Ingeniero de firmware

Job DescriptionThe Firmware Engineer is a specialized role within the field of software engineering, focusing on the development of embedded software that controls electronic devices. They are responsible for designing, coding, and testing the firmware—the intermediary software that allows hardware to communicate with software. This includes developing algorithms and system-level applications that operate on the device’s firmware. Firmware Engineers work closely with hardware engineers to understand the design and limitations of the hardware, ensuring the firmware is optimized for low-level operations and resource constraints. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES: • Motivated, curious, self-starting professional to contribute and grow as a part of our team • Design, implement, and test firmware for high-volume battery-operated RF Automatic Meter Infrastructure (AMI) and metering products as part of an international cross-functional team. • Develop and integrate FW to drive sensors and communication paths used within metering products. • Collaborate with hardware, mechanical and product engineers to ensure high quality, factory-ready products that adhere to schedule, cost and performance requirements. • Collaborate with other development and test teams (e.g. handheld tools, headend systems) to ensure products work flawlessly within Sensus solutions and with 3rd party offerings. • Develop documentation required for collaboration, sustainability and internal processes. • Develop PC-based tools and applications (e.g. based on xUnit, Python, Ruby, C#) for demonstration and analysis of product performance data. • Develop embedded support for module testing and code coverage assessment (e.g. using Ceedling) • Create test plans and fixtures for continuous integration (functional) testing • Assist with design calculations, analog and digital circuit design, microcontroller pin assignment, and PCB schematics/layouts. • Assist quality assurance and support teams in investigating and analyzing defective product returned from customers • Interface with third-party companies to enable integration of their technologies with the Sensus portfolio of products. • Participation in Xylem Watermark (community service) volunteer activitiesThis position is based in Mexico, and some travel to the United States will be required.QUALIFICATIONS:• Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. • At least 2 years of embedded OS and/or embedded systems development experience • Experience writing and optimizing C code for micro-controllers in resource-limited situations (memory, power, and performance). • Experience writing PC-based programs and scripts for testing and data analysis. • Experience with Version Control Systems (e.g. Git). • Excellent testing and troubleshooting skills, including board-level debugging. • Experience with common test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and spectrum analyzers. • Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment of engineers to meet aggressive goals and high quality standards, as well as providing team technical guidance. • Aptitude and initiative for continuous ‘grass-roots’ improvement of FW development processes and architecture. • Must be fluent in English (both written and oral)PLUSES:• Some experience with utility metering products or other high-volume products. • Experience developing and debugging software on MSP430 or ARM Cortex-M3 architectures. • Experience writing system specifications, product requirements documents, and prototype test plans.
