\u0646\u0628\u062d\u062b \u0639\u0646 hands-on Hardware & Firmware Engineer <\/strong>to support the build, integration, testing, and monitoring of V0 and V1 p<\/strong>ortable battery pilots for university-focused energy infrastructure in Nigeria. We are running early-stage pilots <\/strong>to validate hardware behaviour, firmware control, and operational workflows ahead of an institutional-scale deployment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Role Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a practical, early-stage engineering role focused on modifying and controlling portable power systems for real-world pilot use. The engineer will work closely with the founder to deliver safe, testable, and grant-ready V0 and V1 systems. This is not a factory NPI or mass-manufacturing role.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hardware Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Reconfigure pre-built portable power stations for pilot use<\/p>\n

– Integrate GSM\/LTE modules for SIM-based tracking and control<\/p>\n

– Implement hardware mechanisms for remote output shutdown<\/p>\n

– Validate AC (230V Type-G) and DC output behaviour under load<\/p>\n

– Test overload, low-battery, and fault shutdown behaviour<\/p>\n

– Support safe enclosure modifications where required<\/p>\n

– Prepare small batches (2\u20133 units for V0, ~10 units for V1)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firmware Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Design and implement embedded firmware to manage device states (active, disabled, fault)<\/p>\n

– Implement remote enable\/disable of outputs while keeping tracking and telemetry powered<\/p>\n

– Integrate GSM-based telemetry and handle intermittent connectivity<\/p>\n

– Enforce firmware-level power, current, and thermal limits<\/p>\n

– Implement safe shutdown and fail-safe behaviour for overload, low battery, and thermal events<\/p>\n

– Ensure firmware resilience across power loss and reboot scenarios<\/p>\n

– Maintain firmware versioning consistency across V0 and V1 units<\/p>\n

– Implement lightweight logging for pilot metrics and fault analysis<\/p>\n

– Document firmware logic, assumptions, and safety-critical behaviour<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bonus Skill (Not Mandatory)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Operator Dashboard & Admin Tooling (Low-Code)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Configure or integrate a simple operator dashboard (no consumer app)<\/p>\n

– Display device status, state-of-charge, and fault states<\/p>\n

– Enable basic operator actions (remote enable\/disable, device flagging)<\/p>\n

– Prefer low-code or lightweight tools (e.g. Retool, Appsmith, Supabase, Airtable)<\/p>\n

– Support data export for pilot analysis and grant reporting<\/p>\n

– Ensure usability under intermittent connectivity<\/p>\n

This role does NOT require building a consumer mobile app or a full cloud backend platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Required Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Strong hands-on embedded systems experience (ESP32, STM32, or similar)<\/p>\n

– Experience with battery systems, inverters, or power electronics<\/p>\n

– Experience integrating GSM\/LTE modules<\/p>\n

– Comfortable working with off-the-shelf hardware and early-stage prototypes<\/p>\n

– Strong safety awareness and pragmatic engineering judgement<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not suitable for:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– App developers<\/p>\n

– Factory\/NPI specialists<\/p>\n

– Pure PCB designers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location & engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n

– EU-based contractors preferred<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Remote + hands-on build required<\/p>\n

– Contract duration: ~12 to 16 weeks (possibly longer)<\/p>\n

– Milestone-based delivery (V0 \u2192 V1)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rate guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n

– \u20ac50\u2013\u20ac70 \/ hour, depending on experience<\/p>\n

– Milestone-based payments<\/p>\n

– Paid technical test included<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why this is interesting<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Real-world constraints, not lab theory<\/p>\n

– Direct founder collaboration<\/p>\n

– Work feeds into grant-funded institutional scale-up<\/p>\n

– Clear scope \u2014 no endless roadmap creep<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Send:<\/p>\n

– A short intro & CV<\/p>\n

– 1\u20132 examples of hands-on hardware \/ firmware work<\/p>\n

– Your availability<\/p>\n
