Firmware Engineer (Industrial Automation)

Job Description

As a Firmware Engineer, you will play a key role in developing high-performance embedded firmware solutions for advanced Industrial Automation products. You will contribute to fieldbus implementations (EtherCAT, PROFINET, and OPC UA FX), FreeRTOS integration, MCU peripheral configuration, and next-generation industrial automation technologies in a dynamic international R&D environment.

You will collaborate closely with experienced firmware, hardware, and system engineers on the full product lifecycle — from design and implementation to testing, optimization, and maintenance. This position is also open to recent graduates who have relevant academic projects, internships, or hands-on experience in embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ for Industrial Automation products
• Implement and support industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, PROFINET, OPC UA FX)
• Configure and optimize MCU peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADC, PWM, DMA, etc.)
• Perform firmware debugging, testing, validation, and performance optimization
• Collaborate with hardware and system engineers on firmware development throughout the product development cycle
• Participate in code reviews and maintain clear, modular firmware documentation
• Continuously improve firmware reliability, maintainability, and real-time performance
• Contribute to the development and optimization of firmware functions for servo drive technologies

Qualifications

• Master degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Solid experience in embedded firmware development (recent graduates with strong projects/internships are welcome)
• Good proficiency in embedded C/C++
• Basic understanding of microcontrollers and real-time embedded systems
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts (FreeRTOS experience is a plus)
• Understanding of common communication protocols and embedded interfaces
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken)
• Strong willingness to learn and grow within Industrial Automation technologies
