Role Description
Help develop the embedded software behind one of the world's first scalable road power plants. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop the embedded software that controls this groundbreaking technology and helps bring it from prototype to international deployment. Working closely with electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and physics engineers, you will build intelligent control systems, integrate hardware and software, and help shape the future of clean energy infrastructure.
-
Design and develop embedded software for the Road Power Plant and future energy harvesting systems.
-
Implement robust firmware and real-time control algorithms for embedded controllers.
-
Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models for system simulation, validation and optimization.
-
Integrate sensors, actuators and communication interfaces into the overall electrical system architecture.
-
Perform Software in the Loop (SIL), Hardware in the Loop (HIL), laboratory and field testing to validate system performance.
-
Develop and maintain cloud-based data storage solutions and databases for pilot installations and operational analysis.
-
Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and physics teams to create reliable integrated system solutions.
-
Support prototype development and contribute to the transition from prototype to serial production.
-
Optimize software architecture, reliability and overall system performance for future product generations.
-
Support pilot installations and field testing in Europe and internationally whenever required.
Qualifications
-
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Embedded Systems or a related field.
-
Several years of professional experience in embedded software development using C/C++ or comparable programming languages.
-
Experience working with microcontrollers such as STM32, ARM Cortex M or similar platforms.
-
Experience with MATLAB/Simulink, electrical system simulation and embedded control systems.
-
Knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, UART, I2C or Ethernet.
-
Experience with debugging, testing and hardware software integration.
-
Strong ownership mentality with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment.
-
Excellent communication skills in English. German is considered an advantage.
-
Ideally, experience with Python, Hardware in the Loop testing, Git, renewable energy systems, power electronics or startup environments.
Benefits
-
