Embedded Systems Engineer

Build the firmware of the Voltmaster Controller, the device that steers every installation.

Full-time Software Gistel, Belgium

At Voltmasters the Voltmaster Controller is the heart of every installation: the device that steers batteries, inverters and meters in real time. As an Embedded Systems Engineer you build the firmware that does this reliably and safely, at the edge of the grid.

You work at the intersection of software and hardware, making sure our smart control keeps running even offline and under harsh conditions.

What you will do

  • Develop and maintain the firmware of the Voltmaster Controller.
  • Integrate with hardware such as inverters, batteries and meters via Modbus, MQTT and CAN.
  • Ensure reliable, safe operation at the edge, even during grid disturbances.
  • Optimise performance and memory usage on embedded hardware.
  • Work closely with backend and hardware to build a seamless whole.

What we expect

  • You have experience with embedded development in TypeScript.
  • Knowledge of embedded Linux and communication protocols (Modbus, MQTT, CAN).
  • An affinity for electronics and hardware.
  • You write robust, tested code that has to run reliably for years.
  • An interest in energy or industrial systems is a bonus.

What we offer

At Voltmasters we believe that strong people make the difference. That is why we offer an environment in which you can grow, build and learn.

  • A full-time role in a stimulating environment.
  • A competitive salary package with tailored benefits (such as an internet allowance, meal and eco vouchers).
  • Health insurance.
  • An Apple laptop with a second screen, and a recent iPhone or Android smartphone.
  • A noise-cancelling headset to stay in your flow.
  • All the software you need to do your job well.

Personal development

At Voltmasters there is a strong mindset of continuous growth. Standing still is moving backwards. We encourage everyone to keep learning, experimenting and sharing knowledge.

  • Stay current: every week we set aside time to explore or experiment with new technologies.
  • Learning budget: each year you get an extra budget of €2,000 to invest in personal growth, for books, training or conferences.
  • A healthy balance: we aim for a good work-life balance. No overtime, but flexibility and room to recharge.
  • Learning together: we share knowledge through internal sessions, reviews and team lunches.
  • Autonomy and trust: you get the freedom to learn and grow at your own pace, within a team that strengthens each other.

Extras that will quickly feel familiar

  • Hybrid working: work from home or from our office space in Gistel.
  • Freedom and trust: few rules, lots of responsibility.
  • Small teams, big impact: direct influence on product decisions.
  • Flat structure: no layers of management, just people working together.
  • Daily lunches together and the occasional afterwork.
  • Unlimited drinks and fruit at the office.

We are still small enough to be flexible, but big enough to make an impact.
