Our mission at Qwello is to revolutionise the charging industry, we are committed to turn the world from combustion to electric. We design, build and operate charging infrastructure for the public space. We excel in simplicity, user focus and engineering excellence. We value diversity of thought, background and approaches and foster a culture of belonging. We understand that the best products are built by excellent teams, not individual superstars. Be part of shaping the E-mobility of the future!
To reach our goal we are looking for a Senior Embedded Engineer to help us develop software (Rust/Python/C) on our charging stations and cloud infrastructure. At Qwello, you will be responsible for high quality, low bug design & implementation and understand that our stations are far away from home, on a slow network connection and potentially hard to physically get to. Therefore you design for resilience, remote introspection & telemetry first and keep an IOT frame of mind at all times. Security is important to you. You are an efficient engineer, focused on fast execution of your craft.
Let's power the future together!
- Drive forward the development of firmware and high level services using Rust and Python, ensuring our charging platform is scalable, testable, and resilient
- Work shoulder to shoulder with our fleet reliability colleagues by building the telemetry and self-healing systems that allow us to detect and resolve faults before the customer plugs in
- Own the Infrastructure. Architect and maintain Bazel and Yocto-based build systems, transforming our CI/CD from a simple script into a hermetic environment that guarantees 100% reproducible cross-compilation builds across multiple hardware generations and architectures
- Drive the root-cause analysis of complex, cross-domain failures (HW/SW/Network) and design the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing frameworks required to automate our quality processes
- Writing software (Rust/Python/C) for our charging stations and the backends they talk to
- Designing and implementing cloud/IoT system architectures
- Improving the monitoring and testing of our station’s software, as well as our CI pipelines
- Debugging HW/SW issues on our charging stations
- Developing HW/SW solutions to automate testing of our hardware
- We mostly write Rust with a tad of Python - so you should enjoy Rust and either be good at it or wanting to learn and be familiar with Python
- Solid experience with architecting & implementing on-premise systems, as well as automating testing of them
- You have lived through the full lifecycle of an embedded product and have stayed long enough to see your architectural decisions succeed—or fail—in the wild
- 7+ years of embedded experience and/or low level programming languages experience, e.g microcontrollers, C/C++, Rust
- Experience shipping solutions to a distributed fleet of devices
- Ability to self-organise in an environment of changing priorities; willingness to work on multiple tasks/content switching
- Fluency in English, German language knowledge is a plus
- Experience with cloud technologies (AWS, Terraform, Docker)
- Experience with different network protocols (gRPC, MQTT, HTTP)
- Experience with Bazel-based build system, we are specifically interested in cross-platform compilation
- You can navigate a Yocto build without getting lost in the layers
- You understand how to debug hardware protocols (Modbus, I2C, UART, SPI) using logic analyzers or kernel logs
- You feel comfortable reading schematics or helping with the review of a wiring schemes
- Familiarity with EVerest, OCPP, ISO 15118
- Familiarity with IEC 61851-1
- Flat hierarchies with an efficient decision-making processes without red tape
- The opportunity to play a key role in shaping the mobility revolution
- Be part of an international and dynamic team of more than 30 nationalities
- Enjoy a hybrid setup based in our Munich office, with 1–2 days on-site per week and flexibility to work remotely the rest of the time — plus the possibility of workation within the EU and 30 vacation days
- Regular company and team events outside of the office to disconnect from our computers and reconnect with colleagues on hikes, mountain e-bike tours, offsites and more
- Personal and professional development through in-house lunch & learn sessions, collaborative discussions, as well as externally provided training, courses and conferences
- Discounted access to Wellpass for comprehensive wellbeing support—enjoy fitness, wellness, and mindfulness options to help you stay balanced and energized
