Embedded Sw Engineer

Autonomous charging for drones.
Safe, powerful, and easy‑to‑use.
Keeping your fleet operational.
About the Role
We're looking for a hands‑on Embedded Software Engineer to develop and scale Skycharge's autonomous charging systems for drones.
You'll design, program, and optimize the embedded intelligence behind our charging platforms — managing power control, communication, and safety — to deliver reliable, high‑performance solutions that keep autonomous fleets running 24/7.
This is a key technical role in a small, dynamic team, perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software and wants to see their work deployed in the real world.
Responsibilities

Design and develop embedded software for microcontrollers, including real‑time applications for Skycharge's next‑generation drone and robot charging systems.
Implement firmware for power management, communication, and system control.
Conduct system‑level testing, debugging, and validation, including communication protocols such as PMBus, CAN, UART, and PLC.
Support testing, validation, and field deployments of new firmware versions.
Maintain high‑quality technical documentation and version control.
Contribute to the architecture and roadmap of next‑generation charging platforms.

Qualifications

Master's Degree in Computer Engineering or Embedded Software Engineering or related field.
Minimum 3–5+ years of experience in embedded software development.
Proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers (e.g., STM
32) and FreeRTOS, including task scheduling and inter‑task communication.

Experience with communication protocols (CAN, UART, RS485, Modbus, Ethernet, etc.).
Ability to work independently and take end‑to‑end ownership of your modules.

Experience with GIT code versioning.

Nice to Have

Background in power electronics, robotics, or drone systems.
Proven expertise in high‑current DC electronics, including MOSFETs, gate drivers, and power stage design.

Experience with Drone CAN communication protocols.
Familiarity with CE certification and EMC compliance processes.

Experience with backend integration for IoT systems, ideally using AWS IoT Core and related cloud services.

Experience with Siemens PLC ecosystem and programming.
Experience in a startup environment.

Compensation and Benefits
Salary Range: €40,000 – €55,000 gross/year + equity package. Final compensation is determined based on experience, technical seniority, system‑level ownership, execution capability, expertise in embedded systems, autonomy in complex hardware/software environments, and relevance of previous industry experience.
