Firmware Engineer

Description:

In this role, you will be writing code for SparkCharge's production power converters and battery management systems. In parallel, we are prototyping various new products. This will include bootloaders, linux drivers and applications, device tree and kernel modifications, custom root filesystems, continuous integration, charging protocols, and everything from flipping bits in a CAN message to offloading matlab code into a resource limited ARM to shipping binaries down from a cloud and into a remotely located device. Most of our code is in c and c++, but expect some python. Since we're using embedded Linux, expert knowledge of the operating system would be of huge value.

• You've built or debugged systems from the ground up all the way from PCB to production firmware.
• You've written firmware for testing hardware and unit testing various pieces of firmware.
• You have experience with multiprocessor/distributed architectures.
• You've helped to visualize and extrapolate insights based on large data sets.
• You have a working knowledge of how state of charge and state of health impact a battery system.
• You have worked on battery systems and/or electric vehicles.
• You have used platforms from Texas Instruments, Renesas, and/or NXP.
• Debugging ARM systems at an assembly code level.
