Data and Firmware Engineer

Are you passionate about fighting climate change? Do you want to work on creating a world where everyone can breathe clean air? At Breathe, we believe an electrified future is key to achieving this, which is why we are building battery technology to help brands do more with the power they have.

Our physics-based battery management software helps some of the world's largest and most iconic automotive and consumer electronics brands deliver products with faster charging, longer life and zero compromise on safety. Put simply, we make batteries better. And we want you to join us.

What you will be doing

This is an exciting time to join Breathe. You will be enabling us to scale the development and delivery of cutting-edge products that will be used by some of the world's most recognised brands in automotive and consumer electronics.

We are looking for an experienced engineer to help to enable us to scale rapidly. You’ll work with experts in a variety of teams to understand their pain points, which you’ll resolve by developing software that improves the testing systems in our lab as well as systems which manage the data it produces. You’ll work on embedded systems and our proprietary hardware to enable the battery testing team to run a wider variety of tests and reliably deliver data to the rest of the company in near real-time. Joining at this stage in our journey will give you the opportunity to have a say in the architecture of the software and hardware components that allow all of the above to happen.

This is a unique opportunity for someone to drive meaningful commercial outcomes for both Breathe and our customers as we look to accelerate the electrification of everything. We'll intentionally support opportunities for you to develop, be that courses, conferences, mentorship or something else.
