In short
Firmware Lead specializing in FPGA-based motion control systems. Develop and implement firmware for high-performance systems, design RTL modules, and optimize control algorithms. Requires 10+ years of experience in embedded firmware development and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent.
Responsibilities
- Develop and implement FPGA/processor firmware for high-performance motion control systems.
- Contribute to firmware architecture, FPGA partitioning, and real-time control implementation.
- Design, develop, and review RTL modules using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
- Implement high-speed PWM generation, current control loops, and encoder/resolver interfaces.
- Develop ADC/DAC acquisition logic, manage multi-clock domain designs, and support FPGA implementation.
- Develop and optimize Field-Oriented Control (FOC), torque, speed, and position control algorithms.
- Optimize fixed-point arithmetic and firmware performance for deterministic real-time control.
- Develop and integrate FPGA-based industrial communication interfaces (IO-Link, EtherCAT, PROFINET, CANopen).
- Implement and verify firmware safety features in compliance with functional safety requirements.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers on current sensing, gate drivers, ADC timing, PCB bring-up, and EMI/EMC considerations.
- Support board bring-up, debugging, system integration, validation, and performance optimization.
- Participate in firmware architecture discussions, technical reviews, and code reviews.
- Follow and promote firmware development standards, coding guidelines, and engineering best practices.
- Mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and support knowledge sharing.
Requirements
