hirify.global develops automotive products and technologies focused on zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion.

What you will do

• Lead the technical development and integration of OBCM embedded software and controls from concept and requirements through implementation, validation, and production release.
• Define software, controls, interfaces, verification methods, production acceptance criteria, and requirements traceability for OBCM functions.
• Develop and guide AC/DC PFC, DC/DC conversion, voltage and current regulation, power-flow management, and bidirectional-operation control strategies.
• Provide technical direction for control loops, state machines, PWM, modulation, sampling, protection, diagnostics, fault handling, and real-time behavior.
• Integrate OBCM software with battery-management, high-voltage, charging, thermal-management, and supervisory-control systems while resolving cross-functional integration issues.
• Lead root-cause analysis, verification, validation, automated testing, calibration support, technical planning, risk management, and resolution of critical product issues across SIL, HIL, bench, dyno, and vehicle environments; mentor engineers and evaluate emerging power-conversion technologies.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Controls, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
