Software Engineer (Firmware)

As a Software Engineer specializing in firmware, you will design and implement the firmware that drives our advanced motor control systems. You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, optimizing performance and ensuring safety and efficiency in our EV powertrains. Your responsibilities will include firmware architecture and development, BSP and driver configuration, algorithm implementation, system optimization, testing and validation, cross-functional integration, and documentation.

Design, implement, and maintain highly deterministic embedded firmware for advanced EV motor control systems operating in bare-metal and RTOS environments.

Configure and optimize vendor Board Support Packages (BSPs) and write low-level hardware drivers to ensure optimal performance of application software.
