Head of Hardware

We’re looking for someone to take ownership of hardware at Ember. This isn’t a typical “Head of” role. You won’t be handed a roadmap or a team of 20. You’ll be expected to get involved directly—understand problems, build things, fix things, and develop your own view of what we should do next. Your background matters less than your ability to learn quickly, think clearly and build good things. About Ember We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car. Ember is a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive reduction in emissions. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops. We’re still tiny, with a handful of routes and ~100 buses. The challenge is to scale this 50x whilst staying lean,
