Firmware Embedded Designer (m/w/d)

The FAST GmbH is a subsidiary company of Groupe Claire, a leading provider of technology in the worldwide water industry. We are the worldwide supplier of water leak detection devices, including data collection and software solutions. The FAST GmbH is located in Langenbrettach Germany, with more than 50 employees. For its R&D department, we are looking for an Embedded Firmware Designer. Although the company is 35+ years of age, the design team is working in a startup mode; all ideas to get to the objective quickly are welcome, working quickly with our peers designers to bring solutions to our customers.

Tasks

Your tasks won't surprise you; these are typical embedded designer activities. Here are some guidance on the technical specifics that matter for the success of your integration:

• Implementing FW-components and developing the communication interfaces and protocols.
• Competences and/or a prior successful implementation with the communication protocol LTE CatM1 and NB1, Lora and Lorawan is a plus.
• Low power design coding principles, efficient communication protocols: most of our products are with non-rechargeable battery packs.
• Complete overview of the product architecture and the system architecture, working together with the hardware team, software (cloud and tablet) teams.
• Reviewing and implementing protocols defined by external partners.

Requirements

We are looking for a designer prepared to have a low level of processes to allow maximum velocity in the implementation of the requests coming from our customers. For that purpose, you should be independent in:

• Electronic schematic understanding.
• Battery-powered and embedded applications.
• Prior experience in developing electronic products (ideally of battery-operated mass-produced products) within project environments.
• Design of communication protocol in C with data structure and presentation for communication protocol, coding on STM32, Atmel 16bits, ARM processors, coding of drivers, coding of applications.
• Ability to create small PC software tools to debug products (C++, C#, Python...).
• Ability to create scripts for testing purposes.

Benefits

Additionally, for the most passionate of us who are interested in many fields of product development, there are opportunities to work on products as well as on their related software tools, on automation, on product quality and improvement, on test benches. You will be located in a building next to the factory where you will experience the implementation and deployment aspects of the mass production of products.

We are currently renovating all office space and lab spaces to allow further extensions.

Opportunity to work with international designers and inside a growing design group within the group "Claire-Connect": various location design centers, sharing knowledge, design collaboration.

Profiles with multi competencies (HW, FW, SW) will have the opportunity to exercise their competencies in all design domains.

The work is 100% on-site due to work required on embedded products, and mostly to get the reactivities between each designer.
