Job summary

Sol-Ark is seeking a skilled Firmware Engineer to design and develop real-time control firmware for power inverters. You will work with TI C2000 DSCs and collaborate with hardware engineers to implement control loops and ensure reliability.

The role emphasizes hands-on development, debugging with JTAG, and optimizing firmware for performance and safety. Based in our Allen, TX campus, this on-site position offers a competitive pay and comprehensive benefits package.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development for power electronics.
• Proven experience programming TI C2000 DSCs using Code Composer Studio (CCS) and C2000Ware.
• Deep understanding of power inverter operations, switching topologies, and digital control theory.
• Experience utilizing the C2000 Control Law Accelerator (CLA) or TMU for parallel processing.

Responsibilities

• Firmware Development: Write clean, optimized C/C++ firmware for TI C2000 microcontrollers (e.g., F2837x, F28004x, F2838x).
• Control Implementation: Code real-time digital control loops (PI/PR controllers, SVPWM, grid synchronization PLLs) for power inverter topologies.
• Peripheral Configuration: Configure C2000-specific peripherals including high-resolution PWMs (ePWM), fast ADCs, eCAP, and eQEP.
• Driver Architecture: Develop low-level drivers and protocols for communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART.
• Testing & Debugging: Utilize JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power supplies to test and validate firmware on physical hardware.
• Safety & Protection: Implement time-critical fault detection and protection routines to safeguard hardware components against over-current and over-voltage.
