Embedded Firmware/Software Engineer, USB-C Power Delivery for Fastwater Staffing and Recruiting

Role Description We're bringing up new hardware built around USB-C Power Delivery controllers and are looking for an embedded firmware engineer to help take these boards from bare PCB to working, production-quality firmware. You'll write and debug firmware on 32-bit ARM microcontrollers, configure companion ICs over I2C/SPI/UART, and work hands-on at the bench in collaboration with our hardware team. Job

• Bring up new PCBs: validate power/clocks, connect a debugger, enable peripherals, and get firmware running on new hardware Develop and debug embedded C firmware on ARM Cortex-M-class MCUs Configure and drive companion ICs over I2C or other peripheral buses Implement and debug USB-C / USB-PD behavior (power negotiation, source/sink roles, fault handling, etc.) Debug at the bench with oscilloscope, protocol/logic analyzer, multimeter, and SWD/JTAG Work from datasheets, register tables, and schematics Document configurations and design decisions Collaborate with hardware engineers to isolate hardware vs. firmware issues Required Skills - Strong embedded C on 32-bit MCUs (ARM Cortex-M or similar): interrupts, register-level peripheral work, development under flash/RAM constraints Working understanding of USB-C/USB-PD (source/sink/DRP roles, power contract negotiation) I2C/SPI/UART peripheral/companion-IC communication, configuration, and debug Hands-on hardware bring-up experience: taking a board from power-on to running firmware, or debugging firmware against
