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 just launched Candela C-8, the first electric boat intended for high volume production. We are also venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-30 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.

Who are you?

You need to be an embedded systems expert and have experience in multiple disciplines within the field. Writing low level drivers for obscure communications protocols or creating a boot loader for a MCU should be second nature to you. If you need to debug a malfunctioning motor driver or implement a Kalman filter that shouldn’t be a problem either. RTOS is nothing new to you (and you could probably create it from scratch if we just gave you the time). If you think in C that’s a plus and will aid in the communication with the rest of the embedded software team.

To be successful in the role you need:

- Minimum 5 years’ experience in the field of embedded systems
- Minimum master’s degree in relevant field
- Experience in Safety critical systems
- Experience in working with commonly used communication protocols
- Embedded software architecture design
- Very proficient in C, C++
- RTOS experience

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 - work is hard but fun.

We are a 50-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 and production facility in Gåshaga, Lidingö. 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 possible. Kindly note that we cannot process applications sent via mail.

We welcome the opportunity to meet you!
