Lead- Firmware Development

Job description Team Lead and Architect - FE Digital ControlVacancy: At L&T EPS Industrial R and D- BengaluruPosition Responsibilities:

This role is to lead Firmware development for power converters Design, which essentially includes Firmware architecture development as modular and scalable firmware platform for projects executed within L&T EPS Industrial R and D or in collaboration with its co- partners in various types of Power electronics products development This role demonstrates excellent technical expertise and should take higher accountability in overall product development/adaptation covering with focus on firmware and demonstrating the adherence to the various global standards for different types of chargers for e mobility application. Mentoring firmware team and establish process for firmware, development, release and version tacking. The profile requires adherence to L&T process and contribution to the development of L&T process specific to power electronics product firmware development. Ability of working with cross functional teams including product management and customer facing team is a must. A good understanding of the application and the applicable global standards for e mobility sub systems is very important. Job Description Key activities include but not limited are:

• Accountable and owner of technical decisions during firmware development
• Write and own the firmware requirements document
• Evaluate and suggest suitable Architecture which is modular and scalable which can be used as libraries /functions and thus increases reuses across L&T product.
• Use technical capability and significant problem-solving analysis to establish most effective solution for complex problems and suggest /use appropriate tools for the same.
• Work as interface between hardware, manufacturing, testing and firmware team and influence technical decisions
• Analyse and identify the root cause(s) of the problems and develop alternatives to solve the problems
• A good knowledge on digital control of power converters, state machine, communication protocols like CAN, SPI, UART & USB at driver and application layer is a must
• Lead the technical review meetings
• Make significant technical contributions essential to the successful completion of projects
• Focus on automation of testing and help/guide validation/ manufacturing team for automating the test.
• Work with Semiconductor companies to select the most optimum/ best fit for controllers & Digital ICs for the products.
• Perform Gap Analysis and arrive at new solutions, tools, process and automations to reduce cost where applicable for firmware development.
• Demonstrating role model behaviour in technical excellence. Motivate team towards innovation and IP creation
• Imbibe and role model L&T behaviours and value system
• Part of Key firmware technical expert pool within L&T.Basic Candidate Qualifications:
