You will own the site controller: the edge software that runs every Moonwatt site and ties the batteries, converters, inverters and the cloud together. You start hands-on with our live test setup, proving out the system on real hardware. What you learn there shapes the production site controller, which you then design and build.
What you will do:
- Design, build and own the production site controller software, from architecture to deployment and long-term maintenance.
- Build robust data acquisition and processing: reliable, time-stamped collection of measurements and events from the BMS, power converters and inverters, with local storage, buffering and forwarding to the cloud.
- Implement low-level communication and control over Controller Area Network (CAN), Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU, including device drivers, protocol handling, state machines, sequencing and safe fault handling.
- Build commissioning and diagnostic interfaces into the site controller, so field engineers can bring a site up, configure it and troubleshoot it quickly. Where needed, extend these to customer-facing interfaces, both to the customer's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and directly to users.
- Run integration and validation work on our test setup: write test scripts and tooling, analyse data and turn findings into fixes and requirements.
- Define the interfaces between the site controller, BMS firmware and cloud platform, together with the relevant engineers.
- Help lay the foundation for later energy management and dispatch features.
- Set good engineering practice for edge software: version control, code review, automated testing, continuous integration and controlled releases.
