Job Title: Firmware Engineer (Embedded Systems) Experience: 3–5 Years Location: Chennai Employment Type: Full-time Industry: Electronics / Automotive / Industrial Automation / Consumer Electronics Reporting To: Embedded Systems Manager / Technical Lead Job Summary: We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Firmware Engineer with 3–5 years of experience in embedded systems. The candidate should have hands-on experience in embedded C programming, device drivers, and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART). A strong understanding of schematics, debugging techniques, and motor control (BLDC) is essential. Experience working with compilers, oscilloscopes, and hardware tools is also required. Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and test firmware for embedded systems using C. Develop and integrate low-level device drivers for microcontroller peripherals. Implement and debug communication protocols : I2C, SPI, CAN, UART (RS232/485). Work on motor control algorithms and BLDC motor programming (sensor/sensorless). Analyze and interpret electronic schematics to assist with hardware/software integration. Perform system-level debugging using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters. Use embedded development toolchains and compilers for firmware builds and deployment. Identify, isolate, and fix bugs in firmware and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and test engineering teams. Document design, implementation, and testing procedures clearly. Required Skills and Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering. 3–5 years of embedded C programming experience. Proficient in developing firmware for microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, PIC, NXP, TI). Strong understanding of I2C, SPI, CAN, UART (RS232/485) protocols. Hands-on experience with BLDC motor control and related firmware. Excellent schematic reading and circuit-level debugging capabilities. Familiar with compilers, IDEs (e.g., Keil, IAR, MPLAB, STM32CubeIDE), and build systems. Experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debugging tools (JTAG/SWD). Comfortable working in a lab environment and handling hardware safely. Preferred Skills (Nice to Have): Experience with RTOS-based development (FreeRTOS, etc.). Knowledge of safety-critical standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508). Experience with scripting for automation (Python, Bash). Basic understanding of EMC/EMI mitigation techniques. Exposure to control systems or MATLAB/Simulink. If you are interested drop your CV at jobs@quantumpulse.ltd Show more Show less
