Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer – Battery Management Systems
Location: Warwick – Onsite 3–4 days/week
Salary: £65,000–£75,000

About the Role
A rapidly expanding commercial energy infrastructure company is looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join their growing team. You’ll own firmware architecture for battery energy storage systems delivering mission-critical power resilience to customers across oil and gas and beyond — working with cutting-edge battery topologies and real-time power management algorithms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded C/C++ firmware for battery management controllers, including state estimation, cell balancing, and thermal management
• Evolve BMS architecture to support next-gen energy storage topologies, including ring-topology configurations and distributed cell monitoring
• Implement and optimise real-time power control logic for fast-response systems (50–240kW+), ensuring 99%+ reliability and uptime
• Define and debug power electronics interfaces, CAN/Modbus communication stacks, and safety-critical monitoring systems
• Develop test strategies and provide field support for deployed systems

Required Experience

• Embedded software development in C/C++ (microcontrollers, embedded Linux, or real-time systems)
• Battery management systems, power electronics, or energy storage
• Strong real-time fundamentals: interrupt handling, state machines, deterministic timing
• Proficiency with CAN bus, Modbus, or RS485
• Understanding of power electronics: voltage/current sensing, SoC/SoH estimation, thermal modelling
• Git and embedded debugging/test automation tools
• IEC 61508/functional safety experience a strong advantage

Desirable
Battery chemistry knowledge (Li-ion, LFP), industrial IoT/cloud-connected systems, FPGA/ASIC design, automotive/aerospace power systems, and wireless integration (Bluetooth/WiFi/4G/5G).

What They Offer
£65,000–£75,000, flexible/hybrid working, employee share scheme, modern engineering toolkit, and genuine technical autonomy within a small, fast-growing team. Plus pension, health insurance, and comprehensive benefits.

How to Apply
