About the client:

The product of our client is focused solely on electric vehicles (EVs) charging and their established business model has been validated by more than a decade in business and thousands of customers.

With EVs expected to be nearly 30% of new vehicle sales by 2027 and more than 50% by 2040, electric mobility is becoming a reality, the product is at the center of this revolution, powering one of the world’s leading EV charging networks and a comprehensive set of hardware, software, and mobile solutions for every charging need. It brings together drivers, businesses, automakers, policymakers, utilities, and other stakeholders to make e-mobility a global reality.

Join the team that is building the EV charging industry and make your mark on how people and goods will get everywhere they need to go, in any context, for generations to come.

Responsibilities:

Design and implement embedded control systems for components such as PFCs, chargers, DC/DC converters, and inverters.
Perform board bring-up and develop device drivers for communication protocols like CAN, I2C, and SPI.
Contribute to the creation of technical specifications, participate in design reviews, and carry out unit testing.
Validate design concepts through a combination of simulations and hands-on lab testing.
(Preferred) Develop automated test cases for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) modeling and testing.
Stay current with emerging technologies in digital control and controller systems.
Write efficient, real-time, interrupt-driven embedded code.
Read and interpret circuit schematics and troubleshoot hardware-related issues effectively.
Understand and consider safety regulations relevant to power converters used in fast-charging applications.

Required Skills:

5+ years of experience in the development of power electronics products.
Extensive hands-on programming expertise in C/C++ and Assembly for 32-bit microcontrollers and DSPs, as well as Python for scripting and automation tasks.
Strong background in embedded firmware development for real-time systems using C/C++.
In-depth knowledge of power electronics concepts, including control strategies for inverters, rectifiers, and DC-DC converters such as LLC, CLLC, and DAB topologies.
