Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

• Work closely with product, software, and operations leadership to identify high-impact hardware opportunities
• Lead and grow our hardware engineering team across electronics, embedded, test and compliance, setting a high bar for hiring, mentoring and technical excellence.

Requirements

• Strong hardware engineering background with 10+ years of experience in electronics design engineering, including at least 3 years leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams
• Deep experience taking hardware products from concept into volume production
• Proficiency in electronics design, from schematics and PCB layout to board bring-up and debugging
• Understanding of embedded systems, firmware, and IoT connectivity (e.g., MCUs, communication protocols, OTA updates)
• Experience with power electronics or grid-connected energy hardware (e.g., inverters, batteries, EV chargers, solar)
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with software, product, and supply chain teams
