About the role

As a senior embedded systems engineer, you will bring automotive-grade embedded engineering discipline to a greenfield product environment, owning firmware from architecture through production deployment across condition monitoring systems, power electronics, and grid-edge devices. Our integrated model of combining advanced engineering, tight supply-chain control, and exceptional service empowers you to build resilient solutions that restore reliability and control to the operators who keep the world energized.

What you'll do

Design and develop production-grade firmware for asset condition monitoring systems and high-power electronics platforms.
Own schematic review and hardware bring-up i.e. bridging hardware and software from early prototype through field deployment
Drive end-to-end product development cycles including requirements, architecture, implementation, validation, and deployment
Implement and maintain CAN, LIN, Modbus, IEC61850 etc communication stacks as required by system architecture
Apply automotive embedded architecture principles (ISO 26262, AUTOSAR) to power electronics and monitoring applications
Develop FPGA-based control and signal processing pipelines; write low-level peripheral drivers and RTOS application layers
Collaborate with hardware, power electronics, and product teams on system requirements and interface definitions
Participate in design reviews, FMEA, and qualification testing across product lines
