Embedded Software Manager

We are partnering with a globally recognised Taiwanese technology company in power management. Their research team is developing the next generation of power and cooling technologies for the fast-growing data center sector. You’ll work on early-stage projects with universities, suppliers and customers, turning new ideas into proof-of-concept designs.

Embedded Software Manager

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead a team to design and implement embedded firmware in C/C++ and HDLs on MCUs, DSPs and FPGAs to demonstrate real world performance of novel power and cooling system technologies.

• Develop real-time control loops, PWM generation, ADC sampling, protection, fault handling, calibration, communications and sensor integration.

• Own controller selection, understanding hardware and control requirements to select appropriate controllers.

• Create automated unit and integration tests, supporting HIL/SIL test benches.

• Contribute to system requirements, architecture, code reviews, and documentation.

• Use coding standards and software version control to produce understandable and re-useable software.

• Support design for safety, compliance and reliability.

• Continuously research controller devices and architectures for lab demonstrations and product integration.

• Write research reports, design guides, patents and performance reports.

Requirements:

• PhD or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronic / Control Engineering or related field.

• 8+ years experience in control theory and signal processing with 3 years in a leadership or team-lead role.

• Understanding of common power electronic architectures (AC/DC, DC/AC, DC/DC, etc) and control methods.

• Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink, embedded software (C/C++), and software architecture design.

• Experience defining and setting up controller platforms and code management across multiple projects.

• Solid understanding of microcontroller architectures, sensors, and communication protocols.

• Hands-on prototyping and testing experience using oscilloscopes, electronic loads and power analysers.

• Expertise in using simulation tools to aid the development and assessment of the proposed solution (MATLAB, Simulink, Python, LTspice, etc.)

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, leadership and communication skills.

• Experience planning projects, allocating engineering resource and project status reporting.
