🏢 About Dynapower

Dynapower is a leader in power electronics, driving a resilient, clean energy future through innovative power conversion and storage solutions. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge technology that directly impacts the transition to renewable energy, with a collaborative remote culture that values technical excellence.

About This Role

As a Software Engineer at Dynapower, you will develop, modify, and code software systems for power conversion and storage applications. Your work will involve creating end-user tools for data analysis and reporting, integrating software with test equipment, and participating in on-site debugging and optimization, directly impacting product performance and reliability.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with your remote team to discuss progress on software development tasks. You'll spend the morning coding features for data analysis tools or debugging software issues reported from test equipment, and the afternoon collaborating with hardware engineers to integrate your software with power conversion systems, followed by documenting your work.

🎯 Who Dynapower Is Looking For

  • Holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience, with coursework or projects in power electronics or energy systems.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office but also skilled in programming languages like Python, C++, or C# for data analysis and automation.
  • Strong communicator and team player who can collaborate effectively in a remote, fast-paced environment and manage multiple tasks with excellent time management.
  • Experienced with database communication (e.g., SQL) and developing tools for data analysis and reporting, ideally in a hardware or test equipment context.
