Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to develop the firmware that will monitor and control our novel multi-day storage battery modules. You will bring deep experience in embedded software development and low-level programming.

Manage software development deliverables through the entire software development cycle, including design, development, debugging, validation, release, and quality processes

Synthesize outputs from battery test data and models to implement algorithms for system performance and lifetime

Work with an interdisciplinary group of engineers on the Systems Team to define concepts, downselect designs, and optimize a new groundbreaking technology

What you'll bring:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

Minimum 3+ years of experience in software development for embedded systems; direct experience working on Battery Management or Power Electronics firmware is a plus

Extensive experience using C/C++ for embedded systems in real-time, multithreaded control applications

Familiarity with software compliance standards (I.E. MISRA, ISO 26262, CMMI, ASPICE, or UL 1998)

Deep knowledge of peripheral communication protocols such I2C and SPI and component-to-component protocols such as Modbus and CAN
