As we aim to revolutionise livestock management, we will need top-notch competence in our Engineering team, and we are now looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer.\nThe product is small, solar-assisted and combines GNSS, LTE, Bluetooth, and many other technologies, so every design decision is a system integration problem. Join the NPD team that takes it from concept to pilot production.\nWhat you’ll do\nWrite prototype-level drivers and test firmware for new sensors, chips and modules\n\nOwn firmware-side power behaviour: low-power states and energy optimisation, with hardware support\n\nDebug across the hardware/firmware boundary with oscilloscope, logic analyser, power analyser and debug probe\n\nRun protocol-level system tests for LTE, NTN and Bluetooth, including pre-compliance\n\nBuild test automation and test setups for bring-up and regression\n\nReview schematics from the firmware side and give input on component choices\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nBachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Cybernetics or similar\n\nEmbedded C, including peripheral drivers (I²C, SPI, UART, ADC, GPIO, interrupts, DMA)\n\nExperience with an RTOS on ARM Cortex-M\n\nLow-power firmware design and energy measurement\n\nPython for test automation\n\nComfort reading schematics, datasheets and errata\n\nFluent English\n\nNice to have\nExperience with Zephyr and nRF platforms. This is our platform, and we’ll get you up to speed\n\nGNSS, LTE-M/NB-IoT, Bluetooth or NTN knowledge, and protocol test tools\n\nCE, FCC and ISED certification\n\nGit and CI\n\nWhat we offer\nShort path from idea to impact: you’ll see your work in the field\n\nVisits to customers and their animals, to see how the product lives in reality\n\nRoom to grow towards firmware, system test or system architecture\n\nLocation: Trondheim or Molde\n\nAbout the Application\nWe will evaluate candidates continuously. If you have any questions about Nofence or regarding the application, please reach out to our Engineering Manager, Kjetil Grimsæth, at .\nAbout Nofence\nManaging livestock has always been a challenge. Humanity has tried everything from herding with dogs to walling the animals in with barbed wire, electric, and wooden fences, but these are costly and time-consuming solutions and often in conflict with the local wildlife. It has also left vast areas of potential pasture overgrown and underutilized.\nUntil now.\nEnter virtual fences. What started as a small group of farmers and engineers with a big idea has become Nofence - the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock.\nWhat we bring to the table\nAt Nofence, we're not your typical 9-to-5 gig. We're a dynamic scale-up, creating a work atmosphere that's anything but ordinary. It's a place where dedication and innovation are the norm, offering great opportunities for your personal and professional growth.\nWe believe in seeing results fast. As an engineer with us, your work won't be lost in the bureaucratic shuffle. You'll witness the immediate impact of your contributions in real-time, influencing the evolution of our cutting-edge virtual fencing solution for livestock.\nJoin us, where ambition meets reality, and let's keep pushing the boundaries in the world of agri-tech!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3332,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Electrical & Electronic Engineering","Farming & Agriculture","Livestock","Corporate Events"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T17:06:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nofence-embedded-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nofence-embedded-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T04:33:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7104,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":721157},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=721157"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnofence-embedded-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnofence-embedded-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnofence-embedded-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nofence-embedded-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnofence-embedded-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3470925}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nofence.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3470925},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
