EV HUB Lab is the R&D and innovation centre of EV HUB, a Norwegian technology company majority-owned by Swedish automotive group KGK AB, developing technologies and products for electric vehicles and the automotive aftermarket.

What you will do

• Decode CAN, CAN FD and LIN signals and reverse engineer vehicle communication protocols, including DBC decoding, UDS services and DIDs, wake-up and network management.
• Build tools that automate reverse engineering from logging through decoded signals.
• Own, simplify and extend multi-brand diagnostic and vehicle emulation software.
• Develop battery test equipment and software that communicate with different BMS, extract battery data and generate battery health (SOH) reports.
• Emulate vehicles around HV components so they can run on the bench, and test and validate software and decoded data.
• Document findings, participate in design and code reviews, and collaborate with diagnostics, electronics and test engineers in project squads.

Requirements

• 5+ years of embedded or automotive software development, for example in Python, C or C++.
• Degree in electrical, electronic or computer engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of vehicle networks and diagnostic protocols: CAN, CAN FD, UDS (ISO 14229) and ISO-TP (ISO 15765).
• Experience reverse engineering vehicle networks or ECU communication, including logging, decoding and reproducing traffic.
• Experience building, testing and validating reliable software with clear structure, tests and documentation.
• Comfort working on a hardware bench with CAN interfaces, power supplies and wiring, using tools such as Vector, PCAN or SavvyCAN.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
• Must be eligible to work in Norway.

Nice to have

• Hands-on vehicle diagnostics across brands.
• BMS communication and battery data, including cell data and state of health.
• Embedded hardware and firmware experience, including flashing, EEPROM and JTAG/SWD debug interfaces.
• DoIP, automotive Ethernet, and diagnostic data formats such as ODX or A2L.
• Knowledge of EV high-voltage systems, batteries, BMS and power electronics.

Culture & Benefits

• Hands-on work with real EV hardware from component level to vehicle.
• Friendly, open culture with skilled colleagues, autonomy and direct responsibility for products and processes.
• Room to develop skills as the company grows.
• Competitive salary and pension scheme.
• HV safety and product training provided.
• Work permit application support is available for the right profile.

Hiring process

• Every role starts with hands-on immersion in products repaired in production; for communication and software specialists, the onboarding period is short before moving into engineering work.
