Job description

Overview

Are you a hands-on developer who thrives at the intersection of embedded systems, real-world testing, and cloud-connected infrastructure? We're looking for a Software Developer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves. Someone who’s as comfortable writing C++ as they are debugging hardware in the lab or assisting with live field deployments. This is a great opportunity to be part of high-impact tech development, contributing to cutting-edge systems in energy storage and electric vehicle charging. If you’re passionate about firmware, functional modules, and bringing complex ideas to life, keep reading.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and validate firmware and embedded software modules for controllers
• Participate in system-level testing, including Factory, Site, and User Acceptance phases
• Support real-world deployments, including configuring and monitoring live systems
• Analyze system data to troubleshoot issues and improve efficiency
• Collaborate on the design and prototyping of backend APIs, web servers, and cloud infrastructure
• Assist with field setups and ensure devices are properly integrated with remote services
• Conduct hardware validation by reviewing datasheets and performing sample testing
• Write clear technical documentation and maintain version control using Git
• Prepare user manuals and training materials for deployments
• Create and deliver status reports, test summaries, and site completion documents
• Contribute to special projects as needed

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (Master’s preferred)
• Love working collaboratively to solve technical challenges and welcome feedback
• Know your way around programming languages like C / C++, Python, LabVIEW, or Go
• Have experience with embedded Linux systems and real-time programming
• Understand how to work with ARM or RISC-based single-board computers with limited resources
• Have been involved in software design and validation projects (internships or coursework count!)
• Are comfortable with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.) and Git
• Practice clean coding with strong documentation and commenting habits
• Are ready to move between your desk, the testing lab, and the factory floor when needed
• Have hands-on experience with Battery Management Systems (BMS) or EV charging controllers (SECC)
• Know a thing or two about Linux (RT extensions, POSIX), or PLC programming (especially IEC 61131-3)
• Bring a working knowledge of power systems, energy technologies, or microgrids
• Have a portfolio or project experience in embedded systems (that’s a big plus!)

What You’ll Learn Along the Way

• Real-world experience with Li-ion battery systems and EV charging infrastructure
• Deep insights into energy storage, microgrids, and electrified transportation
• Embedded system design from prototype through certification
• Full-stack and cloud-connected architecture, including Linux, APIs, and relational databases

Ready to join a team that blends software, hardware, and energy innovation?

If you're eager to apply your skills in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and where you’ll be doing more than just coding, this role is for you.
