About the Role
This position is within the core Engineering R&D group focused on our Solid-State Transformer (SST) platform. The team defines and delivers the embedded Linux platform architecture for next-generation grid-scale energy conversion systems, focusing on power density, reliability, and intelligent control. We seek a technically deep systems thinker to set architectural direction, drive it to silicon, and grow a team.
Responsibilities
- Define and own an AI-forward embedded Linux platform architecture for SST power systems, including BSP strategy, boot architecture, and OS configuration.
- Establish system software frameworks for real-time control integration, inter-process communication, and fault management across complex multi-board and multi-domain architectures.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate architecture documentation, code review, and root-cause analysis, establishing team norms for AI assistance.
- Partner closely with hardware, power electronics, and control engineers to co-define hardware/software boundaries, peripheral interfaces, and system bring-up strategies.
- Drive platform reuse and scalability across product generations by establishing reference architectures, board support layers, and software build systems.
- Lead architectural reviews, set coding and integration standards, and own key technology decisions from concept through product launch.
- Manage and mentor a small team of embedded software engineers, contributing to hiring, technical growth, and team structure.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including systems validation, product engineering, and manufacturing to support DVT, factory test, and field quality loops.
Requirements
- B.E./B.Tech or M.S./M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- B.E. with 15+ years or M.S. with 12+ years of embedded systems experience in a product development environment.
- Deep hands-on experience with embedded Linux, including build systems, BSP development, device tree, and kernel configuration.
- Strong systems architecture instincts, comfortable with SoC selection, memory map, boot sequence, and OS partitioning decisions.
- Experience with high-reliability or safety-relevant embedded systems; familiarity with IEC or UL standards for industrial or power electronics products is a plus.
- Solid understanding of hardware/software co-design, including reading schematics, hardware bring-up, and owning driver development for custom peripherals.
- Experience integrating real-time control loops with a Linux application processor.
- Track record of shipping products from architecture definition through manufacturing release and field support.
- Proficiency in AI-forward code development in applicable languages (C, C++, Python).
- Experience with software configuration management, CI/CD pipelines, and Atlassian tooling (Jira, Confluence).
- Demonstrated ability to lead engineers technically, setting direction, conducting reviews, and building team capability.
- Experience with power conversion systems, energy storage, or grid-connected equipment is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with secure boot, OTA update mechanisms, and embedded cybersecurity considerations is a plus.
- Experience with CAN, Modbus, EtherCAT, or other industrial communication protocols is a plus.
