Embedded Firmware For Power Electronics

Role overview

you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, architecture, development, and validation of

embedded control platforms for next-generation power electronic systemsincluding DC/DC converters,

inverters, motor drives, battery management systems and EV charging solutions. Bridging hardware

development and real-time embedded firmware implementation, you will drive end-to-end integration,

ensuring robust signal integrity, functional safety Compliance, and deliver robust, production-ready

solutions for Power Electronics in various domains. This role requires hands-on ownership, cross-

functional collaboration, and a commitment to high-performance, scalable embedded design.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop real-time firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers, DSPs, and FPGAs, implementing

control algorithms (PID/state machines, voltage/current regulation), PWM strategies (soft

start/stop, dead-time control), diagnostics, and communication protocols (CAN, SPI, IC, UART).

• Develop low level drivers for controllers.

• Simulate and verify control strategies using MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS; support model-based

design and HIL testing.

• Ensure compliance with IEC, UL, and other relevant safety, regulatory standards, supporting

diagnostics, fault handling and system protection.

• Conduct hardware bring-up, interface testing, and system-level debugging using oscilloscopes,

logic analyzers, JTAG, and power analysers.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (power electronics, mechanical, systems, validation) to

define control architectures, timing constraints, safety-critical behaviours and ensure seamless

hardware-software integration.

• Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including firmware architecture,

test protocols, safety plans, and firmware verification reports

• Support DFM, DFMEA, and HIL testing activities, contributing to design refinement and product

maturity from prototype to production.

• Knowledge of embedded hardware platforms for power electronics systems, including

control boards, analog/digital, mixed-signal interface design, sensor integration, and

protection strategy implementation for DC/DC, AC/DC, and inverter topologies

Required Qualifications

• B.TECH/M.Tech in Embedded Systems, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.

• 10+ years of experience in embedded hardware and firmware development for power electronic

systems in industrial and automotive sectors

• Proficiency in embedded C/C++, real-time control development, real-time system programming,

peripheral configuration and mixed-signal hardware design.

• Strong hands-on experience with microcontrollers and DSPs (e.g., TI C2000, STM32, Infineon),

FPGAs, and communication protocols (CAN, SPI, IC, UART)

• Familiarity with tools like Code Composer Studio (TI), Keil, IAR, STM32Cube.

• Familiarity with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, TI-RTOS), watchdog implementations, fail-safe

architectures, and functional safety diagnostics (ASIL compliance)

• Experience with LAB tools (such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, etc.)

• Exposure to model-based design and simulation environment (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice)

and version control systems (e.g., Git)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-voltage power converters, traction inverters, or motor drive control systems

• Familiarity with model-based development (MIL/SIL/HIL), auto-code generation (e.g., Simulink

Coder), and control validation workflows.

• Understanding of ISO 26262 safety lifecycle, including documentation practices and compliance

support

• Knowledge of secure embedded architectures, firmware modularization, and OTA update

strategies including secure bootloaders

• Strong collaboration, system-level thinking, and documentation skills, with a passion for code

quality and continuous improvement

• Understanding in schematic design, PCB layout practices.

• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation, analog/digital mixed signal interfacing, thermal design, and

high-voltage design practices

• Exposure to cybersecurity principles, diagnostics frameworks, and robust communication stacks

for automotive or industrial systems
