You will be the 2nd Embedded Software Engineer in the company, joining a project at the early stages of prototype development, with the ambition to manufacture in 2024.

You will be developing firmware for a power supply that takes mains AC power and converts it into high frequency AC. This then distributes the energy over current.

This game changing power supply design will be more efficient, intrinsically safer, and more portable than anything currently available on the market. The power supply can be used in adverse weather conditions e.g. heavy rain without any safety issues to be worried about.

The product is being designed for multiple industry sectors, including agriculture, emergency services and household consumer e.g. an outdoor garden could use the power supply to light a garden easily and safely.

For an Embedded Software Engineer seeking an opportunity to work on a project at the early stages of development and work on it to manufacture then this is extremely exciting. After this product development is complete there is multiple other brand-new product developments to be kick started.

• Understand electronics i.e. you are comfortable reading a schematic or using electronic lab equipment such as bench power supplies or oscilloscopes

Desirable experience:

• STM32
• Git
• Jira and Confluence
• Visual Studio for unit testing
• IoT
• Wireless comms e.g. Bluetooth
• OTA updates
