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

The Embedded Controls Engineer 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop Simulink based Embedded Controls Software for a mobile battery system
• See features through from prototype to production software release stages
• Work with CAN, Modbus, and other automotive & industrial communication standards.
• Work with cross functional teams (systems, electrical, & product) to define & refine feature definitions

Qualifications

Must Have:

• B.S. in Software Engineering, Mech Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
• 5+ years of experience in controls engineering for complex electromechanical or energy systems
• Strong proficiency in Simulink and C/C++
• Experience with vehicle, system, power electronics, or other complex control systems.
• Working knowledge of communication protocols such as CAN, serial, or similar
• Experience working in early hardware and small fast paced teams

Preferred:

• Background in vehicle controls or automotive software engineering
• Proven experience owning & coordinating end to end testing (unit tests to vehicle / product software deployment)
• Experience writing & releasing safety and/or certification critical software
• Understanding of relevant standards and compliance requirements (UL 9540, UL 1741, UL 1973, IEC 61508/ISO 26262, etc.)

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.
