Your tasks

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Embedded Electronics Engineer to develop and scale Skycharge’s autonomous charging systems for drones and robots.

You’ll design, program, and optimize the embedded intelligence behind our charging platforms — managing power control, communication, and safety — to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that keep autonomous fleets running 24/7.

This is a key technical role in a small, dynamic team, perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software and wants to see their work deployed in the real world.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop embedded software for microcontrollers, including real-time applications for Skycharge’s next-generation of drone and robot charging systems
• Implement firmware for power management, communication and system control
• Design, prototype and validate high power analog and power electronics circuits, including MOSFET gate drivers and precision current/voltage sensing.
• Design and layout high-current PCBs, optimizing for efficiency, thermal management, EMI reduction and production readiness.
• Conduct system-level testing, debugging and validation, including communication protocols such as PMBus, CAN, UART and PLC.
• Support testing, validation and field deployments of new firmware versions
• Maintain high-quality technical documentation and version control
• Contribute to the architecture and roadmap of next-generation charging platforms

What You Bring

• Master’s Degree in Electronics Engineering or Embedded Software Engineering or related field
• Minimum 2–5+ years of experience in embedded software development
• Proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers (e.g. STM32, ESP32, NXP, or similar) and FreeRTOS, including task scheduling and inter-task communication.
• Experience with communication protocols (CAN, UART, RS485, Modbus, Ethernet, etc.)
• Proven expertise in high-current DC electronics, including MOSFETs, gate drivers and power stage design.
• Ability to work independently and take end-to-end ownership of your modules.
• Experience with GIT code versioning.

Nice to Have:

• Background in power electronics, robotics or drone systems
• Experience with DroneCAN communication protocols
• Familiarity with CE certification and EMC compliance processes
• Experience with backend integration for IoT systems, ideally using AWS IoT Core and related cloud services.

Our offerings include:

• Joining a thriving technology startup in Europe with promising growth potential;
• Being entrusted with responsibility and autonomy to make your own decisions;
• Access to cutting-edge technology and equipment;
• The ability to directly impact our success;
• Our headquarters are situated in Berlin, Germany, one of Europe's most vibrant startup hubs, and in Trento, Italy, in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO Word Heritage site.
