Staff Embedded Engineer

We operate one of the world’s largest connected micromobility fleets, with close to 200,000 vehicles across multiple hardware

generations, vehicle models and markets – and we will keep scaling significantly in the coming years. As our fleet grows in scale

and complexity, firmware reliability, platform architecture, and operational robustness become increasingly critical to the

business. Ultimately, your work ensures that every Voi vehicle feels safe, reliable and effortless to use – even after years of

real‑world use, rough weather, and everyday wear and tear.

We are now looking for a deeply experienced Staff Embedded Engineer to help lead the next generation of our vehicle and IoT

platform. In this highly hands-on technical leadership role you will shape the long‑term embedded platform strategy and

architecture, and work across teams, suppliers and partners to make sure our vehicles are consistently reliable.

• Translate rider and operator needs into platform‑level design decisions, ensuring our vehicles are intuitive to use, reliable

over years in the field and straightforward for local teams to operate and maintain.

• Architect and evolve a large‑scale distributed embedded platform spanning vehicle control systems, battery‑powered IoT devices

and multi‑MCU/MPU platforms (including Zephyr / Linux‑capable systems).

• Drive the evolution of fleet‑wide OTA infrastructure, remote diagnostics and observability for hundreds of thousands of devices

across 100+ cities in Europe.

• Improve resilience and recovery mechanisms for remotely deployed systems, including safe rollback strategies and recovery of

bricked devices.

• Drive improvements in CAN‑based vehicle communication, power systems, GNSS and geofencing in dense urban environments, and

sensor reliability, including Bluetooth and NFC user interactions.

• Raise the bar for engineering excellence across embedded and firmware engineering, mentoring others, refining CI/CD, testing

and release processes, and introducing best‑in‑class development practices.

• Champion the strategic and pragmatic adoption of Generative AI tools to increase engineering effectiveness while protecting

code quality and minimising technical debt.

You are a hands-on, senior technical leader who thrives at the intersection of firmware, hardware, connectivity and large‑scale

operations. You are confident in navigating high complexity, balancing strategic architectural choices with pragmatic delivery,

and you enjoy mentoring others and setting engineering standards. You care about the end‑to‑end experience: from how a rider feels

stepping onto a scooter, to how easy it is for our operations teams to keep the fleet safe, available and healthy over time.

• Extensive experience building and operating embedded / firmware systems in real‑world environments at scale (ideally globally

distributed connected device fleets).

• GNSS, geofencing, sensor fusion or other edge‑processing systems, and battery‑powered devices with a focus on power

optimisation.

• Operating large, globally distributed IoT fleets across varied connectivity environments, including recovering from real‑world

operational failures, factory issues or large‑scale fleet incidents.

This role is likely a strong match if you have scaled firmware deployments globally, built systems that remain reliable under

unreliable real-world conditions, and driven architecture decisions across multiple hardware generations with a focus on long‑term

maintainability and operational visibility.

Working at Voi is more than just a job; our People Promise includes a personal voyage where you will grow as a professional and be

a part of a team and culture that builds something meaningful for society. In addition to this you’ll have the opportunity to:
