• Manage software version control and implement CI/CD testing/releasing methodology
• Establish and continuously improve embedded software development process by following standardized methods, such as SPICE, CMMI
• Trouble-shoot complex systems from a hardware and software perspective
• Prepare technical documents, including component/system requirement and design documents, test plan/matrix and test report, and engage in the formal change management process
• Lead on technology innovation and continuous improvement in system controls engineering
• Under the direction of the Controls Engineering Manager, work within crossfunctional teams with the implementation of systems engineering processes, which may include cross-functional reviews of requirements and documenting specifications
• Other duties as occasionally required by management

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor's and Master's degree (preferred) in Mechatronics, EE, computer engineering, or related field
• A minimum of 8 years of experience in industrial-level embedded software development
• Programming skills: C/C++/Matlab/Simulink, scripting languages
• Experience with formal software version control (Git/SVN) and release/configuration management
• In-depth understanding and work experience in signal processing/filtering/FFT/Sampling, logic state machine and advanced control algorithms for complex dynamic systems
• Work experience with software architecture, HW driver/stack function development and application algorithm design for embedded system
• Intensive knowledge of uC, RTO, operating system, task management, memory management
• Experience commissioning, tuning, and troubleshooting control systems
