Embedded Software Engineer

As our new Embedded Software Engineer , you will work with the embedded software team as a key contributor on varied development tasks. This includes work related to our core products, Zaptec Pro and Zaptec Go, our two EV charger models.

You’ll be part of a team typically focusing on products built with FreeRTOS/ESP32 or Linux/Yocto. We offer flexibility and believe that freedom at work is essential, so while we can’t outline exactly how your day-to-day will look, we expect it may include:

• Develop embedded applications. Whether it's working on our FreeRTOS-based systems or the C# application that runs on our embedded Linux platform, you'll extend and improve the behavior of our systems. The improvement and extension of our systems play a crucial role in delivering the functionalities our users desire.
• Code bare-metal C for microcontrollers. We use MCUs to perform timing-sensitive tasks on our EV chargers.
• Improve our Yocto-based Linux development. Enable hardware by setting up device trees, configuring drivers, and handling network interfaces.
• Evolve how our devices talk with the cloud. We constantly add to how our devices communicate with our cloud services (hosted on Azure). This communication is a crucial part of our IoT devices and allows us to offer new functionality to our systems and simplify the scaling of our cloud systems.
• Collaborate across teams and disciplines. Engage with our cloud, app, hardware, and production specialists. Collectively we deliver complete technical solutions to the market.
• Monitor and improve our devices. Monitor devices in the field, investigate issues that pop up, and deploy fixes as OTA updates.
• Explore the Future. Participate in evolving the way we work and develop our systems, both to make our day-to-day activities flow smoother and to build the future of EV charging.
