Senior Firmware Engineer (London)

Hypervolt is at the forefront of the energy transition and is dedicated to providing innovative and reliable EV charging and grid management solutions. We launched in 2021 with the bold ambition to accelerate EV adoption by relentlessly focusing on the customer experience, great software, and beautifully designed hardware.

• Design, develop, and optimise firmware for bare-metal and RTOS-based embedded platforms.
• Debug and troubleshoot firmware using logic analysers, oscilloscopes, and protocol analysers.
• Implement high-performance, efficient C/C++ code, ensuring reliability and maintainability.
• Work with common MCU peripherals such as I2C, SPI, Ethernet, CAN, RS-485, and UART, integrating them into real-time embedded systems.
• Develop firmware optimised for mass production, considering scalability, manufacturability, and long-term reliability.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers, test teams, and manufacturing to ensure seamless integration and production readiness.
• Optimise system performance through efficient memory, power management, and real-time processing techniques.
• Ensure firmware quality through code reviews, testing, and debugging on hardware.
• Maintain detailed documentation of firmware architecture, design decisions, and best practices.

• Proven experience in firmware development for bare-metal or RTOS-based embedded systems.
• Strong debugging skills, including experience using logic analysers, oscilloscopes, and protocol analysers.
• Proficiency in high-performance C or C++ programming for resource-constrained environments.
• Deep understanding of microcontroller peripherals and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, Ethernet, CAN, RS-485, UART).
• Experience in writing firmware for mass production, considering scalability, robustness, and manufacturability constraints.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and embedded development toolchains.
• Experience with low-power embedded systems and real-time constraints.

• Experience working with the MSPM0 microcontroller family.
• Ability to write test scripts in Python for validation and automation.
• Experience with BLE and WiFi communication protocols.
• Experience with Yocto environment for embedded Linux development.
