Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brasil Nextracker Inc. Tempo inteiro R$100.000 - R$150.000 por ano

Job Description
We're seeking a Sr. Firmware Engineer to drive the development of real-time embedded control systems at the core of our next-generation energy technologies. As part of our New Technology Introduction team, you'll architect and implement firmware for cutting-edge power conversion platforms, enabling high-reliability performance in real-world, high-power energy environments. This role blends deep technical execution with systems-level ownership across control theory, embedded systems, and power electronics.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end firmware design and development lifecycle for advanced power electronic and energy infrastructure systems.
  • Design and implement digital control algorithms for high-performance regulation of voltage, current, and power, including support for grid-tied systems.
  • Develop advanced digital control algorithms (e.g. PR, PLL, harmonic suppression, predictive models).
  • Architect, write, and maintain high-efficiency C/C++ firmware for bare-metal and RTOS-based platforms (MCUs, DSPs, hybrid architectures).
  • Configure and manage low-level hardware interfaces (PWM, ADC, DMA, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet) from register-level up..
  • Architect and implement reliable state machines, fault detection, and protection logic for mission-critical control.
  • Integrate and support industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, SunSpec, CAN, custom Ethernet/serial).
  • Contribute to FPGA co-processing logic using VHDL for high-speed control and signal processing.
  • Model and simulate control systems using MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM, or PLECS to support validation and iteration.
  • Lead hands-on testing, bring-up, and debugging using lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, real-time hardware in the loop).

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in real-time embedded firmware development for power electronics or energy systems.
  • Direct experience with high-power, high-voltage energy systems and grid-tied inverters or converters.
  • Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ for MCUs and DSPs, with in-depth knowledge of embedded control systems.
  • FPGA design experience using VHDL for embedded co-processing.
  • Strong understanding of RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Micrium OS) and bare-metal firmware design.
  • Solid foundation in control theory with proven real-world implementation in digital systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage hardware peripheral integration from the ground up.
  • Experience with industrial communication protocols and compliance-driven development.
  • Familiarity with scripting (e.g., Python) for automation, testing, or tooling is a plus.
