Job Purpose

At EnerSys, we don’t just build batteries ; we power the systems behind the global energy transition.

As electrification accelerates across industries, we are scaling next-generation energy storage and IoT platforms used worldwide.

We are looking for a Lead IoT Software Engineer ready to build, lead, and shape what comes next.

If you enjoy working at the intersection of embedded systems, cloud, and real-world impact: this role is for you.

Why join EnerSys?

• Be part of the global shift toward sustainable energy
• Work on real-world industrial IoT systems, not just prototypes
• Collaborate across international teams with global visibility
• Take ownership of systems that matter – from embedded devices to cloud platforms

The impact you will make

You will play a critical role in designing and delivering the software powering next-generation energy storage systems.

From embedded Linux devices to cloud-connected APIs, your work will ensure that our IoT platforms are secure, scalable, and ready for global deployment.

What you will do

• Lead a team of software engineers through Agile sprint cycles
• Design and develop embedded software (C/C++/Python) on Linux (ARM)
• Build and integrate APIs, backend services, and IoT cloud solutions
• Drive technical decisions and architecture improvements
• Debug and prototype on hardware platforms
• Ensure high standards of security, performance, and reliability
• Collaborate with global teams across engineering and product

Why this role is exciting

• You’ll work at the intersection of hardware, software, and cloud
• Your code will power critical infrastructure in the energy transition
• You’ll have real ownership, not just implementation tasks
• You’ll influence how systems are designed – not just built

What will help you succeed

We’re looking for experienced engineers who:

• Have a strong background in IoT or embedded software engineering
• Understand distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native architectures
• Are comfortable working across embedded + backend environments
• Can translate complex requirements into robust technical solutions
• Bring a hands-on mindset with leadership capability
• Thrive in Agile and international environments

Technical Skills

• Embedded Linux (Yocto), Docker, Azure IoT
• Industrial protocols (MQTT, Modbus, WebSocket)
• Hardware interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, RS485)
• Experience in energy systems or industrial IoT

What we offer

• Flexible working model (remote, with occasional travel to our sites in France or Italy, or hybrid working options available)
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge IoT platforms with global impact
• Strong learning culture: courses, conferences, and development support
• International collaboration with talented engineering teams
• High ownership and autonomy in technical decisions

Diversity & Inclusion

At EnerSys, we believe diverse teams build better solutions. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
