Embedded Software, Controls Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Uruguay.

📋 Description

• Develop and sustain embedded C/C++ software for microcontrollers, which encompasses bare-metal firmware, hardware drivers, and board support packages (BSPs).

• Convert system and functional requirements into control models and software designs.

• Collaborate effectively with systems, hardware, and application engineering teams.

• Design, simulate, and validate control logic using MATLAB and Simulink, which includes model-level unit testing.

• Implement and integrate the resulting functionalities in embedded C/C++.

• Create machine-control applications that interface with joysticks, keypads, sensors, and electrohydraulic systems.

• Develop control logic for hydrostatic pumps and hydraulic valves, including flow metering and coordination with machine operating states.

• Enhance power management, cooling, and hydraulic fan control functionalities.

• Debug and validate software throughout the embedded stack, from hardware interfaces and drivers to application behavior on the machine.

• Operate within an Agile development framework.

• Maintain requirements traceability, verification evidence, and software lifecycle documentation using tools such as Polarion.

• Participate in code reviews, version control, automated builds, and continuous integration utilizing GitHub, Jenkins, and GCC-based toolchains.

⛳️ Requirements

• Practical experience in developing embedded software in C/C++ for microcontrollers, particularly in bare-metal environments.

• Proven track record in translating system requirements into models, control logic, and embedded implementations.

• Strong understanding of control systems and hardware/software interfaces, with experience in integrating sensors, actuators, or operator inputs.

• Proficient in debugging embedded software and troubleshooting issues across firmware, electronics, and machine behavior.

• Solid foundation in software engineering practices, including unit testing, Git workflows, code reviews, and continuous integration.

• Capable of collaborating across disciplines and functioning effectively within an Agile engineering team.

• Willingness to travel to the US.

• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink for model-based control development, simulation, and verification is highly desirable.

• Background in heavy machinery, mobile equipment, or industrial machine-control systems is a significant advantage.

• Familiarity with electrohydraulics, hydrostatic drives, pump and valve control, power management, or cooling systems is a considerable plus.

• Experience that encompasses both low-level embedded development and application-level controls is a major advantage.

• Knowledge of Jenkins, GitHub, and GCC toolchains is a significant plus.

• Experience with engineering documentation and component datasheets, including through PLM tools such as Windchill, is a significant advantage.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Retirement savings plan with company matching.

• Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.

• Flexible work hours and the potential for remote work.
