About the position
The position involves evaluating and specifying proper microcontroller units (MCUs) and associated circuitry for module control and communication to meet industry specifications and customer requirements. This will be done in collaboration with module design and verification teams. The role also includes designing and maintaining firmware architecture and Coherent module trunk code, which encompasses proprietary operating systems, module control and communication applications, and device drivers, all aimed at achieving optimal performance and minimizing system costs. Additionally, the candidate will develop solutions for addressing key requirements such as time-critical communications, efficient digital signal processor interfaces, and mission-critical hardware controls. The position requires improving firmware development processes and code management systems to ensure firmware quality control, as well as designing and enhancing the workflow of module firmware configuration mechanisms, regression tests, and production preparation. The candidate will also support marketing, sales, and field application engineers in resolving production and customer field issues.
