GTS Group have an exciting opportunity to join an industry disrupting organisation, based in Birmingham!

The role:

  • Architect and build embedded software bridging microcontroller firmware (STM32, modern C++, MISRA) and higher-level supervisory systems
  • Implement OCPP (1.6J–2.1), CAN, Modbus RTU and MQTT for vehicle and cloud comms
  • Own things end to end: requirements → build → live site diagnostics
  • Mix of work: ~60% new development, 30% integration/test, 10% in-service support

What you'll need:

  • Strong C++ in resource-constrained embedded systems
  • Hands‑on with CAN/Modbus and MQTT/WebSockets
  • RTOS or bare‑metal background
  • EVSE/OCPP experience is a plus, not a must — automotive, industrial control or energy backgrounds welcome

Why it's worth a look:

  • Small team, so your decisions actually shape the product
  • Infrastructure that matters, not another dashboard
  • Hybrid: 2 days/week in Birmingham, genuine lab and site time

Message me for the full spec, or tag someone who lives for CAN bus debugging.
