and beam-control subsystems.
Develop deterministic state-machine logic governing interlocks, firing sequences, and subsystem coordination.
Implement and tune digital control loops, including PID and feed-forward control, and validate loop performance using frequency-response analysis.
Create and maintain real-time communication links between embedded controllers and higher-level command software.
Support board bring-up, hardware-software integration, and debugging using lab instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers).
Develop unit and integration tests and contribute to version control and continuous-integration practices for firmware.
Collaborate closely with optical, electrical, and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration across the full directed-energy platform.
Conduct firmware verification, configuration control, and field testing per MIL-STD requirements.
Support documentation, cybersecurity, and sustainment of deployed systems.
