The Role

Our Mission We develop products that accelerate the rapid adoption of renewable energy in the home. Our flagship Smart Panel is the first true evolution for the traditional home electric panel, harnessing enhanced technology for metering, monitoring, and control. An expanded product suite of intelligent, integrated solutions radically lowers the cost and complexity of energy upgrades—including solar, batteries, and EVs—empowering homeowners to be active, resilient, and informed players in the energy market.

The Team Our R&D Infrastructure team is a multi-skilled group able to create solutions for a wide variety of technological needs. Our skillset includes dedicated electrical, mechanical, fabrication, and software expertise. This enables rapid development of prototypes, experiment platforms, and hardware/software automation/monitoring frameworks. We value creative approaches to solving problems and encourage building up new skills along the way. Our work accelerates R&D and helps many other teams in hardware and software engineering on a daily basis.

The Role As a software engineer on the R&D Infrastructure Team, you will craft mission-critical internal platforms enabling control, monitoring, and analysis of various experimental and test efforts. Your creative solutions will weave sensors, metrics, and logs into an accessible framework for capturing and understanding physical measurements. While exploring concepts from microcontroller analog sampling to cloud services, your work will have a daily impact on current and future products.

Potential Projects:

• Develop and maintain flexible internally-facing web and backend applications for essential system management and fleet service tasks
• Assist with development of reliable data collection, processing, exploration, and presentation for long-term hardware test monitoring and alerts
• Assist with fast-response control and monitoring software for prototyping and short-term hardware/software research efforts
• Provide general assistance to other teams where cross-functional knowledge is needed
• Develop useful interfaces and drivers for physical test hardware and integrate incoming data sources with our monitoring and analysis platforms

About You Required Qualifications

• Professional experience developing, deploying, and maintaining applications written in Python (required), C, Rust, Node/Typescript, and/or related technologies
• Experience developing, deploying, and maintaining web and database applications
• Experience developing functional front ends for internally-facing applications
• Experience building containerized applications
• Experience setting up and managing Linux-based systems, complete familiarity with common administration tasks, shell commands, package management etc.
