• Direct the creation of high-reliability firmware in C for microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000 and ARM Cortex.
• Oversee the optimization and testing of control algorithms specifically for AC motors.
• Ensure robust implementation of embedded diagnostic software and communication protocols.
• Collaborate with system engineers, testing teams, and vehicle-integration groups to align software development.
• Guarantee that software architecture complies with railway standards, safety requirements, real-time constraints, and internal development processes.
• Supervise software verification, hardware-in-the-loop testing, commissioning activities, and documentation throughout all development phases.
• Plan workloads, allocate resources, improve processes, and define the technology roadmap for the team.
• Establish or refine development processes based on the V model and align them with other STACON procedures.
• Act as the technical authority for converter-control systems during customer projects, design reviews, audits, and technical discussions.

• Demonstrated leadership experience or strong potential for leadership within embedded software or controls engineering.
• Expert-level proficiency in C programming for real-time embedded environments.
• Deep understanding of asynchronous motor-control algorithms, power-converter topologies, and embedded control platforms.
• Familiarity with communication interfaces including CAN, TRDP, SPI, and I2C, along with industrial communication principles.
• Fluent command of the English language.

Nice to have

• Prior experience in traction or auxiliary converter development.
• Knowledge of C++, Python, or scripting tools.
• Experience using MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, or control-algorithm design.
• Understanding of railway industry requirements, safety considerations, and system-engineering processes.
• Proficiency in the German language.
