We are seeking a proficient Firmware Engineer that will develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control and real-time embedded systems. Key responsibilities include implementing control algorithms, debugging communication protocols, and integrating firmware with frameworks like ROS, while collaborating with hardware teams to ensure system performance.  Responsibilities: Develop and optimize firmware for BLDC motor control, including advanced control algorithms and system identification. Design, debug, and integrate low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, UART, and SPI. Implement and maintain real-time systems using RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, RT Linux, VxWorks). Collaborate with hardware engineers to design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systems. Integrate firmware into higher-level communication frameworks, such as DDS (Distributed Data Service), e.g., ROS. Test, validate, and debug firmware systems in the lab. Document firmware design processes and contribute to best practices. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics. Hands-on experience in firmware development for robotics, motor control, or embedded systems. Expertise in BLDC motor control, including FOC (Field-Oriented Control), PWM, and current/position control techniques. Proficiency in low-level communication protocols such as RS-485, CAN, and SPI.
