Sr. Embedded Firmware Engineer

As a Firmware Engineer in the New Product Development group, you will contribute to designing, developing, and delivering high-quality embedded solutions for electric actuator products. This role involves working across the full product lifecycle, from interpreting requirements to implementation and testing, ensuring alignment with Emerson's standards for reliability, innovation, and customer satisfaction. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build scalable and compliant firmware solutions that meet both technical and regulatory expectations.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and enhance firmware for electric actuators, ensuring seamless integration with hardware systems.
• Develop firmware solutions from concept through deployment, including coding, debugging, validation, and release activities.
• Analyse and optimise firmware for performance, efficiency, and reliability against defined specifications.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and test teams to enable smooth system integration.
• Conduct testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis to resolve technical issues and improve product quality.
• Participate in all stages of product development, including design, prototyping, certification, and manufacturing support.
• Stay updated with industry trends, tools, and methodologies to continuously improve firmware solutions and development practices.

Requirements:

• You build partnerships and work collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives.
• You demonstrate strong problem-solving skills by analysing complex technical challenges and developing effective solutions.
• You communicate clearly and effectively across different teams to ensure alignment and understanding.
• You show a continuous learning mindset and actively seek opportunities to improve processes, tools, and outcomes.
• Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• Strong experience in embedded firmware development with the ability to work closely with hardware teams.
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with RTOS concepts and firmware development in RTOS environments.
• Understanding of microcontrollers/microprocessors (16/32-bit) and peripheral interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet, USB, and display systems.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with product development lifecycle processes and tools for configuration management and issue tracking.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a global engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, HART, or Bluetooth.
• Exposure to cybersecurity practices in embedded systems, particularly IEC62443 standards.
• Experience in firmware development for motor control or actuator-based products.
• Familiarity with Agile or SAFe methodologies.
• Experience in delivering end-to-end product development from concept to production.
