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:
