Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.

By combining sensors, computers and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft fly above the water, reaching speeds and range previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.

After launching Candela C-7, Europe’s currently best-selling electric boat, we launched Candela C-8 in August 2021, the first electric boat intended for high volume production. We are also venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-12 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm.

We are now looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our R&D Team and support Candela’s growth ambitions.

Background:

Embedded systems are the core of Candles foiling technology and electric propulsion system. As all the software is done in-house, from the flight controller to the user interface and App. The flight controller consists of a microcontroller running a RTOS and the software is written in C. The flight controller is communicating with several motor controllers and sensors around the boat via CAN-bus.

The UI is running on a custom Linux platform and is written in Python with C bindings for graphical instructions and other low-level routines. The UI is connected to the internet via a GSM module thus making all components updatable OTA, including the flight controller.

It is expected that the candidate has practical experience with most of the above programming language and technologies. And to be a good match for our team we believe that you have a genuine interest for- and competence within safety critical embedded system design. You need to have experience and skills in programming (C, C++ and Python) and from working with Linux/Unix and Git.

You will:

- Contribute to the existing embedded SW code base
- Design the software architecture for new embedded platforms
- Set up system testing and integration
- Concept Prototyping
- In-boat trouble shooting and testing
- Working with the rest of the software team to ensure that developments follow established processes.


As a Senior Embedded Developer your work will be focused on delivering safe and robust software to ensure that the craft is reliable and our costumers are safe when handling our boats.

To be successful in the role:

We are looking for someone who works well in a small team with both independent and collaborative projects. To succeed in this role, we believe that you have:

- Minimum 5 years’ experience in the field of embedded systems
- Minimum master’s degree in relevant field
- Experience in Safety critical systems
- Very proficient in C, C++
- Experience with RTOS for embedded systems
- Experience in working with commonly used communication protocols
- Experience in designing embedded software architecture design
- Experience in the automotive, med-tech or aviation industry is considered a merit


Join a stellar team

By bringing together some of the world’s brightest researchers and engineers, we are pushing the boundaries of marine transportation. We take great pride in building engagement within our teams. Our internal motto is “with a revolutionary spirit and kindness”, which translates into an open and honest work environment.

We are a 100-strong, multinational team of experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, structural engineering work and production to build the next generation of waterborne transport.

This is a full-time position at our Headquarter Frihamnen, Stockholm. Working language is English, if you also know Swedish it will be a benefit for yourself, but it is not a prerequisite for the role.

Application

The selection and interview process is ongoing, so send your application in English as soon as it’s ready. Kindly note that we cannot process applications sent via email.

We welcome the opportunity to meet you!
