Job Summary:
The Senior Firmware Engineer is a specialized role within the field of software engineering, focusing on the development of embedded software that controls electronic devices. They are responsible for designing, coding, and testing the firmware—the intermediary software that allows hardware to communicate with software. This includes developing algorithms and system level applications that operate on the device’s firmware. Firmware Engineers work closely with hardware engineers to understand the design and limitations of the hardware, ensuring the firmware is optimized for low level operations and resource constraints.

Core Responsibilities:

• Design, implement and test firmware for high-volume, battery-operated RF Automatic Meter Infrastructure (AMI) and metering products.
• Develop and integrate solid state metrology and/or sensors used within metering products.
• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical and product engineers to ensure high quality, factory-ready products that adhere to schedule, cost and performance requirements.
• Collaborate with other development and test teams (e.g. handheld tools, headend systems, analytics) to ensure products work flawlessly within Sensus solutions and with 3rd party offerings.
• Assist with design calculations, analog and digital circuit design and PCB schematics/layouts.
• Assist quality assurance and marketing teams in investigating and analyzing defective product returned from customers
• Develop PC-based tools and applications for demonstration and analysis of metrology and product performance data.

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
• At least 5 years of embedded OS and/or embedded systems development experience with 2 years of experience with utility metering products or other high volume products.
• Technical Lead as a project mentoring process.
• Experience writing assembly language and C code for micro-controllers in resource-limited situations (ROM/RAM/MIPS).
• Experience tuning software for power consumption and memory for optimal performance.
• Experience in writing system specifications (SPEC), product requirements documents (PRD) and prototype test plans (TP)
• Aptitude and initiative for continuous ‘grass-roots’ improvement of FW development processes and architecture.
• In-depth understanding of fixed point arithmetic issues and implementation techniques.
• Experience writing PC-based programs and scripts for testing and data analysis.
• Excellent testing and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a team environment of engineers to meet aggressive goals and high quality standards, as well as providing team technical guidance.
• Experience using common test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and spectrum analyzers.
• Must be fluent in English (both written and oral)
