Want to build the electronics that will redefine energy management?

About Starflow

Picture a world where your energy system anticipates your needs, seamlessly integrates with solar panels, batteries, and other systems, and even lets you share excess energy with your neighbors. This is the future we’re building - a future we call energy perfection and where energy flows freely, smartly, and sustainably.

Our culture at Starflow is built on boldness, integrity, and truth-seeking. We believe in pushing boundaries, taking calculated risks, and finding better ways to solve problems. Open feedback, learning from mistakes, and embracing challenges as growth opportunities are key to how we work.

We’re building everything from the ground up, and to succeed, we need people who aren’t afraid to take on tough challenges and make a real impact. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible in energy management.

"Joining our team this early, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape our future and make a direct impact from the very beginning" - Jonas Helmikstøl, Co-founder & CEO

Your mission

Design and develop the electronics that form the backbone of Starflow’s energy system. 

From electronics to seamless sensor integration and communication, your work will be essential in creating scalable, reliable solutions that drive our mission to transform how energy flows. 

Why you should consider this role

At Starflow, we’re offering you the chance to take on the kind of challenges that make a real difference. Here’s why this role stands out:

• The team is small, but the vision is big - You’ll be working closely with passionate people who are just as ambitious as you are. This is a startup environment where your ideas and expertise will be valued and where you can grow as much as the product you’re building.
• You'll get to build from the ground up - You're not stepping into a legacy system full of band-aid fixes - you’re creating something entirely new. Every circuit, every board, every module will have your fingerprints on it, and this is your chance to leave a mark and shape a product from the first blueprint to production.
• Your work will actually matter - This isn't a role where you'll just tweak existing designs. You'll tackle some of the toughest challenges in electronics, like optimizing for energy efficiency, ensuring seamless communication, and meeting rigorous safety standards. And the systems you design will directly impact one of the world’s biggest challenges - how we manage and optimize energy.
• Freedom to experiment and innovate - we’re all about testing new ideas and pushing boundaries. Not everything will work out, but we believe in taking calculated risks to get to the best solutions.

What you'll need to get done

• Develop and execute comprehensive testing - Create testing frameworks to validate performance and reliability. Stress-test components, troubleshoot issues, and make sure everything holds up in the real world.
• Integrate sensors and communication modules - Ensure seamless integration of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CAN, 4G/cellular and Ethernet modules. Solve timing and noise challenges to ensure reliable communication across the entire system.
• Design and deliver functional electronics and PCB's - Contribute in creating efficient and reliable systems like DC-DC converters and AC/DC inverters. Your PCBs must be optimized for signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturability.
• Optimize electronics for production - Build electronics ready for mass production. You’ll focus on balancing performance and cost, working with manufacturers to make sure designs are scalable and efficient.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards - Build systems that meet global safety and regulatory standards. Integrate overvoltage protection, EMI shielding, and thermal management into every design.

We believe in adapting to what serves the company's vision and growth. This means that as Starflow grows, you'll grow with it, wearing different hats and taking on responsibilities that match both your strengths and the changing needs of the business.

Who we think is the right match

What matters most is that you’re deeply aligned with our vision, culture, and excited to be part of our journey. That being said, we believe there are certain skills and traits that will empower you to overcome the challenges of this role:

• Expertise in electronics design - You’ll need solid experience in designing electronics for mass production, compliance testing and optimizing for cost without compromising quality. Designing electronics for DC/DC converters, AC/DC inverters, and wired and wireless communication will be a big part of your role, along with solving challenges like thermal management, compliance, EMI, cost optimalization and reliability.
• Proficiency in PCB Design and Layout - We’re looking for someone skilled in designing high-density, multi-layer PCBs. You should be proficient with tools like Altium to create schematics and layouts that prioritize signal integrity, grounding strategies, and thermal management. An understanding of how to design for manufacturability is crucial.
• Strong testing and troubleshooting skills - Have you validated electronics systems and solved issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or multimeters? If you take a methodical approach to finding and fixing problems, you have the skills we need.

Life @ Starflow

Joining Starflow at this early stage is an unique opportunity. You’ll experience personal growth, exciting challenges, and the chance to make a real impact.

But make no mistake, this journey isn’t for everyone. We’re an ambitious team on a bold mission, which means that the path ahead will be demanding, unpredictable, and full of challenges.

• We live by the values of boldness, integrity and truth seeking. We take calculated risks, push boundaries and meet challenges head on. That's why we need people who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo and think different. You'll be encouraged to think outside the box, but also to take ownership of your work and be accountable for both successes and failures.
• No lone wolves here. We believe that no one is more important than the team, and that the best solutions come from different perspectives, feedback, and open communication. There's no room for ego here - only a shared passion for building something extraordinary.
• Where freedom meets accountability. We cherish freedom and autonomi, but we also understand that freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility and consequences. We know when to lead and make decisions independently, and when to follow guidance and instructions from others.
• Start-up life is messy. Being part of Starflow from the start means navigating limited resources, shifting priorities, and tight deadlines. It’s demanding, unpredictable, and chaotic - but that’s also what makes it exciting. We need resilient people who can balance long-term vision with the immediate needs of the business, staying adaptable and focused as we push forward.

If you seek comfort or routine, then Starflow is not the place for you. But if you are driven by passion and the desire to shape something greater than yourself, then we might be the perfect fit.
