Job description

Astrodyne TDI is looking for an Embedded Firmware Engineer with an EE or CS background that is interested in embedded FW and HW design.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as an individual firmware\software contributor for 16\32bit microcontrollers.
• Writing firmware in “C” for bare-metal applications.
• Understand board level schematics for internally designed embedded controllers.
• Debugging with in-circuit debuggers, logic analyzers, UART terminals, signal toggles.
• Hands on lab troubleshooting with the power engineering team for system level debug.
• Assisting operations, production, and quality with power supply development and troubleshooting.
• Carry out and document system design verification, system characterization and validation testing.
• Prepare status reports and presentations for both internal and external company use.

Requirements

• A B.S.E in Electrical Engineering, B.S in Computer Science, or pertinent experience is required.
• A minimum of 1+ years’ of hands-on experience developing and troubleshooting hardware or software (preferably both, could be hobbyist work).
• Knowledge of microcontroller hardware\ system on chip (SoC) peripherals and how to configure and make use of them in our designs.
• Experience with common embedded communication protocols such as CAN, TCP/IP, USB, SPI, I2C, & UART in a real time environment.
• Experience with “Git” or any source control repository systems is a plus.
• Hands-on bread boarding skills and circuit prototyping skills.
