At Voxdale we're looking for a Hardware & Embedded Systems Engineer to join our team.

The Role

You write firmware that ends up in real products: IoT sensors, connected devices, mechatronic systems, for clients across energy, industry, mobility, and deep tech. You own the full embedded stack: from microcontroller bring‑up and protocol implementation to cloud connectivity and a working prototype. You bridge hardware and software on projects where both matter, working closely with mechanical engineers, electronics designers, and clients.

What You’ll Do

Develop and own firmware for connected devices (ESP32, STM32, Nordic), from first boot to working prototype
Implement and debug digital communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, BLE, WiFi, NB‑IoT) across client projects
Integrate embedded systems with cloud backends and APIs
Collaborate directly with hardware engineers on bring‑up, validation, and hardware–software integration
Set up development environments and tooling (Linux, Docker) that the wider project team can build on

What Makes This Role Different

You’ll own real products, not tickets. You’ll be the firmware lead on client projects, from first firmware to a working connected prototype.
Hardware and software, together. You won’t be siloed in a software team. You’ll sit next to the mechanical and electronics engineers and work across the full system.
Variety over repetition. Our projects span energy, mobility, industry, and deep tech. No two projects are the same stack.

Required

What You Bring

Solid C/C++ for embedded systems, you’re comfortable writing production firmware, not just examples
Hands‑on experience with microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, Nordic, or similar)
Working knowledge of digital protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN) and wireless connectivity (BLE, WiFi, NB‑IoT)
Comfort in a Linux development environment, you set it up, you maintain it
Ability to work independently across hardware and software boundaries

Nice to have

Python for test scripts or automation tooling
AWS or other cloud setup for IoT data pipelines
Docker for dev environment or build tooling
PLC programming or industrial automation experience

Mindset

Eagerness to learn new tools and approaches
Comfort with ambiguity, hardware projects rarely go exactly to plan
Ability to work independently while staying connected to the team across offices

Our Values in This Role

Owning It: You’re the firmware lead on your projects. When something doesn’t work, you dig in. When it ships, you’ve earned it.
Inventiveness: Client briefs don’t come with a spec sheet for the embedded stack. You’ll scope it, choose the approach, and build something that fits.
Pioneering: We’re expanding our electronics and embedded capability deliberately. This role is part of that investment. You’ll help define how we do embedded engineering at Voxdale.
Freedom and Responsibility: You decide how to structure your work, which tools to reach for, when to pair with a colleague and when to go deep solo. You also own your deliverables.
