• Define and execute the firmware technology roadmap including embedded architectures, software/firmware stack modernization, and edge AI/ML.

• Drive Agile or Stage-Gate processes for firmware deliverables, ensuring they meet cost, performance, reliability, safety, cybersecurity, and time-to-market targets.

• Lead firmware design reviews, technical risk assessments, code quality audits, and failure mode analysis specific to embedded systems.

• Coach and mentor a team to adopt AI development practices to improve quality and efficiency.

• Identify and incorporate emerging firmware technologies to enhance product differentiation and digital connectivity.

Collaboration & Project Execution

• Ensure strong, proactive collaboration with hardware engineering, systems engineering, test/validation, mechanical, and compliance teams to deliver fully integrated final distribution solutions.

• Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders (product management, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, supply chain, and marketing) to resolve firmware-related issues and support end-to-end product launches.

• Contribute to obsolescence management, component selection, and long-term support strategies for both new and products in the installed base.

Compliance, Quality & Sustainability

• Ensure all firmware designs comply with North American and international standards (UL, NEC, IEC, cybersecurity requirements).

• Support reliability, environmental, functional safety, and cybersecurity testing through close coordination with verification and validation resources.

• Champion sustainable firmware practices, such as optimized code for lower power consumption and extended product life in energy management applications.

Qualifications

Required

• Candidate must currently be based in the United States of America

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (Master's preferred).

• 10+ years of experience in embedded firmware development.

• 5+ years of direct people-management experience leading firmware/embedded software engineering teams in a regulated product development environment.

• Proven success delivering complex firmware from concept to production in safety-critical or power electronics applications.

• Deep expertise in C/C++ for embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS such as FreeRTOS, ThreadX), bare-metal development, and microcontroller architectures (ARM Cortex-M, STM32 or equivalent).

Preferred

• Strong knowledge of relevant industry standards, safety certifications, communication protocols (Modbus, Ethernet/IP, BACnet, wireless), and cybersecurity best practices for connected devices.

• Background in smart/IoT-enabled power devices, digital energy management, or EcoStruxure-like platforms.

• Experience in matrix or cross-functional project environments where firmware must integrate tightly with hardware and systems teams. •

• Six Sigma, Lean Product Development, Stage-Gate, or Agile/Scrum experience.

Technical Tools and Experience

• Embedded Development: C/C++, ARM-based toolchains (Keil, IAR, GCC), debuggers (JTAG, SWD), and logic analyzers/oscilloscopes for real-time debugging.

• RTOS & Protocols: Experience with real-time operating systems, device drivers, and industrial communication stacks.

• Testing & CI/CD: Automated testing frameworks, unit/integration testing, continuous integration tools for embedded systems.

• Simulation & Analysis: MATLAB/Simulink (for algorithm modeling), power system simulation, or equivalent.

• Project & Collaboration Tools: Jira, Git, Confluence, Microsoft Project or equivalent.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and cross-functional collaboration platforms.

What Success Looks Like

• High-quality, on-time firmware deliverables that enable successful product launches and meet performance, reliability, and cybersecurity targets.

• Strong collaboration across hardware, systems, and test functions, resulting in integrated solutions with minimal integration or field issues.
