About Us

Anode exists to accelerate the monumental shift away from the supersystem of extraction, processing, and burning of fossil fuels—toward lightweight capture and consumption from entirely renewable sources. We’re building scalable, silent, flexible, and efficient mobile energy infrastructure to power the zero-emission future. Our mobile battery energy storage systems (mBESS) represent a new category of clean, deployable power.

Position Overview

Anode is seeking a Senior Embedded Controls Engineer to join our firmware and embedded controls team as a foundational hire. In this role, you will be responsible for implementing vehicle-level and system-level control strategies for our mobile battery energy storage platform, translating high-level functional requirements into production-ready embedded control software.

You will develop control software for system ECUs (electronic control units) that coordinate power conversion, energy management, and battery system operation across our mBESS platform. These controllers manage inverter systems, DC-DC converters, and distributed battery management, orchestrating subsystem behaviors to deliver safe, efficient energy storage and delivery. This is a hands‑on implementation role, taking feature descriptions through the full development lifecycle from prototype validation to production‑intent code, primarily in a Simulink embedded environment with additional work in C / C++.

Key Responsibilities

• Controls Implementation : Translate high-level functional descriptions into full-featured control software for system ECUs, managing coordination of inverters, DC-DC converters, and distributed battery management systems.
• Embedded Firmware Development : Develop and deploy Simulink-based embedded firmware for mBESS system controllers.
• Prototyping to Production : See features through prototype development, bench & field testing, and ultimately production deployment.
• Communication & Integration : Develop and integrate communication protocols (CANbus, Automotive Ethernet, and similar) to enable inter-system coordination between controllers, inverters, BMS, and external interfaces.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with hardware, systems, and integration teams to support system bring‑up, troubleshooting, and validation—contributing to prototyping, harness builds, and test bench setup as needed.

Why This Role Matters

As one of the early controls engineers at Anode, you will define how we implement, test, and deploy embedded control systems for our mobile energy platform. You'll work at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and systems engineering—taking ownership of real features with real impact on product performance and reliability. Your contributions will directly influence product direction, control architecture, and engineering culture as we grow.
