Firmware Engineer – IoT Connected Smart Meter

Firmware Engineer – IoT Connected Smart Meter

Circle Gas Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark

Are you ready to make a real impact on people's quality of life? Come join the CircleTech firmware team at SOHO/Kødbyen in central Copenhagen, where we develop firmware for current and future generations of our low-power IoT gas meters, using cutting-edge technology and tools.

CircleTech Denmark is part of Circle Gas Ltd. (www.circlegas.co.uk), which has been providing clean cooking solutions on a pay-as-you-go basis with micro payments in Kenya and Tanzania for the past five years. CircleTech Denmark was recently established to kickstart a new development hub focusing on firmware engineering and data science, developing firmware for current and future meters – preparing for scaling up from 425,000 to over 2,000,000 customers in the near future.

Join a Young and Highly Motivated Team

Our firmware team is young (not necessarily in age) and has been around for about a year. We currently consist of three developers but are expanding and looking for our next colleague.

Given the team size, cooperation is very close in an informal and collaborative atmosphere. The team works closely with the co-located data science team and the meter engineering team in Kenya and Tanzania under the joint management of the Head of Device Engineering.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and document IoT gas meter firmware
• Optimize code for size and power usage
• Integrate with AWS solutions
• Participate in the design of future solutions

Travel for interaction with customers and teams in other locations is an option.

Your Profile

A typical candidate will have:

• A background in electronics, automation, or software development.
• 5+ years of experience working with C and C++
• An affinity for software.
• Energetic with an open mind.
• Enjoy coding – probably with a few private projects under the belt.
• Fluent in written and spoken English

Experience with some of these technologies would be a plus:

• GCC, Git, CMake, Python, Jenkins
• FreeRTOS
• MQTT
• BLE

If this sparks your interest, reach out to or send your resume to the Head of Device Engineering, Peter Tjell, at peter.tjell@circlegas.co.uk.

About Circle Gas

Circle Gas is a fast-growing pay-as-you-go clean cooking business making gas cooking more accessible for urban households in developing countries. We use our own logistics network to install LPG cooking equipment in low-income urban households. Our unique Smart Meter enables customers to use mobile money to pay for gas to cook meal-by-meal, generating daily revenue on a micro-payment basis.

Currently, we have over 1,800 employees operating in Kenya and Tanzania, with more than 425,000 households depending on our clean cooking offering. Our strategic goal is to serve 2 million households by the end of next year in East Africa. The potential can be counted in the tens of millions spread across three continents. We have the ambition, will, funds, and business model to reach this potential – and we need you to be part of this journey

Security, scalability, connectivity, and efficiency are at the core of our cloud-based architecture, where every meter is connected with our AWS-based stack. In a sense, we are connecting and mapping the developing countries.

To support this fantastic journey, we are establishing a technology hub in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here, we are hiring several people to work out of SOHO in the meatpacking district ("Kødbyen") right in the center of Copenhagen in an energetic and inspiring environment. The technology hub is part of Circle Gas Group Technology, and together with our colleagues in Italy, Kenya, and Tanzania, we are building the technology platform upon which this great adventure is built.

We are a diverse and inclusive international company focused on utilizing technology to do good. Combined with a strong business model, we call it "social business."
