Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced Firmware Engineer with 10 years of expertise in embedded systems design and development. The candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating firmware solutions for advanced hardware platforms, including high-performance microcontrollers and FPGA-based systems. Prior experience in gantry system development is mandatory.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded firmware for high-performance microcontrollers such asSTM32H573IIT3Q (176-LQFP package)
• Strong understanding and review of hardware schematics and PCB layouts, and multi-layer board design
• Manage multi-voltage power domains, analog subsystems (ADCs/DACs), and signal integrity considerations
• Develop and optimize firmware in C/C , including low-level drivers and hardware abstraction layers
• Configure and integrate RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS) for real-time system applications
• Implement and optimize advanced mathematical algorithms using FPU and DSP instructions
• Interface and integrate with high-speed peripherals such as:
• OctoSPI
• Ethernet MAC
• USB-C
• Collaborate with FPGA teams for system-level integration and co-design
• Define, implement, and troubleshoot communication protocols and interfaces
• Ensure system reliability through testing, debugging, and validation
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, systems, and software engineering
  

Required Qualifications

• 10 years of experience in firmware/embedded systems development
• Strong expertise in:
• Embedded C/C programming
