About the Role

Diamond Foundry Inc. is seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer specialized in real-time digital control to lead the architecture and development of embedded firmware for high-performance power electronic systems. This role focuses on real-time control systems, high-frequency power converters, and advanced embedded programming across microcontroller and DSP platforms.

Key Responsibilities

→Architect and implement real-time digital control firmware for automotive and industrial AC-DC, DC-DC, and inverter systems, including high-speed interrupt-driven control loops and DSP optimization.
→Develop and tune advanced control algorithms (PID, state-space, digital compensators, observers) for high-bandwidth power converters with deterministic timing and loop stability.
→Lead embedded development across multiple microcontroller and DSP platforms, interfacing with ADCs, PWMs, sensors, and gate drivers in high-voltage systems.
→Drive hardware bring-up, system debugging, validation, and performance optimization using professional tools (JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), including automated testing and calibration frameworks.
→Develop GUI-based engineering tools (Python or Visual C++), simulation workflows (MATLAB/Simulink), and maintain firmware architecture standards aligned with automotive safety processes (e.g., ISO 26262).

Requirements

✓BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
✓5+ years of experience developing real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for power electronics or high-performance control systems.
✓Proven experience implementing digital control algorithms for high-frequency switching power converters (AC-DC, DC-DC, inverters), with a strong foundation in control theory and DSP.
✓Expert proficiency in C/C++ and advanced microcontroller programming techniques in real-time, interrupt-driven environments, including RTOS concepts and low-latency architectures.
✓Experience with embedded system validation and modeling tools (JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, MATLAB/Simulink), and familiarity with automotive development processes such as ISO 26262.
