  • Proficiency in C/C++ for resource-constrained embedded systems using bare-metal and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
  • Background developing software for battery management, energy storage, power electronics, motor controls, or similar embedded applications.
  • Solid understanding of interrupts, multitasking, threading, synchronization, memory management, and other operating system fundamentals.
  • Familiarity with embedded communication protocols including CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, SPI, I8C, and UART.
  • Skilled in embedded debugging using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and integrated development environments.
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, hardware specifications, and system documentation.
  • Comfortable working with Git, Jira, SonarQube, and modern source control and software quality tools.
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively, mentor engineers, and build strong relationships across technical teams, suppliers, and customers.


What Sets You Apart:
  • Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • Battery Management System (BMS), energy storage, high-voltage battery, or fuel cell development.
  • Familiarity with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
  • Embedded development using ARM Cortex processors, DSPs, or comparable microcontroller architectures.
  • MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, or model-based design tools.
  • Exposure to robotics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or other safety-critical industries.
  • Leadership in Agile software development environments and continuous improvement initiatives.


Where and When You'll Work:
  • This is an in-person role located at our Rochester, New York office-ideal for those who thrive in a hands-on, team-oriented environment.
