Location: Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu Type: Full-time | Office + Pilot site 🌞 About 360watts We are a pre-seed energy-tech startup on a mission to redefine how people experience energy —starting right from residential terrace & rooftops. Goal is to design and install smart solar systems for households — with seamlessly integrated hardware + software stack. Our solution is modular, remotely optimisable, and built for tomorrow’s intelligent homes. Our big vision? On the long run, to build a decentralised and autonomous energy ecosystem where energy is intuitive, empowering and uninterrupted — for every home. 🛠 Your Role You own the technical development and pilot deployment of smart rooftop solar systems for residential users . Core focus will be on solution architecture, system design and hands-on integration of the entire hardware stack—from panels, inverter and battery to communication interfaces and safety components—up to installation readiness. You will play a pivotal role in laying the groundwork for product-market fit. 🔧 Key Responsibilities i) System Architecture & Design Translate high-level concepts into electrical, mechanical, and data flow architecture. Finalize specifications and configurations of PV panels, hybrid/string inverters, battery, safety/protection gear. Design integrated energy flow logic (AC/DC switching, backup priority, auto-recovery). Ensure compliance with BIS, IEC, IP, grounding, and thermal protection standards. ii) Embedded Control & Communication Layer Integrate edge devices (e.g., ESP32, RS485, smart relays) with inverter and battery systems. Build secure, reliable device communication protocols (Modbus, MQTT, Wi-Fi/LAN). Interface data layer with EMS (Energy Management Software) for real-time monitoring and control. iii) Prototype, Test & Validate Create lab and rooftop test setups to simulate PV, grid, and load scenarios. Test with inverter and battery behaviour under real usage conditions. Work with software team to debug and validate edge-to-app data streams. iv) Component Sourcing & Vendor Coordination Identify and evaluate suppliers for solar, storage, mounting, and control systems. Analyze datasheets, compare technical specs, and document all component choices. Manage procurement timelines and ensure electrical & mechanical compatibility. v) Installation & Field Deployment Design modular rooftop-friendly wiring and mounting configurations suitable for diverse home layouts. Develop SOPs and checklists for safe, serviceable installation by partners. Support pilot installations and ensure seamless commissioning and homeowner onboarding. ✅ You Bring Bachelor or Masters Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Energy, or Mechatronics Engineering. 2–5 years experience in end-to-end solar system design ( mandatory ) and embedded hardware/IoT ( advantage ) Hands-on experience with rooftop layouts, household electrical panels as well as inverters, batteries, low-voltage systems, smart relays or energy meters Familiar with field realities of rooftop installation, wire routing, protection standards Previous work experience in smart home energy systems ( advantage ). 🌟 Bonus Points Experience with smart home platforms (Home Assistant, ESPHome) or open-source EMS. Past work on residential solar or smart home energy automation. A maker spirit and curiosity for hands-on problem solving. 🚀 Work benefits Salary range between 35 to 50k per month (depending on working knowledge). Employee stock option is eligible after one year. Chance to work together with passionate people and do best work of your life Ability to gain broad and detailed experience on diverse technical topics in energy systems. 🧭 Work culture Work from office (only) Weekly 40 - 50 hours but flexible Probation period of 3 months FYI - the role will not be easy, would require hard work and curiosity to learn a lot, but will invariably set you up for a strong career.
