Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. — Onsite - Eastwood, Quezon City, PH
Firmware Engineer — 2024-08 - present
- Optimized firmware for 16-bit/32-bit MCUs and DSPs across diverse semiconductor and industrial applications to improve system reliability, delivering cleaner, more stable operation on every device.
- Accelerated onboarding and cross-team knowledge transfer by documenting the theory of operation for 3 new technology blocks, giving design teams a clear reference for future work.
- Diagnosed and resolved 2 complex hardware-firmware integration faults using JTAG and GDB debugging, working closely with the hardware engineering team to isolate root causes across both domains.
- Enabled earlier hardware validation by developing an internal hardware tool that verifies firmware functions at the signal level, cutting the wait for hardware-level testing by 12 weeks.
- Streamlined firmware validation by automating functional test strategies with Python scripts, replacing slow manual checks with repeatable, reliable runs.
- Strengthened release confidence by contributing to CI/CD pipeline improvements for firmware builds and testing, making deployments more consistent and dependable across key projects.
