Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Rivan Industries () is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO 2 locked underground.

We’ve design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our entire business plan. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.

To make the cheapest synthetic fuels on earth we need to have our electrical systems efficient, cheap, and scaleable. That means having end-to-end ownership of hardware and software, both in our deployed machines, in our factory, and everything in between. We want to bring everything in-house. To do that we need excellent software and hardware to design/test/deploy thousands of machines as soon as possible.

If you want to work at the intersection of electronics, firmware, and software that makes a real difference, we want to meet you.

We are looking for a senior engineer who can architect, ship, and scale embedded systems that move from prototype to thousands of deployed industrial machines.
