Remote Senior Real-Time Control Software Engineer

Intellisync; Town of Italy (NY); Hybrid; EUR 80,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

BaxEnergy is seeking a Senior Real-Time Control Software Engineer to implement and optimize deterministic real-time software for our CPPC platform, ensuring low latency and robust behavior under real grid conditions. The role is fully remote, with collaboration across distributed teams and tight hardware integration.

You will translate control algorithms into production-grade real-time code, work closely with control engineers, and contribute to safety-critical software standards.

Qualifications

• 6–10+ years of experience in industrial real‑time software development.
• Strong experience with real‑time programming in C/C++ and IEC 61131-3.
• Hands‑on experience with RT‑Linux or industrial PLC platforms such as Beckhoff, Codesys.
• Direct experience with field controllers, not purely IT systems.
• Understand scheduling, determinism, jitter, and latency — and know how to debug them in practice.
• Able to work with globally distributed teams, with at least a 4‑hour overlap with CET/CEST.
• Eligible to obtain a visa and able to travel to Italy within three months of hiring.

Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize real‑time control loops for active/reactive power, voltage, and frequency (P/Q/V/f) regulation.
• Develop FFR logic, ramping, smoothing, and transient response handling for grid‑connected systems.
• Manage task scheduling, priorities, and jitter to meet strict latency and determinism requirements.
• Optimize CPU utilization, I/O handling, and communication latency.
• Collaborate closely with Control Engineers to translate control algorithms into robust real‑time implementations.
• Debug, profile, and stabilize real‑time behavior under realistic and stressed grid scenarios.
• Contribute to coding standards and best practices for safety and performance‑critical software.
