About The Role
A fantastic opportunity to join a team at the forefront of fuel cell development to play your part in powering the hydrogen future.
As a Software & Controls Engineer within the Product Development team, you will be responsible for developing embedded control strategies and designing, implementing, and maintaining firmware using C (embedded systems) and C# (PC applications). You will support the full product development lifecycle, from early-stage prototypes through to production-ready products, following a robust and structured development process.
You will apply first-principles engineering knowledge and system-level understanding to develop model-based control strategies. An appreciation of fuel cell electrochemistry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and electrical system behaviour is desirable to enable robust control system design and simulation-based development.
In this role, you will undertake hands-on validation and verification activities on physical hardware, enabling effective debugging, root-cause analysis, and performance optimisation at both component and system levels. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable, high-quality software solutions that meet product and customer requirements.
