Senior Staff Power Electronics Control Firmware Engineer
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to appropriate headings.
We have:
- About Us: description of company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company, not role. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for description of role? But we have "About Us". Might be better to use "About the role" for role description (What You Will Be Doing + What You Will Bring). However we also have separate sections for Responsibilities and Requirements.
We need to decide which headings to include based on content.
We have:
- Reports To Sr. Manager, Power Electronics Firmware (metadata) - we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably include as a short paragraph under maybe "About the role"? Or just a
line. - What You Will Be Doing: list of duties (design and implement...). That's responsibilities. - What You Will Bring to ChargePoint: list of qualifications/skills/experience (design and implement...). That's qualifications/skills. - Requirements: list of requirements (experience, programming, etc.) - could be qualifications. - Location: location info. - Pay: base salary range and RSU grant info. - Benefits: comprehensive benefits package. Thus we can have sections:
About the role
maybe include short paragraph about Reports To and company description? But we have About Us separate. Could combine About Us as "About the company"? Not in allowed headings. But we could still include a heading "About the role" and put the About Us text there? Might be odd but acceptable? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). Likely they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: could include the "About Us" description? Actually "About the role" is about the role, not company. But we have no explicit "About the role" text. However we could combine the "Reports To" and maybe a brief summary of role? Might be thin. Better to omit About the role if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So if we don't have specific content for About the role, we should not include it.
Thus we need to decide which headings we have content for:
Responsibilities: we have "What You Will Be Doing" which is a list of duties. So we can have Responsibilities
with - items.
Requirements: we have "Requirements" section with bullet list. So
Requirements
.
Qualifications/Skills: we have "What You Will Bring to ChargePoint" which is qualifications/skills. Could be under Qualifications
or Skills
. Since we have both headings allowed, we could split? But better to have one section for Qualifications (or Skills). The posting includes both qualifications and skills mixed. Choose Qualifications.
Pay: we have salary range and RSU grant. So Pay
.
Benefits: we have benefits package. So Benefits
.
Schedule: not present, so omit.
Location: not a standard heading but we could fold into a short under Pay or Benefits? Or maybe under About the role? The instruction says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata, so we can include a short
maybe after Pay or before Benefits.
Thus output:
Responsibilities
- ... items from What You Will Be Doing
Qualifications
- ... items from What You Will Bring to ChargePoint
Requirements
- ... items from Requirements
Pay
The base salary range for this role is $200,000 – $230,000 per year. In addition, this position is eligible for a new hire RSU grant and annual merit-based RSU grants. Compensation may be adjusted based on work location.

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Ensure we include all details from each section.
Let's extract details precisely.
What You Will Be Doing:
- Design and implement embedded control systems for power factor correction (PFC), grid-tie, grid-forming inverters, bidirectional chargers, DC/DC converters, and related power electronics.
- Stay updated on advancements in digital control technologies and controllers.
- Validate design concepts through both computer simulations and hands-on laboratory testing.
- Create automated test cases for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) modelling and testing, where applicable.
- Perform board bring-up activities and develop device drivers for communication protocols such as CAN, I2C, and SPI.
- Contribute to specification development, participate in design reviews, and carry out unit testing.
- Ensure a thorough understanding of safety and regulatory requirements for power converters used in fast charging applications.
- Guarantee compliance with relevant regulatory and safety standards, including UL, IEC, and SAE.
We need each as - .
What You Will Bring to ChargePoint:
