Embedded DSP Firmware Development Engineer/Sr. Engineer

Job Summary:
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Embedded Firmware & Hardware Engineer with 3–7 years of hands-on experience in DSP-based system development. The ideal candidate should have deep expertise in Texas Instruments C6000 and C2000 series processors, multicore architectures, real-time firmware development, and advanced hardware interface design. This role is critical to designing and delivering cutting-edge embedded solutions in the Power Electronics and Automotive domains.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify appropriate DSP processors and hardware platforms based on application requirements, performance targets, and system constraints.

• Design and develop embedded firmware for TI DSP processors (C6000 & C2000 families), targeting real-time control and signal processing applications.

• Architect and implement solutions for multicore processors, including parallel task scheduling, synchronization, and inter-core communication.

• Develop firmware and board support packages for internal and external peripherals (ADC, DAC, PWM, SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, etc.).

• Take complete ownership of the design, development, and integration process, driving tasks independently from concept to validation.

• Implement high-speed data transfer mechanisms using interfaces such as:

• PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)

• EMIF (External Memory Interface)

• EDMA (Enhanced Direct Memory Access)

• Design and integrate inter-processor communication protocols (between DSPs, MCUs, and FPGAs) using shared memory, DMA, and hardware FIFOs.

• Collaborate with hardware engineers on schematic design reviews, board bring-up, and system-level validation.

• Work closely with control and systems teams to integrate real-time control algorithms.

• Perform performance profiling, code/firmware optimization, and system-level debugging.

 

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3–7 years of industry experience in embedded firmware and hardware development.
• Strong proficiency with TI C6000/C2000 DSP architectures, peripherals, and toolchains (Code Composer Studio, TI RTOS, etc.).
• Solid understanding of multicore architectures, parallel processing, and real-time task synchronization.
• Expertise in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with advanced data transfer interfaces: PCIe, EMIF, EDMA, and high-throughput DMA mechanisms.
• Proven experience with communication protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet.
• Knowledge of bootloaders, firmware update mechanisms, and system diagnostics.

 

Preferred Qualification:

• Experience in the Power Electronics or Automotive domains (e.g., inverters, motor drives, BMS, converters, traction systems).
• Familiarity with FPGA co-design and FPGA–MCU/DSP interfacing.
• Exposure to Simulink/MATLAB for model-based design and code generation.
• Experience working in ISO 26262, ASIL, or other functional safety environments.
• Good knowledge of digital and analog electronics, including board-level debugging and hardware/software integration.
• Familiarity with signal processing, power converter control, or motor drive control applications.

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, or related fields.
