Location: 630 Wharfedale Rd, Winnersh, Wokingham RG41 5TP (potentially hybrid)Salary: £60,000 - £70,000We are a fast-growing CleanTech business on a mission to disrupt the heating industry with our innovative low carbon boiler technology. Decarbonisation of domestic heating is a critical step towards achieving Net Zero emissions in the UK. Heating represents over 30% of all carbon emissions in the country.Our cutting-edge ZEB® (Zero Emission Boiler) technology is a plug 'n' play replacement for traditional gas or oil boilers. It uses electricity to charge ultra-high density thermal storage when energy prices and grid carbon intensity are low. Our IoT technology and cloud-based algorithms optimise the ZEB to minimise cost and carbon emissions. The ZEB operates like a regular boiler, is easy to install, and significantly reduces carbon emissions from heating.We have gained recognition as one of the fastest-growing and most exciting CleanTech scale-ups in the UK, and we have been featured on the Everything Electric Show. Visit our website at tepeo.com to learn more about us.About the roleAt tepeo, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and valued. We are recruiting for a senior embedded systems engineer with a good understanding of real time system aspects, digital electronics, and some elements of analogue (sensing and control) electronics.We are an inclusive team and committed to building a team that represents a variety of perspectives and experiences, and we believe that diversity makes us stronger.RequirementsThe role
  • Full-time employee to start at the earliest available date
  • Location: Office (potentially hybrid)
  • Designing, developing, and refining the ZEB firmware, in collaboration with other teams (especially with electronics & product design engineers, data scientists, cloud & mobile app developers).
  • Supporting activities like the wakeup testing of new ZEB electronics, experiments & trials for future product features, automation of manufacturing & product testing.
  • Supporting product certification and compliance testing. This support may involve the design & development of custom, even experimental, firmware versions to assist other tepeo teams (e.g. electronics, data science).
About youEssential
  • Ability to design, develop & test C source code for real time embedded systems, with version control and automated testing.
  • Experience developing microcontroller software on ‘bare metal’ and in RTOS (ideally FreeRTOS) environments with limited processor resources.
  • Experience in working with digital & analogue interfaces and peripherals in real time contexts (e.g. ADC/DAC, SPI, UART, DMA, timers, hardware interrupts, communication with external specialised ICs via custom protocols etc.).
  • Excellent analytical and problem solving skills in the context of complex systems that span multiple disciplines.
  • Excellent communication skills for effective interactions with often very different, technical and non-technical, teams.
Preferable
  • Familiarity with ESP32 and Microchip PIC, or similar, microcontrollers and their internal hardware.
  • Experience with some IoT & cloud computing concepts (ideally AWS IoT Core & SDK), especially the use of device shadows & remote actions (jobs).
  • Familiarity with communication protocol standards such as OpenTherm, Modbus, TCP/IP.
  • Understanding of some data science & control theory aspects (e.g. sensor data conversions, interpolation, adaptive algorithms, closed control loops).
  • Understanding of some Energy Sector aspects (e.g. electricity metering, grid frequency monitoring & fast frequency response, grid independence).
