Lead Engineer - Embedded SW Development

About this role

Job Description Summary Responsible for designing, developing, and validating embedded firmware for the wind turbine pitch system, which includes control boards, motor drive control, and backup charging systems tailored to the product platform. This role supports high-quality, reliable system performance and contributes to team success through requirements development, code reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering processes and ways of working. Job Description Roles and Responsibilities Architect, design, and develop embedded firmware for the wind turbine pitch control system, including control boards, motor drive systems, and backup charging systems

Design and implement robust control solutions for AC and DC motors, closed-loop control systems, and embedded communications interfaces such as UART/serial, SPI, and I2C. Write, compile, test, and debug firmware throughout the full product development lifecycle, from concept through validation and release. Develop, maintain, and use simulation models of the pitch system integrated with the full wind turbine to validate system behavior before deployment of hardware

Apply strong systems knowledge in motor controls, batteries, ultracapacitors, and electrical design, with an understanding of the interactions between position, speed, and current in complex electromechanical systems. Analyze and interpret electrical schematics, hardware interfaces, and control system behavior to support development and root cause investigations. Perform hands-on hardware debugging and validation in a high-voltage laboratory environment using equipment such as digital multimeters and oscilloscopes, while adhering to all safety protocols

Lead or support validation testing of control software and hardware, including issue debugging, failure reproduction, and investigation of field-reported events. Review product requirements and technical specifications to ensure they are complete, clear, and testable, and provide recommendations th
