• Collaborate across teams and disciplines. Engage with our cloud, app, hardware, and production specialists to deliver complete technical solutions to the market.
• Monitor and improve our devices. Monitor devices in the field, investigate issues, and deploy fixes as OTA updates.
• Explore the future. Participate in evolving how we work and develop our systems to flow smoother and build the future of EV charging.

• Strong understanding of electronics.
• Insight into software engineering principles.
• Responsible as an individual and cooperative as a team member.

• 0–3 years of experience with embedded systems, C or C++.
• Experience with protocol design and communication with peripherals.
• Familiarity with Bluetooth Low Energy and cloud‑bound network communication (sockets, HTTP, MQTT).
