About the Role

Own the microcontroller firmware that directly controls Base's power hardware, including batteries, inverters, and disconnect systems. Write bare-metal and RTOS software for control logic, state machines, fault handling, drivers, BSP/HAL, and peripheral configuration. Lead new board bring-ups, build reusable firmware libraries, and partner with hardware and power electronics engineers. Design deterministic real-time control and protection within timing budgets, own device communications over CAN, and deploy firmware across a growing fleet.

Responsibilities

Own the business logic running on Base's microcontrollers: state machines, control and sequencing logic, fault handling, and safety coordination for batteries, inverters, and disconnect systems.
Lead new hardware bring-up end to end, from peripheral configuration and driver development through BSP/HAL integration.
Implement and tune deterministic real-time control and protection on multi-core MCUs, partitioning work across cores and staying within hard ISR timing and jitter budgets.
Build and maintain the device communications stack, including CAN/CAN-FD drivers, buffering, and transport reliability, plus higher-level protocols and firmware-update flows.
Serve as the primary software interface to Hardware Engineering, participating in schematic reviews, processor and peripheral selection, pin assignments, timing, and debugging HW/SW integration issues.
Build reusable firmware libraries and coding standards to expedite new product shipping.
Take new products from prototype through production firmware and into the field, utilizing hardware-in-the-loop testing and crash dumps to reduce field-reported firmware issues.

Requirements

Hands-on experience shipping bare-metal and/or RTOS firmware on modern microcontrollers (e.g. ARM Cortex-M), including taking one or more products to manufacturing.
Deep expertise in C/C++: clean, modular, defensive code, with a solid grasp of memory management, ISR-safe patterns, and compiler and runtime behavior.
Comfort reading schematics and datasheets and working directly with hardware and power electronics engineers to make sound design and processor-selection tradeoffs.
Strong instincts for firmware architecture: clean separation of responsibilities, minimal shared state, observability built in from the start, and designs that roll out safely and fail predictably.
A first-principles mindset, a track record of finding the simplest solution to hard embedded problems, and root-cause debugging skills that reach all the way down to the hardware.
