Job Summary

Vertiv is hiring a Firmware Engineer - DSP in Delaware, Ohio who will work independently and as part of a team to develop embedded control algorithms for power switching and distribution and/or Uninterruptible Power Supply products. The qualified candidate will have an electrical engineering degree with both firmware and hardware development experience in a related field of inverter, rectifier and dc/dc converter design. The qualified candidate will work with a group of firmware team members located globally on different global projects.

Responsibilities:

• Independently performs analysis and design of system architectures.
• Troubleshoots and performs system level failure mode analysis.
• Works jointly with other embedded control firmware engineers on system and product architecture and related design strategies.
• Develops control algorithms using knowledge and experience related to proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controls and/or other feedback control techniques.
• Develops models of the system to be controlled using Matlab / Simulink and the power system block set.
• Simulates the developed control algorithms in Matlab / Simulink and fine tunes the control parameters.
• Works jointly with other engineers on system and product architecture and related design strategies.
• Converts the control algorithms to firmware, using C / C++ and then integrates the embedded control algorithms into the Matlab / Simulink models.
• Works with global firmware team to implement embedded control algorithm and deploy products globally.
• Supports field customer issues.

Requirements:

• B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering with at least 3 years of professional engineering experience designing, developing and analyzing embedded controls for power electronic systems
• Experience developing embedded code in C.
• Experience using MATLAB/Simulink.

• Demonstrated knowledge with Power Devices and controlling Power Devices. For example, 3-phase rectifiers (phase controlled or PWM), 3-phase inverters (IGBT) is preferred.
• Demonstrated skill understanding feedback control algorithms, such as PID controllers is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience doing embedded code development on a micro controller or digital signal processor (DSP) is preferred.
• Knowledge of assembly coding, battery monitoring, and bug/defect tracking tools is a plus.
• Knowledge of system failure mode and operations in a 3-phase power system is preferred.
• Demonstrated skill using firmware debugging tools (Code Composer, Code Warrior preferred).
• Demonstrated skill setting up and performing tests in a lab environment to validate firmware designs and requirements. Must know how to use an oscilloscope, power meters etc.
• Knowledge of how to read a circuit board schematic and experience troubleshooting both hardware and firmware related bugs.
• Skill documenting firmware using appropriate tools and techniques (Visio, Rally)
• Demonstrated good mathematical skills as applied to AC circuit analysis and control system design.
• Skill with configuration management practices and tools.
• Experience with VHDL code is a plus.
• Must have good communication skills: written and oral.
• Knowledge of developing firmware in an RTOS environment is a plus.
• Knowledge of product development life cycle is desirable.
