Software Engineer - Controls Development

Envoltz – Software Development Engineer

Envoltz engineers and manufactures the most technically advanced heavy mobile equipment and battery powered solutions for a variety of industries. Our products integrate a combination of mechanical, hydraulic, diesel, battery power, and advanced control technologies to produce safe, efficient, and reliable machines. Our most well-known machines are our diesel powered 40,000 lbs. underground cable puller trailers, our battery-diesel hybrid wireline winches, and our 1-Megawatt battery powered hybrid frac assist units.

To succeed in our industry, we strive to bring in the best talent in the world and provide them with the tools and support they need to do the best work of their careers. While we have extremely high hiring standards, a candidate’s past projects, drive, and congeniality supersedes their degree(s) & experience.

We're looking for a Junior to Senior level software developer who is comfortable taking ownership of a project and having large responsibilities. We are a young and growing company that is developing ambitious hardware and software products. Naturally, there's quite a bit of programming work to be done. This does not mean we want someone who can come and work 80-hour work weeks — quite the opposite really. We want high-level performers who think creatively and are intentional about where they spend their effort. While a machine controls background is desired, we are looking for someone eager to learn and grow in all facets of software development.

The ideal candidate excels in finding ways to contribute to a team, but can also be trusted to independently handle deep thought work.
