Description
At 360Watts, we are rethinking the concept of owning and managing solar energy for residential use. Our focus is on developing an intelligent rooftop solar system that goes beyond just being a passive installation on your roof. We are striving to create a system that is dynamic, automated, and adaptable, empowering users with complete visibility and control over their energy consumption. If you are a systems thinker with the ability to seamlessly integrate the physical and digital realms, we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are looking for someone who can envision a solar system with an IoT layer for automation, designed to be modular and enhanced with AI/ML capabilities. The system should be easily upgradable to cater to users" evolving needs, ranging from basic to advanced automation levels. Users should have the convenience of remote control through a smart-home energy management app (EMS). Responsibilities: - Lead the design, testing, and refinement of the end-to-end IoT system architecture layer, utilizing edge-MCUs and hybrid data flows to connect with the cloud and smart-home control hub - Develop real-time firmware to collect data from sensors, operate relays, and implement secure, over-the-air (OTA) updatable logic - Incorporate MCUs with varying levels of inference capabilities (e.g., ESP32-S3, Raspberry Pi CM4, Jetson Nano/Xavier NX) and maintain firmware modularity for future upgrades - Define IoT use-cases, data workflow, and communication protocol stacks (MODBUS RTU/TCP, MQTT) for seamless integration with inverters, battery systems, and cloud EMS - Provide guidance to hardware interns on embedded prototyping, transitioning from breadboard setups to PCBs, including wiring, testing, and debugging processes - Collaborate with solar engineers and EMS software leads to facilitate rapid prototyping, field testing, and the development of user-centric automation strategies - Ensure readiness for field deployment, including configuring pilot systems, ensuring relay switching stability, integrating with inverters, and implementing offline fallback mechanisms Required Skills: - Proficiency in systems-oriented Embedded C/C++ - Experience in designing Edge (AI/ML) architecture and modular firmware - Hands-on experience in developing real-world firmware encompassing control logic, sensor integration, and relay operations - Knowledge of implementing protocol stacks such as MODBUS RTU/TCP and MQTT - Familiarity with OTA updates, structured data handling, and embedded fault management - Ability to debug system issues and ensure field readiness Background: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, Embedded Systems, or related fields - 1-3 years of work experience in a relevant role - Proficient in professional English language Job Details: - Salary range: Rs. 30k-50k per month, based on skills and experience - Opportunity for equity (ESOP) after 9-12 months - Start date: 15.08.2025 or 01.09.2025 - Probation period: 3 months - Job Type: Full-time Benefits: - Flexible schedule - Paid time off - Performance bonus Schedule: - Monday to Friday, with weekend availability Ability to commute/relocate: - Candidates should be able to reliably commute to Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu or be willing to relocate before the start date (Preferred) Education: - Bachelor's degree preferred Experience: - Minimum 1 year of experience in embedded software required Language: - Proficiency in English preferred Work Location: In person For further inquiries, please contact the employer at +91 9087610051 Application Deadline: 27/07/2025 Expected Start Date: 01/09/2025 If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity, we encourage you to apply promptly.,
