Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware for power-related products.
• Design firmware for power conversion control, battery charging/discharging strategies, and relay/sensor management.
• Work closely with hardware teams and ODM partners to ensure system-level integration and reliability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with BSP, HW, ID, Backend, Mobile, FE, PM and PA team  to deliver high-quality products.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams in product planning and development.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and validation teams to define specifications and ensure seamless integration.
• Document firmware design, manage source code (e.g., with Git), and participate in system testing and QA.
• Perform code reviews, ensuring best practices in coding standards.
• Participate in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for firmware issues.
   

Requirement
