Engineering Manager Embedded
Qwello, Munich, Bavaria
The role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Embedded team - the team that designs, builds and ships Qwello's AC charging stations, from circuit board to firmware to the production line. This is not a pure software management role. Your team of 6-8 spans embedded software, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, and your scope runs from the firmware release train for thousands of chargers in the field, through EMC labs and Eichrecht certification audits, to the contract manufacturer's factory floor.
Our firmware is built on embedded Linux (Yocto) and EVerest, the open source EV charging stack we actively contribute to upstream. We are working with Rust, Python, C & C++. You will not be the deepest specialist in any one of these - your tech leads are - but you must be technical enough to represent the team when they are not in the room, to challenge estimates, and to make trade-offs between firmware, hardware and regulatory constraints with confidence and competence.
