What they're looking for

  • Writing firmware in C for STM32 microcontrollers, particularly but not limited to motor controllers
  • End to end development: derive requirements, design/architect to satisfy requirements, implementation and verification
  • Bringing up new hardware and debugging issues alongside motor-control and electrical engineers
  • Support mechanical team with new actuator design and verification
  • Example real task: Diagnosing why an Ethernet PHY reports CRC errors by analyzing R MII clock timing with an oscilloscope, reading the PHY datasheet, and identifying a board design issue
