Tech stack: C, ARM Cortex-M, RTOS, Python, Zephyr, nRF, GNSS, LTE-M, NB-IoT, Bluetooth, NTN, I²C, SPI, UART, Git
About the role
Product & Engineering · Trondheim, Molde, Oslo
Embedded Systems Engineer
Join us, where ambition meets reality, and be a part of revolutionizing agriculture!
Nofence is a Norwegian scale-up that has built the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. As we aim to revolutionise livestock management, we will need top-notch competence in our Engineering team, and we are now looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer.
The product is small, solar-assisted and combines GNSS, LTE, Bluetooth, and many other technologies, so every design decision is a system integration problem. Join the NPD team that takes it from concept to pilot production.
What you’ll do
- Write prototype-level drivers and test firmware for new sensors, chips and modules
- Own firmware-side power behaviour: low-power states and energy optimisation, with hardware support
- Debug across the hardware/firmware boundary with oscilloscope, logic analyser, power analyser and debug probe
- Run protocol-level system tests for LTE, NTN and Bluetooth, including pre-compliance
- Build test automation and test setups for bring-up and regression
- Review schematics from the firmware side and give input on component choices
What we’re looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Cybernetics or similar
- Embedded C, including peripheral drivers (I²C, SPI, UART, ADC, GPIO, interrupts, DMA)
- Experience with an RTOS on ARM Cortex-M
- Low-power firmware design and energy measurement
- Python for test automation
- Comfort reading schematics, datasheets and errata
- Fluent English
Nice to have
- Experience with Zephyr and nRF platforms. This is our platform, and we’ll get you up to speed
- GNSS, LTE-M/NB-IoT, Bluetooth or NTN knowledge, and protocol test tools
- CE, FCC and ISED certification
- Git and CI
What we offer
- Short path from idea to impact: you’ll see your work in the field
- Visits to customers and their animals, to see how the product lives in reality
- Room to grow towards firmware, system test or system architecture
- Location: Trondheim or Molde
About the Application
We will evaluate candidates continuously. If you have any questions about Nofence or regarding the application, please reach out to our Engineering Manager, Kjetil Grimsæth, at [email protected].
About Nofence
Managing livestock has always been a challenge. Humanity has tried everything from herding with dogs to walling the animals in with barbed wire, electric, and wooden fences, but these are costly and time-consuming solutions and often in conflict with the local wildlife. It has also left vast areas of potential pasture overgrown and underutilized.
Until now.
Enter virtual fences. What started as a small group of farmers and engineers with a big idea has become Nofence – the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock.
What we bring to the table
At Nofence, we're not your typical 9-to-5 gig. We're a dynamic scale-up, creating a work atmosphere that's anything but ordinary. It's a place where dedication and innovation are the norm, offering great opportunities for your personal and professional growth.
We believe in seeing results fast. As an engineer with us, your work won't be lost in the bureaucratic shuffle. You'll witness the immediate impact of your contributions in real-time, influencing the evolution of our cutting-edge virtual fencing solution for livestock.
Join us, where ambition meets reality, and let's keep pushing the boundaries in the world of agri-tech!
