Software Engineering Manager

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 Software Engineering Manager to join our R&D Team and support Candela’s growth ambitions.

Background:

Embedded systems and control engineering are cores of Candelas foiling technology and electric propulsion system. The full software stack is developed in-house - all the way from: signal processing, flight controller, OTA capabilities and to the user interface and App.

To be successful leading the Software Engineering team you need to have experience of various types of SW development; real time systems in safety-critical control applications, as well as front-end user experience. We are a growing team - therefore it is critical in the role to be able to do a well-balanced adaptation of SW development methods for safety critical systems. We believe that you have experience of both system development in automotive, med-tech or aviation-industry, but also from smaller scale system development where speed and time to market is critical.

You will:

Be responsible for the Software Engineering team output and deliverables in terms of performance, quality and speed

Secure that the Software Engineering team have adequate resources to deliver according to target, in terms of competence, bandwidth and equipment

Be responsible for system architecture, testing and integration

Improve and monitor software development process to assure software quality and functional safety

Be the interface in discussions regarding software engineering with internal stakeholders as well as suppliers

Coordinate and define the different activities within your team, according to the priorities and competences of each one of the team members

work with competence development of the team as well as managing appraisals and salary reviews

To be successful in the role you probably:

Have a university degree in relevant field

Have over 5 years of experience leading engineering teams

Have substantial experience from embedded SW development for high availability/safety applications

Have substantial experience of different SW development methods, processes and tools

Have experience from the automotive, med-tech or aviation industry

Have experience of RTOS, CAN, C, Python and Linux in controls applications

Have experience of UI implementation

Are a strong team player and an excellent people manager

Have the ability to stay thorough and focused even in a high paced work environment

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