Embedded Software Engineer - Digital Power Supply Design

Outside IR35
Fully Remote (must be UK Based)

Role Overview:

The Embedded Software Engineer will be responsible for developing and optimising software for microcontroller-based power electronics applications. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in embedded C programming, control loop design, and power converter topologies. This role requires a problem-solver with a strong background in control software for power electronics who can work independently and contribute effectively to system-level design.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Develop embedded software for power converters using C language with a focus on efficiency and reliability.
2. Implement software-based control loop design for power electronics applications.
3. Work with STM32 and TI C2000 microcontrollers to develop high-performance embedded control solutions.
4. Optimise code execution to minimise processing time and ensure fail-safe operation.
5. Design and implement control algorithms for various power converter topologies, including Buck, Boost, Resonant, PFC, and Inverter systems.
6. Conduct software debugging, validation, and testing to meet performance and reliability requirements.
7. Collaborate with hardware designers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware components.
8. Provide guidance or perform measurements on control and feedback signals to refine and improve system performance.
9. Occasionally participate in on-site system integration activities in the UK (location to be confirmed).

Requirements:

1. Experience in embedded C programming.
2. Expertise in microcontroller-based power converter design, specifically with STM32 and TI C2000 microcontrollers.
3. Strong experience in software-based control loop design for power electronics applications.
4. Deep understanding of various power converter topologies and associated control methods.
5. Proven ability to optimise software execution time and implement robust fail-safe mechanisms.
6. Ability to measure control and feedback signals to fine-tune software or guide electronics designers on improvements.

Preferred Skills:

1. Hands-on experience in signal measurement and tuning for control loop optimisation.
2. Familiarity with real-time debugging tools and techniques for power electronics applications.
3. Experience working in a milestone-driven development environment.

Work Conditions:

1. Fully remote work during the design and power-up phases.
2. Occasional on-site work in the UK during system integration (location to be confirmed).
