- Developed an Autonomous Laser Alignment System using a PIC18F26K83. Implemented a Bayesian Optimization algorithm to maximize optical power by controlling a 2-axis piezo inertia mirror mount.
- Designed a "Virtual Encoder" in software to track position for an open-loop system.
- Configured the Internal ADCC in Burst Average Mode to filter high-impedance photodiode noise.
- Interfaced with a PI E-870.41 driver using a custom 20kHz multiplexed pulse train.
- Developed a robust CAN Bootloader for the dual-core dsPIC33CH, enabling remote firmware updates. Solved deep-level bugs related to hardware timer conflicts, slave core fuse-bit mismatches, and CAN state management.
- Installs and integrates validated PCBs into the final laser systems, verifying all CAN, power, and I/O cabling and debugging any system-level hardware/software conflicts.
- Contributes to the development of the C++/Qt-based system control software, integrating CAN protocols to control and test all PCBs from a unified application.

About the technology
What dsPIC is
Microchip dsPIC is a family of 16-bit digital signal controllers from Microchip Technology. It is used where real-time control and signal processing must run on one chip, such as motor control, power conversion, audio processing, and sensor-heavy embedded systems.
Typical work
- Firmware for motor drives, inverters, and motion control
- DSP routines for filtering, control, and fast data handling
- Peripheral setup for PWM, ADC, timers, UART, SPI, and CAN
- Board bring-up, debugging, and production firmware updates
Tooling and ecosystem
Strong professionals work with MPLAB X, XC16, Microchip libraries, and common debug tools used with dsPIC boards. They also understand interrupts, fixed-point math, memory limits, and how to keep timing stable under load.
When to bring in outside help
Companies usually need freelance support when a product must move from prototype to stable firmware, when control performance needs tuning, or when legacy dsPIC code needs maintenance. In Germany, this often comes up in industrial equipment, automation, energy systems, and hardware teams that need short-term specialist support.
What strong specialists deliver
A good dsPIC specialist writes code that is predictable, testable, and easy to maintain. They trace timing issues, document register-level choices, and work closely with hardware and control requirements instead of treating firmware as isolated code.
How to choose the right expert
Look for hands-on work with the exact dsPIC family, not only broad embedded experience. Ask for examples of real-time control, signal handling, board debugging, and production release work, plus clear communication for remote or on-site collaboration.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Microchip dsPIC.
Microchip dsPIC is used for embedded products that need control and signal processing in real time. It is common in motor control, power electronics, sensor interfaces, and compact industrial devices. Teams choose it when timing and hardware access matter more than a general-purpose application stack.
dsPIC is often chosen when a project needs efficient fixed-point signal processing and tight control loops on a single device. PIC32 is a better fit for more general embedded software needs, while Cortex-M families offer a broader ecosystem. The right choice depends on timing, peripheral needs, and how much DSP work the firmware must do.
A strong Microchip dsPIC specialist usually knows C for embedded systems, interrupt-driven design, fixed-point arithmetic, and peripheral setup. Familiarity with PWM, ADCs, timers, serial buses, and hardware debugging tools is important. For control-heavy products, experience with motor control or power conversion is a strong advantage.
Yes, most dsPIC work sits close to the board and the electronics. A good specialist should be able to read schematics, understand signal paths, and work through issues that come from sensors, power stages, or clocking. Pure firmware knowledge is often not enough on its own.
Bring in Microchip dsPIC expertise when you need a prototype turned into reliable firmware, when an existing code base is hard to maintain, or when timing problems block release. Freelancers are also useful when your internal team knows embedded systems but lacks dsPIC-specific experience. That is common in product teams with short deadlines or changing hardware.
Much of dsPIC firmware work can be done remotely if the board can be shipped and the team can share test setups, logs, and schematics. On-site time helps during bring-up, noisy hardware issues, or when lab access is needed. Many German teams use a mix of both, depending on the project stage.
Look for clear examples of shipped firmware, not just a list of tools. A strong Microchip dsPIC expert can explain why a timing choice, interrupt model, or peripheral setup was used and how it was tested. Good signs are structured debugging, clean documentation, and practical communication with hardware and control teams.
Microchip dsPIC devices add stronger digital signal control features than many regular PIC microcontrollers. That makes them a better fit for real-time math, motor control, and other tasks that benefit from faster control loops. Regular PIC parts can still be right for simpler embedded jobs with lighter processing needs.
