Electronic Engineer (Embedded Systems) @ Bihar Batteries
San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) | Hybrid (Remote/In-Person) Full-time | Permanent ⏱️ We are building
sodium-ion storage systems
, a critical technology that gives people, businesses, and communities control over their
energy
.
This technology is at the heart of our product: a
modular battery system
that can power everything from off-grid mountain refuges to industrial companies and regions.
We have partnered with
leading industrial companies and research centers
to scale up, such as CIC energiGUNE and Battera. We are looking for an
Electronic Engineer
to lead the
control electronics
of our battery system. This involves integrating components of commercially available
Battery Management Systems and Energy Management Systems
into our product, as well as
developing new electronic components
for our system.
We are looking for a
curious and proactive ‘builder’ that is motivated with the challenge of joining an early stage company like Bihar, and that enjoys working in small, agile teams. Degree in
Electronic Engineering
, preferably with a Master’s in
Embedded Systems
. Deep understanding of
Battery Management Systems (BMS) and
Energy Management Systems (EMS), with an ability to assess, test, integrate and modify them, including
uC programming (C/C++). Knowledge on Python/RTOS, and AI programming tools. Ability to develop
PCBs from scratch
, including designing, prototyping, testing, and iterating (KiCad, schemes, Gerbers, BOM). Understand the functioning of
power electronic battery components
(DC/DC, DC/AC, AC/DC) and being able to integrate and work with them. Ability to work fluently in
Spanish and English
. Based in
San Sebastian
or willingness to spend significant time in the city (hybrid position).

Integrating commercial
BMS and EMS
components into Bihar’s modular sodium-ion stationary storage system. Designing, prototyping, and coordinating
the development of
new control electronic components, especially for BMS and EMS’s
. Developing the necessary
firmware/software
for BMS and EMS components. Integrating
control electronic components
with
power electronic components
with a sense of product. Interacting with
R&D,
product design
and
manufacturing
teams to scale electronics, as well as clients. Hybrid work flexibility
, with the chance to combine remote focus time and in-person prototyping in our San Sebastian workspace. ~ Brand new equipment
both to design as well as to prototype (you choose). ~️ Training & education budget
(courses, books, travel to events). ~
Build together with a team that has worked with international industry leaders like BYD, Bosch, Cegasa, MIT, or Norman Foster. Learn from leading European research and manufacturing partners.
