You will work closely with cross-functional and global teams across hardware, networking, security, systems engineering, and product development to guide architecture decisions, and improve engineering execution.Job DescriptionKey Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership for embedded platform modernization, product development, and next-generation system architectures within the business line.
- Review the design and implementation of real-time embedded platforms for protection and communication systems using multi-core SoCs, RTOS (VxWorks, QNX, FreeRTOS), and embedded Linux.
- Identify, evaluate, and introduce engineering solutions for embedded software and firmware challenges across product development and lifecycle support.
- Guide architectural implementation of virtualized firmware stacks, embedded containers, and real-time microservices for digital substations and edge computing applications.
- Support adoption of embedded virtualization using lean hypervisors and modular software architectures that improve reliability, maintainability, and secure field-deployable service updates.
- Chair design reviews for individual components, sub-assemblies, and key engineering deliverables in support of robust product execution.
- Support technical risk identification and resolution for products and subsystems, helping teams address design, quality, and schedule concerns.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows, and automated test frameworks tailored to embedded environments.
- Support architecture for edge software solutions for AI/ML-based diagnostics, adaptive protection, and predictive maintenance in secure real-time environments.
- Organize and communicate lessons learned within the domain to improve engineering quality and prevent repeated issues.
- Participate in patent evaluation activities and contribute to innovation through technical problem-solving, publications, or intellectual property development.
- Represent the business in professional working groups and select customer or supplier engagements.
- Maintain active relationships with relevant academic institutions and support technical competency development within the business line.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
- Significant experience in embedded software/firmware design, with substantial experience in technical leadership, system design, and/or architecture for embedded systems.
- Strong experience in real-time embedded systems used in power system protection, automation, or communication.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++, with experience in embedded Linux, RTOS (VxWorks, QNX, FreeRTOS), and containerization/virtualization concepts for embedded systems.
- Experience integrating protocols such as GOOSE, MMS, SV, DNP3, Modbus, IEEE C37.118, IEC 60870-5-104, IEEE 1588, and secure communication protocols.
- Familiarity with electrical and cybersecurity standards including IEC 60255, NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and IEC 62351.
- Working knowledge of embedded hypervisors, container runtimes, and service isolation in resource-constrained environments.
- Hands-on experience with development toolchains, software analyzers, debugging tools, and validation across embedded and virtualized targets.
- Demonstrated ability to provide technical consultation, lead design reviews, and guide resolution of complex engineering issues.
- Strong technical leader with the ability to influence engineers, project leaders, and cross-functional teams.
- Willingness and ability to travel for technical reviews, customer discussions, supplier audits, industry events, and business-line engineering initiatives.
