Mentor, Ohio (Commutable from, Willoughby, Eastlake, Painesville, Wickliffe, Euclid, Beachwood, Mayfield Heights, Lyndhurst, Cleveland Heights, Cleveland).

Are you a Firmware Engineer or Embedded Controls Engineer with a background in industrial electronics or power systems, looking to become the technical expert behind advanced industrial power conversion systems used across critical industrial applications worldwide?

This is the perfect opportunity to become the go-to engineer within an R&D team, where your embedded controls expertise will directly influence the performance, reliability, and direction of industrial power conversion systems, whilst progressing into senior engineering responsibilities as your technical ownership and influence grow.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join an industry-leading organization where technical depth is highly valued, and engineers are trusted with full ownership of complex system-level challenges, with the autonomy to drive solutions from concept through to delivery.

In this high impact, technical role, you'll develop embedded C/C++ firmware for SCR and IGBT-based power conversion systems, implementing real-time control algorithms, diagnostics and protection features. Working directly with microcontrollers, DSPs and production hardware, you'll carry out hands‑on testing, debugging and validation using laboratory equipment while collaborating closely with hardware engineers throughout the full product development lifecycle.

This role would suit an Embedded Controls Engineer with experience developing C/C++ firmware for real‑time embedded systems, looking to become a recognised technical specialist within industrial power electronics, and progress into a Senior Embedded Controls Engineer.

The Role:

• Develop embedded C/C++ firmware for industrial power electronics.
• Implement real‑time control algorithms, diagnostics and protection features.
• Test, validate and debug embedded systems.

The Candidate:

• Embedded C/C++ firmware development experience.
• Power Electronics or Power Generation experience.
• RTOS, microcontroller or DSP experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer or Electronics Engineering.

The salary advertised is the bracket available for this position. The actual salary paid will be dependent on your level of experience, qualifications and skill set. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
