Embedded Software Engineer – Electric Propulsion – Marine EV

About the Role

We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join a fast-growing electric marine technology business developing next-generation electric propulsion and energy storage systems.

You will play a key role in developing software that directly impacts real-world product performance, working across the interface of hardware and software within a live R&D environment.

This is a hands-on role in a growing engineering team, offering exposure to full system integration, including propulsion, battery systems, controls, and onboard electronics.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain embedded software for electric propulsion and energy storage systems.
• Work closely with electrical and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration between software and physical hardware.
• Contribute to control logic and system behaviour across propulsion, battery and power electronics systems.
• Support software validation, debugging and troubleshooting across development and test environments.
• Improve performance, efficiency and reliability of embedded systems through iterative development.
• Work alongside mechanical, electrical, controls and integration teams to support overall system development.
• Operate within a fast-paced development environment, contributing to new product development and ongoing system improvements.

Requirements

• BSc/MSc in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechatronics or similar.
• 5–10 years’ experience in Embedded Software Engineering.
• Experience working in R&D or product development environments.
• Strong understanding of embedded systems and real-time software development.
• Experience working with physical hardware and control systems.

Background in one or more of the following:

• Electric vehicles
• Automotive systems
• Aerospace / aviation
• eVTOL
• Battery systems / BMS
• Power electronics / inverters
• Propulsion systems

Ability to work across hardware and software boundaries.

Experience in fast-paced or scale-up engineering environments is beneficial.

Why Join

• Work on cutting-edge electric propulsion technology within a rapidly growing sector.
• Be part of a business moving from R&D into production scale-up.
• Opportunity to work on real-world, high-performance systems rather than isolated software.
• High level of technical ownership and visibility across the product.
• Collaborative, engineering-led environment with strong growth potential.
