What can you be part of?
ECO STOR AS, owned by Å Energy, is a Norwegian clean-technology start-up with offices in Oslo, Sweden, and the UK. We are a world-leading supplier of second-life battery storage systems with ongoing projects in the Nordics, and a pioneer in the development of innovative energy storage solutions enabling the reuse of electric vehicle batteries, as well as a catalyst for greater adoption of energy storage in the ongoing electrification and renewable energy transition. We are a fast-growing company, and we are looking for a new member to our team who is eager to become a key resource and take the lead, responsibility, and ownership for our in-house developed software.
The company has recently secured several contracts for system deployment and is looking for new employees who would like to be part of a team that will help to shape the future of renewable energy.
The role of Senior Software Engineer at ECO STOR
We are now looking for a Senior Software Engineer for our Oslo office, who wants to work in a company at the forefront of renewable energy, developing software for our hardware and software solutions.In this role, you will complement our team of developers and ensure a smooth and efficient development process of our software platform comprising:
- Master Battery Management System (MBMS) managing the various batteries and bi-directional battery chargers (Inverters)
- Energy Management System (EMS) running algorithms for deciding optimal charge and time for charge and discharge of the batteries in the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
- Internal and external front-end User Interface and back-end database for backend data management.
- Battery Interface Units (BIU) interfacing second life battery, as battery packs from electric vehicles, busses and trucks, and their original Battery Management System (BMS)
- Various Interfaces to sensors, actuators and 3rd party systems.
In our platform, the various applications and nodes are interacting using an internal messaging system (MQTT).
We are mainly looking for developers to work on our MBMS and EMS SW is running on an industrial ARM-based PC in a dockerized Linux environment. Both softwares are currently written in Python but in the future, we are considering migrating to compiled languages like C++. Another important part of our platform is the BIU. This is an in-house developed microcontroller-based control board running an application software in an RTOS environment. The application software is written in C and interfacing the BIUs is a central part of the MBMS.
The people you will be working with are the engineers of ECO STOR, a small group of enthusiastic problem-solvers. Though the development of the software platform will be your main responsibility, there will be lots of other tasks that will come up, both software-related and others, that you can take on based on your skills and desires.
