About the role

  • This role requires deep expertise in Texas Instruments DSP platforms, inverter control firmware, and grid‑code compliance.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and implement FPGA logic for grid‑tied inverters and energy storage subsystems using FPGA/CPLD platforms.
  • Develop synthesizable RTL (VHDL/Verilog) for time‑critical functions such as data acquisition, protection logic, communications, and control offloading.
  • Translate system, control, and grid‑code requirements into traceable firmware requirements and robust designs.
  • Implement inverter features such as grid synchronization, protections, fault handling, diagnostics, and monitoring.
  • Support compliance with grid and firmware standards (UL 1741 SB, IEEE 1547, UL 1998) and certification testing activities.
  • Collaborate with hardware, controls, systems, and validation teams to ensure system‑level performance and reliability.
  • Debug complex firmware issues, perform root‑cause analysis, and optimize performance using lab tools and emulators.
  • Participate in and lead firmware architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical risk assessments.
  • Maintain clear firmware documentation and contribute to process improvement and release quality.
  • Mentor junior engineers and support product lifecycle and field issue resolution.

Requirements

  • Experience with gate driver control and power device protection of power semiconductor IGBT/MOSFET (i.e. with Wolfspeed, Infineon, Semikron etc.).
  • Experience with embedded communication protocols including CAN, SPI, UART, parallel interface and custom protocols.
  • Familiarity with firmware interfaces to BMS, EMS, SCADA, and commissioning tools.

Skills

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
  • 3+ years of hands‑on experience with Lattice FPGA platforms in production hardware.
  • Demonstrated experience with grid‑tied inverters, power converters, or comparable high‑reliability embedded systems.
  • Familiarity with inverter and grid‑interconnection standards such as UL 1741 SB, IEEE 1547‑2018, and UL 1998 is strongly preferred.
  • Experience working in cross‑functional and globally distributed engineering teams.
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, documentation, and technical communication skills.
  • International and domestic travel ability.
  • Expert proficiency with FPGA devices and toolchains, including synthesis, place & route, timing analysis, and bitstream generation.
  • Strong experience in RTL development using VHDL and/or Verilog for real‑time and safety‑critical applications.
  • Solid understanding of clocking, CDC, timing closure, latency, and throughput optimization.
  • Experience designing FPGA‑based interfaces to ADCs, DACs, MCUs/DSPs, sensors, and external peripherals.
  • Solid understanding of grid‑tied inverter operation and digital control concepts.

Compensation

  • $87,000 - $135,000 + annual bonus

Benefits

  • Enjoy a competitive salary and a generous benefits package.
  • The right mix of education, experience, and skills for the role.
