Senior Embedded Software Engineer
Summary
Monil, an Oslo-based company building solar-powered smart collars for virtual fencing and livestock monitoring, seeks a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to design and develop firmware for next-generation devices. The role involves low-power embedded systems in C/C++ with cellular, GNSS, wireless communication, sensors, and on-device ML, from concept through field deployment.
Monil is building world-leading technology for virtual fencing and livestock monitoring. In just four years, we’ve grown to over 1,000 customers and more than 50,000 collars across multiple markets. We are now entering a new phase of international growth, and the next generation of products and capabilities will be critical to our success.
At the heart of our solution is a collar that combines animal interaction, sensors, positioning, and wireless communication. Operating in remote environments with only a small solar panel as its energy source, the collar must reliably deliver virtual fencing and continuous livestock monitoring under strict energy and connectivity constraints.
We're looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who wants to build products that operate in the real world and have a direct impact on sustainable agriculture and animal welfare.

Om arbeidsgiveren:
Accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable agriculture by automating animal care. We design and build high-tech smart collars that benefits both farmer, animal and environment: - The farmer saves time and money on building fences and animal feed - The animals spend less time inside and more time grazing on open pastures - The smart collars enable grazing techniques that boost soil health and reduce the need for artificial fertilizer
