Embedded Firmware Leadership :

- Lead firmware development for :

a. Lowlevel drivers and peripherals

b. Realtime firmware (RTOS / baremetal)

c. Bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms

d. Communication stacks (EtherCAT, CAN, PROFINET, IOLink, etc.)

- Guide implementation of :

a. Secure boot, cryptography, key management

b. Secure firmware update and rollback strategies

- Ensure compliance with secure development practices and cybersecurity requirements (e.g., IEC 62443).

- Promote structured software engineering : modularity, testability, and maintainability.

CrossFunctional System Ownership :

- Work closely with :

a. Controls engineers (PWM, ADC timing, realtime constraints)

b. System architects (partitioning, performance budgets)

c. Functional safety and cybersecurity stakeholders

- Ensure HWFWSystem alignment on requirements, interfaces, and verification.

- Support certifications, audits, and customer escalations when required.

Team Leadership & People Development :

- Lead, mentor, and technically coach hardware and firmware engineers.

- Build a high performance engineering culture :

a. Design reviews

b. Knowledge sharing

c. Engineering discipline and quality mindset

- Support hiring, onboarding, and capability development of the team.
