We operate one of the world’s largest connected micromobility fleets, with close to 200,000 vehicles across multiple hardware generations, vehicle models and markets – and we will keep scaling significantly in the coming years. As our fleet grows in scale and complexity, firmware reliability, platform architecture, and operational robustness become increasingly critical to the business. Ultimately, your work ensures that every Voi vehicle feels safe, reliable and effortless to use – even after years of real‑world use, rough weather, and everyday wear and tear. We are now looking for a deeply experienced Staff Embedded Engineer to help lead the next generation of our vehicle and IoT platform. In this highly hands-on technical leadership role you will shape the long‑term embedded platform strategy and architecture, and work across teams, suppliers and partners to make sure our vehicles are consistently reliable.
Job Responsibility
Translate rider and operator needs into platform‑level design decisions
Architect and evolve a large‑scale distributed embedded platform spanning vehicle control systems, battery‑powered IoT devices and multi‑MCU/MPU platforms (including Zephyr / Linux‑capable systems)
Develop and scale platforms capable of hosting multiple ML models on‑edge based on computer vision and other sensors
Drive the evolution of fleet‑wide OTA infrastructure, remote diagnostics and observability for hundreds of thousands of devices across 100+ cities in Europe
Lead technical discussions and design reviews with internal teams and external hardware suppliers and manufacturing partners
Improve resilience and recovery mechanisms for remotely deployed systems, including safe rollback strategies and recovery of bricked devices
Drive improvements in CAN‑based vehicle communication, power systems, GNSS and geofencing in dense urban environments, and sensor reliability, including Bluetooth and NFC user interactions
Raise the bar for engineering excellence across embedded and firmware engineering, mentoring others, refining CI/CD, testing and release processes, and introducing best‑in‑class development practices
Champion the strategic and pragmatic adoption of Generative AI tools to increase engineering effectiveness while protecting code quality and minimising technical debt
Requirements
Extensive experience building and operating embedded / firmware systems in real‑world environments at scale (ideally globally distributed connected device fleets)
Strong skills in embedded C/C++ development and low‑power, real‑time embedded systems
Deep understanding of firmware architecture, hardware / software integration and distributed IoT systems
Proven experience debugging complex field issues across firmware, hardware, manufacturing and connectivity layers
Strong experience with embedded communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART and BLE
Nice to have
STM32‑based or other heterogeneous embedded architectures, and modern RTOS platforms such as Zephyr
Secure boot, TrustZone, TPMs or other embedded security architectures, as well as Embedded Linux systems
GNSS, geofencing, sensor fusion or other edge‑processing systems, and battery‑powered devices with a focus on power optimisation
Operating large, globally distributed IoT fleets across varied connectivity environments, including recovering from real‑world operational failures, factory issues or large‑scale fleet incidents
