Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Electric Vehicle Charging
Location: Birmingham (Hybrid: 2 days per week on-site) Salary: £75,000 – £80,000 + Bonus + EV Salary Sacrifice Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Our client is an innovative UK technology business specialising in next-generation ultra-high-power EV charging solutions, accelerating the transition to electric mobility.
Deploying proprietary power electronics, embedded systems, and charging infrastructure, their engineering teams develop cutting-edge hardware and embedded software for some of the world’s most advanced DC charging platforms. Seeking to expand their team, they have created an opportunity for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to shape the future of electric vehicle charging technology.
About the Role
As part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you’ll design and develop embedded software for power conversion and advanced EV charging systems, collaborating with electronics, controls, and systems engineers at every stage—from concept to production.
This technically challenging yet collaborative role offers significant autonomy, making it ideal for engineers passionate about solving complex safety-critical challenges in a fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for next-gen EV charging products.
- Write low-level firmware for embedded microcontrollers in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with power electronics and control systems.
- Manage the full software development lifecycle—conception, validation, and production release.
- Debug embedded systems using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and debuggers.
- Participate in software architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical design reviews.
- Develop software for communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, ISO 15118, OCPP).
- Produce detailed technical documentation and software specifications.
- Support verification, validation, and testing activities.
- Drive continuous improvement of software development processes and industry standards.
