Salary: ~£60,000 per annum + Equity options (negotiable) Start Date : Jan - Feb 2027 At Anzen, we are revolutionising the clean energy transition through our breakthrough solid-state heat pump technology. Our flagship product, the Anzen Climate Wall, is a plug-and-play solution designed to provide efficient heating, cooling, and ventilation without traditional compressors or F-gases. We are seeking a skilled Embedded Firmware & PCBA Design Engineer to lead embedded control development and custom PCB design for our next-generation HVAC systems. In this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end embedded systems design, combining hands-on PCBA design (schematics, PCB layout) with firmware development for real-time control of thermoelectric modules, fans, sensors, and actuators. You will work closely with mechanical, thermal, and controls engineers to bring reliable, production-ready electronics from concept through testing, prototyping, and compliance.
