process improvement

Develop microcontroller firmware for embedded systems, sensors, and power flow control circuitry for our Battery Management System (BMS).
Contribute to the unit and integration testing suite, and coordinate with the system and test team, to allow continuous delivery of high-quality firmware.
Derive software and hardware specifications and design features based on product requirements to meet UL 1998 and UL 5500 standards.
Support product deployment and field activities, including troubleshooting and debugging firmware in field environments to ensure performance and reliability.
Work with an interdisciplinary group of engineers on the Systems Team to define concepts, down-select designs, and optimize the new groundbreaking technology.
Adhere to and raise the bar on the firmware engineering processes and best practices.

Requirements

i2c

can

c/c++

misra

bachelor's

4+ years

Knowledge of peripheral communication protocols such as I2C and SPI, and component-to-component protocols like Modbus and CAN.
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related discipline. Master's degree preferred.
Familiarity with software compliance standards (e.g., MISRA, ISO 26262, CMMI, ASPICE, or UL 1998).
Excellent written communication and collaboration skills
Knowledge of electrical engineering concepts, including the ability to read and understand schematics and troubleshoot hardware interfaces.
Extensive experience using C/C++ for embedded systems in real-time, multithreaded control applications.
4+ years of experience in firmware development for embedded and RTOS systems; direct experience working on firmware for battery management or power electronics is a plus.

Culture + Values

extremely passionate and devoted and mission oriented, and we also are able to sustain things like a family life. And those two things are not in opposition.
team composed of passionate people who are deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world
culture where constructive disagreement is welcomed to drive innovation

Environment + Sustainability

2030 Target

Net-Zero Emissions Goal

Targets achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030.

$30M Grant

California Energy Commission Funding

Received a significant grant to support renewable energy storage deployment.

500 MWh Storage

Multi-Day Energy Storage Capacity

Deployment of a large-scale energy storage system to support renewable energy grids.

83% Reduction

Decrease in Renewable Curtailment

Modeling shows substantial reduction in the need to curtail renewable energy production.

Developing iron-air batteries using iron, water and air to enable fully renewable electric grid year-round.
Building commercial-scale iron-air battery factory in West Virginia by end of 2025.
Working on electrochemical ironmaking with ARPA-E funding to produce net-negative CO₂ iron at cost-parity with pig iron.
Modeling shows potential savings of ~$100B in hardware costs for New England.
