About the role
What is Anori Tech doing?
The world talks about batteries, cells and the energy transition. Almost nobody talks about the Battery Management System (BMS) that makes them work.
As battery applications multiply, from robotics and mobility to data centers and grid-scale storage, BMS complexity is exploding. Legacy BMS architectures were never built for this: too rigid to keep up with new requirements, they've turned the BMS into the bottleneck of battery development.
We're building something different: a novel software-defined BMS architecture combined with an AI-driven configuration process. It gets battery manufacturers the right BMS for their exact use case within days, regardless of application or cell chemistry.
We're building the battery management system platform of tomorrow. Delivered in days, not years.
Join us and shape on of the fastest growing markets in the energy sector: The BMS market.
Our Motivation
At Anori Tech, we believe everything is energy, and progress runs on it. With Anori we actively shape the energy transition: from oil to electric, from low to high efficiency. We need batteries for this transition and almost all batteries need a BMS. We strive for Shenzen speed and German engineering quality. Our objective: put Europe back on the map in the race for the energy transition and build technical leadership out of Hamburg.
Tasks
About the Role
As our first engineering hire, you'll own the embedded firmware at the heart of the BMS and shape how it's built. You'll work side by side with Stefan, our CTO, on the architecture, implementation and verification that take us from a tested prototype to a fully certified product. This is a rare moment to join: the technology is proven, the funding is secured, and the foundations you lay now will define how every future Anori BMS works.
What You'll Do
Own and grow the embedded Rust firmware at the heart of the BMS
Set the engineering practices that keep it trustworthy: testing, CI/CD, HiL, coverage, and end-to-end requirements traceability
Debug and trace on real hardware across ARM and RISC-V targets
Work with the founder on architecture decisions, implementation and verification
Requirements
What You Bring
Must have
At least 1 year of no_std production Rust
A quality mindset and hands-on software testing experience
Familiar with CI/CD, hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), and code coverage as everyday tools
A solid grounding in software engineering best practices and architecture
Critical, analytical, systematic thinking: you reason from first principles and make your assumptions explicit - challenge existing paradigms
Strongly preferred
Deep embedded experience incl. no_std and async Rust
Writing hardware drivers based on datasheets
Hands-on debugging and tracing on ARM and RISC-V
Knowledge on various communication protocols & stacks: CAN, LIN, BLE, LTE modems
Basic hardware skills: reading schematics, working with oscilloscope, board bring-up, debugging
Nice to have
Knowledge in MBSE, INCOSE, ISTQB or IREB methods (the skills, not the paper)
A background in safety-critical (IEC 61508, ISO 26262) and battery systems
Comfortable implementing numerical algorithms (filtering, state estimation) on constrained hardware
What We Offer
Work on a product with purpose that redefines the state of art: our product is a key part to enable competitive battery energy storage.
Work directly with the founding team on decisions that shape the company. Yes, you will be the very first hire and the team is small, your ideas will matter. A lot.
Challenging engineering in an industrial, but research-near environment. We bring research into the industry.
A modern stack and methods: Rust, MBSE, full traceability, and the best tools and techniques for the job, chosen on merit.
To be both supported and challenged: room to grow, and the expectation that you will.
You might be a fit if
You hold yourself to a high standard and don’t settle for "good enough.”
You want to have a big say in what the Anori BMS looks like and how it works
You are eager to try out new tools and enjoy incorporating AI into your work to make your life easier and more productive
You are excited about startups and all the opportunities and uncertainties that come with it
You want to be an active part in accelerating the energy transition in Europe
You are comfortable with english as a working language (we all speak German too)
You are happy to be in the office most of the time because for fast decisions we need to be in the same room. We expect you to be in the office at least 3 days / week (Startup Labs Bahrenfeld in Hamburg)
You also want to become an Anori? We cannot wait to meet you. Go and click the apply button. Don’t be shy we are nice.
P.S. Extra bonus if you tell us what your favorite type of tea is.
