Embedded Software Developer

Job Description

At Zaptec we're looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team.

We combine the latest tech with human-centered design to offer highly intuitive and efficient EV chargers that ensure easier access to personal electric transport.

This gives people the freedom and potential to travel into a more sustainable future. How neat is that?

Within just a few years, we've built our domestic market-leading position by supplying superior charging installations for housing co-ops and private homes alike.

As a Norwegian EV pioneer, our goals are aimed at bringing the best charging technology to the rest of the world. Are you up for this challenge?

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.

Some personal skills we value

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

As for the skills required for this job

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g., computer science, cybernetics).
• 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).

We welcome applications from more experienced professionals as well 🚀

Join in! ☕️ Yes, we do spend a lot of time in front of our desks, but we also love coffee, conversations, nerdy talks, lunches and jokes. 🤡

And why work in our company?
