Senior Embedded Platform Engineer

Role Summary

Were seeking a Senior Platform/Real-Time Embedded Firmware Engineer with strong low-level

embedded software expertise and a passion for building robust, deterministic firmware for

safety-critical control systems. This role focuses on the real-time firmware foundation that

enables actuators, motor drives, BMS, sensors, and vehicle-level systems to operate reliably.

You will architect, implement, and maintain firmware across real-time microcontroller platforms,

owning BSPs, drivers, RTOS/bare-metal execution, timing, peripheral interfaces, diagnostics

hooks, and hardware bring-up. This role works closely with embedded systems, motor control,

BMS, and vehicle control software engineers to ensure the platform layer is reliable, reusable,

and deterministic.

Key Responsibilities:

Real-Time Firmware Architecture

Design and maintain real-time firmware architecture for safety-critical embedded control

platforms. Own timing-sensitive firmware layers, interrupt structure, task scheduling, execution

order, and deterministic data flow between hardware, drivers, middleware, and application

software.

Develop firmware frameworks that support reusable control execution, communication,

diagnostics, monitoring, and system integration across multiple projects.

MCU, BSP & Driver Development

Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ on real-time microcontroller platforms such

as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs.

Own board support packages, peripheral initialization, device configuration, and low-level

hardware abstraction layers. Develop and debug drivers for peripherals and interfaces such as

CAN, SPI, Ethernet, ADC, PWM, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, and other MCU peripherals.

Hardware Interfaces & Bring-Up

Support hardware bring-up, board validation, and low-level debugging across software and

hardware boundaries. Diagnose issues involving MCU configuration, clocks, interrupts,

peripherals, sensors, motor drive interfaces, BMS interfaces, and communication links.

Work closely with electrical, controls, and systems teams to ensure the embedded firmware

correctly supports actuator control, power electronics, sensors, and vehicle-level hardware.

Communication & Diagnostics Infrastructure

Implement robust embedded communication infrastructure for protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI, Ethernet, ARINC 825, and other aerospace or automotive buses.

Support reliable data exchange, message timing, arbitration, diagnostics, fault detection, and recovery behavior at the firmware/platform level.

Integration, Test & Tooling

Support integration with motor control, BMS, sensors, and vehicle control software. Develop test

hooks, debug interfaces, logging mechanisms, automation support, and data collection tools for

lab validation, HIL testing, and system debugging.

Support SIL/HIL environments where firmware interfaces, drivers, and platform behavior need

to be validated.

Safety, Process & Lifecycle Support

Support safety-critical embedded software development by following disciplined software

development processes. Contribute to requirements, traceability, verification planning,

configuration control, and certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO

178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO 26262 concepts, or equivalent safety frameworks.
