Embedded Firmware Engineer

OverviewFuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup with a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy — fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $100M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels such as Nico Rosberg and other GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We are creating a fully integrated energy company: developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects, real-time power trading, and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs, and pass savings to customers.

We are also building the Energy Network, a decentralised platform of smart devices that rewards users in Energy Dollars for electrifying their homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability — a foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.
