Senior Embedded SW Engineer

• Development of embedded and real-time software architectures for MW-scale converters/inverters.
  


• Definition of software architecture, task scheduling, and interfaces for converter/inverter control platforms.
  


• Implementation of control algorithms (inner current loops, outer voltage and power functions) in close collaboration with control engineering.
  


• Support definition of converter/inverter topology, control realisation, and system integration approach for the company’s new products.
  


• Implementation of state machines, fault handling, protection mechanisms, and diagnostics.
  


• Optimization of software for real-time performance, determinism, numerical robustness, and reliability.
  


• Implementation and maintenance of communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet, SPI, UART).
  


• Support of grid code requirements (LVRT/HVRT, fault ride-through, reactive power support) through software implementation.
  


• Validation through SIL, HIL, and support during prototype bring-up, commissioning, and field testing.
  


• Close collaboration with system, control, hardware, and test teams to optimize performance, robustness, and scalability.
  

• Provides technical mentorship to junior software engineers and supports growth of the software engineering team.
  


• Defines software interfaces and integration concepts with embedded hardware platforms.
  


• Contributes to intellectual property creation (patents, technical disclosures).
