Job description Team Lead and Architect - FE Digital ControlVacancy: At L&T EPS Industrial R and D- BengaluruPosition Responsibilities: This role is to lead Firmware development for power converters Design, which essentially includes Firmware architecture development as modular and scalable firmware platform for projects executed within L&T EPS Industrial R and D or in collaboration with its co- partners in various types of Power electronics products development This role demonstrates excellent technical expertise and should take higher accountability in overall product development/adaptation covering with focus on firmware and demonstrating the adherence to the various global standards for different types of chargers for e mobility application. Mentoring firmware team and establish process for firmware, development, release and version tacking. The profile requires adherence to L&T process and contribution to the development of L&T process specific to power electronics product firmware development. Ability of working with cross functional teams including product management and customer facing team is a must. A good understanding of the application and the applicable global standards for e mobility sub systems is very important. Job Description Key activities include but not limited are:1. Accountable and owner of technical decisions during firmware development 2. Write and own the firmware requirements document 3. Evaluate and suggest suitable Architecture which is modular and scalable which can be used as libraries /functions and thus increases reuses across L&T product.4. Use technical capability and significant problem-solving analysis to establish most effective solution for complex problems and suggest /use appropriate tools for the same.5. Work as interface between hardware, manufacturing, testing and firmware team and influence technical decisions6. Analyse and identify the root cause(s) of the problems and develop alternatives to solve the problems7. A good knowledge on digital control of power converters, state machine, communication protocols like CAN, SPI, UART & USB at driver and application layer is a must 8. Lead the technical review meetings9. Make significant technical contributions essential to the successful completion of projects10. Focus on automation of testing and help/guide validation/ manufacturing team for automating the test.11. Work with Semiconductor companies to select the most optimum/ best fit for controllers & Digital ICs for the products.12. Perform "Gap Analysis" and arrive at new solutions, tools, process and automations to reduce cost where applicable for firmware development.13.
