About The Opportunity

Our client, a leader in the Energy Storage industry, is looking for a skilled

Embedded Engineer

to join their team for a Full-time engagement. This project involves developing and implementing real-time, high-performance firmware for advanced energy storage systems, with a strong focus on functional safety and reliability. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities \& Deliverables

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

• Design and implement real-time, C\+\+, RTOS-based firmware targeting microcontrollers.
• Understand, code, and use microcontroller hardware to meet functional safety requirements.
• Create firmware for embedded prototypes to validate hardware design choices and accelerate firmware development.
• Verify and support the integration of your code.
