Embedded Software Engineer - Deep Tech (Wireless Energy Delivery)

Embedded Software Engineer

Lasers. Drones. Space Tech. Real Hardware. No Boring Firmware Here.

If you love embedded software, real hardware, lasers, drones, space tech, control systems, physics problems, and the kind of engineering that actually makes you lean forward in your chair, this one is going to get your attention

.We are working with an exciting deep tech company based in inner Sydney that is building wireless energy delivery through light

.
Yes, actual ligh

t.
Think laser systems, optical hardware, power conversion, embedded control, telemetry, safety critical systems, and the software layer that helps make next generation energy transfer possib

le.This is not another “maintain some old firmware stack and update tickets forever” ro

le.This is hands on embedded engineering inside a fast growing company building something genuinely n

ew.The team is small now, highly technical, and expected to double over the next 12 months. That means you will not be a tiny cog in a massive machine. You will have real ownership, real influence, and the chance to help shape core embedded software architecture from the ground

up.And yes, there is equity on the tab

le.
What You’ll Be Workin

g OnYou will own and build embedded software across real hardware systems, from low level microcontroller control through to high level state management, telemetry, safety systems, and middlew

are.You will be working close to the metal, close to the hardware, and close to some very clever humans across software, electronics, optical, mechanical, and systems engineer

ing.This is where code meets phys

ics.This is where C and C++ meet las

ers.This is where firmware has to behave properly because the hardware is not theoretical, it is sitting right there in the

lab.What You’ll

OwnYou will develop, validate, and deploy real time embedded software on real hardw

are.You will work across laser alignment, safety critical systems, power conversion, telemetry, and state machine cont

rol.You will write low level drivers for microcontroller peripherals and communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, I2C, and U

ART.You will help architect core middleware for communication, state management, telemetry, and robust error handl

ing.You will build automated test systems and CI/CD pipelines to support rapid iteration on hardw

are.You will contribute to foundational embedded software architecture decisions that need to scale as the company gr

ows.You will collaborate with hardware, optics, systems, and mechanical engineers to solve complex real world probl

ems.In plain English, you will help build the software nervous system for a next generation energy platf

orm.Not bad for a day

job.
What We’re Lookin

g For
You will probably have 3 plus years of hands on embedded software engineering exper

ience.You should be strong with C and C++ for real time microcontroller sy

stems.This needs to be real embedded experience, not desktop C++ dressed up as fir

mware.You should understand microcontroller peripherals and communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, CAN, and

UART.You should be comfortable with modern software engineering practices including CI/CD, automated testing, version control, and proper development work

flows.You should like working with real har

dware.You should be happy getting into the lab, testing, tuning, debugging, breaking things, fixing things, and making systems b

etter.You should enjoy owne

rship.You should want to build, not just mai

ntain.
Nice

to HaveRobotics experience would be bri

lliant.Aerospace or avionics experience would also be highly re

levant.Experience with control systems, electronics, functional safety, or safety critical embedded systems would be a stron

g plus.Hands on lab experience tuning and optimising control algorithms on real hardware would be very

useful.If you have worked in drones, aerospace, robotics, defence tech, energy tech, hardware startups, optical systems, autonomous systems, or anything where software meets serious hardware, this could be a very stro

ng fit.
Why This Role Is D

ifferentBecause you are not joining a sleepy corporate engineeri

ng team.You are joining a company building something ambitious, physical, technical, and genuinely f

rontier.The team is still small enough for your work to matter ev

ery day.The company is growing quickly and expects to double in size over the next 12

months.The technology is e

xciting.The lab is properly dec

ked out.The hardware

is real.The problems a

re hard.The mission

is big.And the opportunity is early enough that equity could actually mean so

mething.This is the kind of role for an embedded engineer who wants to look back in a few years

and say:“I helped build that from the earl

y days.”

LocationInne

r Sydney.This is a hands on hardware role, so you will need to be comfortable being onsite r

egularly.There is some flexibility, but this is not a remote firmware role where the hardware lives on someone els

e’s desk.The lab, the lasers, the hardware, and the team are i

n Sydney.

A$170,000Equity: around 0.1%, with a standard 4 year vestin

Who Thi

s Will SuitThis will suit an embedded software engineer who wants to do meaningful, hands on, deeply tech

nical work.Someone who likes

C and C++.Someone who enjoys real ti

me systems.Someone who wants to build on rea

l hardware.Someone who would rather solve hard physics adjacent engineering problems than sit in meetings about roadmap

alignment.Someone who sees lasers, drones, space tech, power systems, and embedded control

and thinks:“Yep. That sounds like my kind

of chaos.

”
Final WordIf you are an embedded software engineer who wants to work on something genuinely exciting in Sydney, this is one of those rare roles where the pitch is ac

tually real.Re

al hardware.

Real lasers.Real

engineering.Rea

l ownership.

Real equity.A team that is g

rowing fast.And a mission that sounds more like the future than another SaaS product pretending to

be exciting
