Job description

Disclaimer: This position has been opened up in advance. Practically this means that we'll only hire our Sr. Software Engineer in Q12025. Theoretically, there's a likelihood of a change of plans which could result in not hiring a Sr. Software Engineer eventually.

Climate change is real and we need to act fast. Our purpose is to restore the carbon balance in our atmosphere. We believe it’s important to have a positive impact on society, the economy, and the climate. Are you ready to join us on our mission? 🌎

 

Role

Let’s start off by giving you some charcoal sketches on our team. Currently, the Carbyon team consists of 44 individuals (and counting!), coming from 12 different countries. Overarchingly, you could say there are two main teams. On the one hand we have the team working on the sorbent (the material that adsorbs the carbon dioxide). On the other hand we have the machine development team, which essentially creates the machine to ultimately adsorb and thus captures the carbon dioxide.

Within the machine development team we have different competencies (varying from Mechanical to Electrical Engineering and from Control Engineering to Thermal). Also, and that’s where you’ll sit, there’s the Software Team (thanks, Captain Obvious!) which consists of 5 people (Robert, Richard, Yvo, Kenny & Jurriaan). Like every team, the software team also has strengths and pitfalls. We are a small group with many different software competencies, like data science, cloud backend, and embedded. While this is a strength, the diversity is also a risk for knowledge islands. So we are looking for someone who can cope with this properly.

While our machine is high tech, the software complexity isn’t the biggest challenge. The biggest challenge is to design the software with many unknowns. We are pioneering with new technology, in a new market, so we need to anticipate future insights while preventing ongoing design changes cause degradation of software quality. 

Looking at the current stage Carbyon is in, you could say you’ll join us in a role which enables you to build software that controls our machine, collects data and connects it to the cloud. All of that in a greenfield environment.

Responsibilities
We’re aware of the fact that the above is an extremely high-over description. While this role is pretty fluid, and requires as a strong entrepreneurial spirit, we’ve tried to capture your responsibilities a bit more statically. These can be found below.

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of machine control functionality. This includes the implementation of control loops and data acquisition. 
  • Create a robust implementation of IoT communication to connect to a cloud environment of Carbyon.  
  • Collaborate with other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, chemical, process and system engineering) to improve your understanding of the details of the software requirements. 
  • Develop an extensive testing environment to validate changes before hardware deployment.  
  • Apply good software development practices for software evolution. 
  • Contribute to a culture of quality through automated testing, code reviews and actively obtaining feedback. 
  • Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry trends relevant to embedded software engineering. 


Why join us?

We are a purpose-driven team of international engineers, researchers, and business professionals. We do not get easily discouraged and we join forces to ensure our dream comes true. At the heart of it all, there are people inspired by our purpose: reversing climate change!

We offer you to

  • Make a real difference in one of the biggest challenges of our time - reversing climate change.
  • Become an integral part of our fun, diverse and growing multicultural team.
  • Experience the dynamic and exciting environment of a startup - where there is never a dull moment.
  • Take ownership and actively participate in the decision-making process.
  • Share and implement your own ideas - we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.
  • Enjoy flexible working hours and the freedom to manage your work effectively - we trust you.
  • Join the daily team walks at the inspiring High Tech Campus.
  • Engage in monthly team events and activities such as jeu de boules or barbecues, fostering a strong sense of community.
  • Receive a permanent contract and enjoy our recently improved attractive benefits package.

Job requirements

Our ideal candidate is someone who
Brings strong teamwork skills, has a high level of human-awareness and is able to apply self-management. Furthermore, you’ll bring; 

  • Either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering.
  • Expertise in machine control software engineering.
  • Strong experience in designing and implementing of robust software solutions.
  • At least 10 years of experience in integration into IoT platforms.
  • Strong affinity with machine development.
  • High level understanding of physics-driven concepts.
  • Excellent programming skills in multiple programming languages, among which Rust, C/C++ and Python.  
  • Broad experience with communication protocols (REST, MQTT, CAN, Modbus, etc). 
  • Knowledge of in-memory databases. 
  • Understanding of embedded operating systems (Linux, Zephyr, …). 
  • Relevant experience with remote software updates. 
  • General knowledge of cloud technologies.
  • Experience in setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines. Comfortable in using Git and CMake or PlatformIO.
