My company, Pi Innovo (http://pi-innovo.com/), has an opening for an experienced embedded software engineer.

Pi Innovo is a small company located in Plymouth, MI, which is about 6 miles northeast of Ann Arbor. We mostly do control systems for companies that don't have their own controls engineering departments. That means the work has a large amount of variety and things are always changing. All in all, I couldn't imagine a better place to work for someone that enjoys the challenges of FIRST (i.e. frequent new challenges (http://pi-innovo.com/expertise/) with a rapid development pace).

Our ideal candidate has the following experience:

- BSE or better

- more than 2 years in embedded software with automotive-type microcontrollers such as Freescale/NXP PowerPC or S12, Infineon TriCore, Renesas, TI, etc. (i.e. not mobile devices).

- Creating and debugging low-level drivers

- C and assembly development

- Matlab / Simulink / Stateflow, including auto-code generation with TLC

- Creating Python tools

- Strong problem solving skills, especially being able to use standard tools (scopes, debuggers, etc.) to get new ECUs working

- Experience with SPI-based ASICs is a big plus


As a software engineer at Pi Innovo, most of the work will be developing and expanding our OpenECU developer platform (http://pi-innovo.com/product/openecu-developer-platform-sim-api/). Additionally, we often develop custom ECUs with custom software for a variety of customers. Depending on your skill set, you may also develop control algorithms and strategies for a variety of electromechanical systems.

A small sample of what we have done:
Aircraft engine control (http://pi-innovo.com/case-study/aviation-electronic-engine-management/)
Semi-active suspension (http://pi-innovo.com/case-study/openecu-for-developing-semi-active-suspension-control/)
Custom ECU for sensorless brushless motor control (http://pi-innovo.com/case-study/bergstrom-bldc-controller/)
Hybrid vehicle control (http://pi-innovo.com/case-study/ford-hybrid-fuel-cell-vehicle-control-software/)



If that sounds interesting to you, send me an IM.
