Voltpost Inc is actively seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our dynamic product engineering team. We are looking for candidates who possess a proven track record of successfully working on intricate embedded electronics products that have been mass-produced and supported in the field.

The ideal candidate should be a seasoned expert in firmware and software engineering principles. Additionally, they should feel at ease when it comes to developing entirely new hardware products. We value individuals who have hands-on experience taking product concepts from ideation through production; who are adept at implementing improvements at scale, and managing products throughout their lifecycle.

If you are passionate about engineering, possess a deep-rooted fascination for cutting-edge technology, and thrive on the opportunity to develop new solutions that will make a positive impact for people and our planet, we would love to hear from you.

About Voltpost:

The Voltpost mission is to decarbonize mobility by democratizing charging access. We reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by rapidly deploying chargers that accelerate the electric mobility transition. Our goal is to empower people and communities to take climate action. We do this by retrofitting lampposts into Voltposts, a modular and upgradable charging platform. This provides people convenient and affordable charging access while reducing the cost, timing, and footprint of chargers. Our vision is to be a transformative force in the climate movement by making charging as common as lampposts.

This position is in-person in San Francisco, CA, reporting to the Senior Director of Hardware Engineering.

Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

Responsibilities:

· Design, develop, and debug embedded firmware for our products, ensuring high-quality and reliable performance.

· Collaborate with hardware engineers, mechanical engineers, and other stakeholders to define firmware requirements, debug prototypes, and validate new features.

· Develop and integrate device drivers, bootloaders, hardware abstraction layers (HAL)and complete applications to enable seamless hardware functionality.

· Perform board bring-up and verification, including writing and executing test plans.

· Conduct code reviews, identify bugs or inefficiencies, and propose and implement necessary improvements.

· Collaborate with the quality assurance team to identify and resolve firmware-related issues during testing, production, and service life phases.

Minimum Qualifications:

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field or the equivalent in experience with evidence of exceptional ability
