We are offering an internship for a Full Stack Developer to join our team developing cutting-edge Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role combines modern web development with hardware control systems, making it perfect for a developer with an electrical/electronics engineering background who wants to bridge the gap between software and physical systems.
You will develop the software that not only powers our customer-facing platforms but also directly controls and monitors our battery storage hardware. This is a unique opportunity to work across the entire technology stack while contributing to the clean energy transition.
Responsibilities
Backend & Cloud Architecture (Primary Focus)
* Design and develop scalable microservices architecture for our cloud-based energy platform
* Build robust APIs for real-time data collection, system monitoring, and performance optimisation
* Implement event-driven systems to handle high-frequency data streams from BESS
* Develop data pipelines for analytics, predictive maintenance, and system optimisation
* Ensure high availability, security, and performance of cloud infrastructure
Hardware Integration & Control Systems
* Develop software interfaces to control and monitor battery energy storage hardware
* Implement communication protocols (Modbus, CAN bus, RS485, MQTT) for hardware integration
* Create real-time monitoring and control systems for battery management
* Build firmware integration layers and handle over-the-air (OTA) updates
* Develop safety-critical software systems with appropriate fail-safes and error handling
Frontend Development
* Build intuitive user interfaces for system monitoring, control, and analytics
* Develop customer-facing dashboards showing real-time system performance
* Create mobile-responsive applications for field technicians and customers
* Implement data visualisation tools for energy flow, system health, and performance metrics
System Integration & DevOps
* Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to define software requirements
* Implement CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices
* Ensure compliance with energy industry standards and safety regulations
* Support commissioning and deployment of systems in the field
