The rest of your time is spent working as an embedded software engineer where you focus on the digital side of the EV charging technologies. E-mobility is a fast-growing and dynamic company within ABB. You will work in the R&D Interop Team: a close-knit team that currently consists of 15 employees. Each team member brings valuable experience and has a drive for development. According to the team, sharing knowledge and collaboration are the best methods to bring innovations to life.

You also write the technical standards that solidify the correct operation of the EV chargers. With a good technical basis, you personally develop and guarantee the standards that form the basis for further innovation of electric charging. You realize a uniform operation of the electric charging stations so that every vehicle, regardless of model type, can continue their journey without fail. All over the world. You have both a strategic and an executive role, thinking in protocols and convincing others from your technical expertise.

This reflects work-time flexibility allowing you to have a lot of freedom to schedule your own work.
