With the growing demand for electricity, the need for smart, clean energy sources is constantly rising. SolarEdge offers amazing opportunities to develop your skills in a multidisciplinary environment, covering everything from research and development to production and customer supply. Work with talented colleagues, tackle exciting challenges, and help create a sustainable future in an industry that's always evolving and innovating. Join us and be part of a company that values creativity, agility, and impactful work.

The Embedded control team develop SW products that create the basic building blocks of the SolarEdge system and deal with various fields - power conversion algorithmic, communication algorithmic, optimizations, RT problems on different platforms - DSPs, Company’s ASIC and digital controlled power converters for photo-voltaic power systems. Our technological challenges focus on the following fields: power electronics, digital close loop control and digital signal processing algorithms implemented on company’s microprocessors.

In this position, you will take part in developing advanced control algorithms and software for SolarEdge’s state-of-the-art products.

What you will be doing:

• Learning the different aspects of our products by developing features in various areas and disciplines - power electronics, control theory, DSP, and communication over different platforms.
• Design, develop, optimize, test and maintain complex embedded SW for power electronics and control systems in a multi processors environment.
• Develop software for various micro-controllers and coping with various RT constraints.
• Involvement in projects / products from end to end - from concept and simulation, through development and integration and field deployment.
• Building complex simulations integrating SW and HW and working hand by hand with HW team.
• Interface with and support Hardware teams in testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting throughout the development cycle.

This role requires an understanding of power conversion, embedded systems, and real-time control algorithms.

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
• 3–5 years of experience in programming in C/C++ for real-time embedded systems.
• Basic understanding of ADCs, PWM generation, and communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, etc.).
• Basic understanding of power electronics hardware (MOSFETs, IGBTs, gate drivers, inductors, etc.).
• Knowledge of debugging tools, compilers, and firmware development workflows.
• A deep sense of curiosity and eagerness to learn is a must.
• Understanding control and power electronics, understanding of DC/DC, AC/DC, and inverter power conversion topologies is an advantage.
• Experience with RTOS and bare-metal programming is an advantage.
• Experience with control algorithms (PID, model predictive control, or adaptive control) is an advantage.
