I am launching an EV charging infrastructure start-up focused initially on Brazil (Florianópolis/Santa Catarina) and am looking for a hardware/embedded systems specialist to help guide the technical development of our charging hardware architecture. This is initially a consulting/advisory role, helping coordinate between external consultants, firmware providers, and hardware manufacturers. The role, in coordination with other team members would largely be responsible for producing a high-quality hardware MVP for market. The goal is to design and validate the hardware architecture for AC Level 2 (22kW) EV chargers and ensure the system is robust, scalable, and compliant with relevant standards. Due to a lack of suitable options, I would like to manufacture and design our own units, in consultation with external expertise and manufacturers. This is not purely a firmware role - I’m looking for someone who understands the full EV charger hardware stack, including controller boards, communications, and electrical architecture. Responsibilities You would help with: • Advising on EV charger hardware architecture (AC Level 2/22kW chargers) • Reviewing and coordinating electrical design and component selection • Ensuring chargers meet necessary regulatory technical and certification requirements • Working with external vendors providing: - EVSE controller boards - firmware stacks - communication modules - OEM/manufacturing services • Helping evaluate and integrate components including: - controller boards - power stage components - metering systems - protection systems (RCD, surge protection, etc.) - enclosure design - electrical design • Advising on communications architecture, including: - OCPP integration - ISO 15118/PLC communication (if applicable) - networking modules (4G/Ethernet/WiFi) • Acting as a technical bridge between hardware manufacturers and software developers • Helping ensure the design can meet relevant EV charging standards • Providing technical input when sourcing hardware manufacturers/OEM partners Example Architecture The current concept stack includes: Hardware: - EVSE enclosure - power stage - protection circuits - controller board - communication modules Software/system layer: - safety firmware - Linux-based EV charging stack (e.g. EVerest) - OCPP communication with backend The goal is to assemble and integrate existing components, not necessarily design every element from scratch. Ideal Experience Strong preference for engineers with experience in EV charging or similar power electronics systems. Relevant experience may include: • EV charger/EVSE development • embedded systems engineering • mechanical engineering • power electronics or electrical design • controller board integration • EV charging communication protocols • industrial IoT hardware Experience with any of the following is a plus: - OCPP - ISO 15118 - PLC communication - EVerest or similar charging stacks - EVSE controller boards - Linux embedded systems - IEC/EV charging standards - CAD and MVP prototyping Engagement Initially looking for: • Advisory/consulting engagement • Helping shape architecture and technical decisions • Periodic technical reviews and coordination Estimated involvement: ~5-20 hours per week initially (flexible) Potential to expand into a longer-term technical lead role as the project develops. About the Project This is an early-stage infrastructure start-up focused on destination EV charging, initially deploying 22kW AC charging stations. The project will involve coordinating with: - hardware manufacturers - firmware providers - electrical engineers - backend software developers The objective is to build a robust, scalable EV charging infra/platform

Best EV Charging Hardware Architecture Expert for 22kW AC EVSE! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dear Client, What matters most at this stage is not just selecting parts or coordinating vendors — it is making sure the charger architecture is technically sound, scalable, compliance-aware, and realistic for MVP-to-market execution. That is where I can add value. For a 22kW AC charger startup, the biggest risk is not lack of options — it is making early architecture decisions that later create integration, certification, safety, or vendor-coordination problems. The right technical lead at this stage should be able to evaluate the full stack as one system: EVSE controller, protection strategy, metering, communications, enclosure, firmware coordination, OEM feasibility, and standards path. I can help you review and shape the hardware architecture, coordinate technical decisions across vendors, and act as a strong bridge between hardware, firmware, and manufacturing teams so the MVP is built on solid engineering logic rather than disconnected inputs. A few questions from my side: 1. Are you planning to build around an existing EVSE controller board, or are you still evaluating options? 2. Is OCPP-only the immediate target, or are you also planning for ISO 15118 readiness from the first version? If you send me a message, I can also share relevant work and discuss how I would approach the architecture from a practical product-development perspective. Best regards, Avi Gupta PCB Must Innovations

Hi there! Your vision for building an EV charging infrastructure startup in Florianópolis is a timely and strategic move, and I am eager to help you engineer the hardware foundation for this project. Having previously developed smart charging controllers that bridge high-power electronics with complex IoT stacks, I understand the precision required to balance electrical safety with seamless connectivity. I have worked on similar embedded systems where reliability in diverse environmental conditions was paramount, and I am ready to apply that experience to ensure your hardware is both robust and scalable for the Brazilian market. To move this project forward, I will prioritize a design centered on a high-performance MCU like the ESP32 or STM32, capable of managing real-time control loops while simultaneously running a full OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 stack for cloud integration. My approach includes designing multi-layer PCBs with strict galvanic isolation between high-voltage AC lines and sensitive logic components, incorporating integrated GFCI and surge protection to comply with ABNT safety standards. I will implement a modular communication sub-system supporting LTE-M or Wi-Fi to ensure your chargers remain functional even in areas with fluctuating network stability. Throughout the prototyping phase, I will utilize rigorous hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate the J1772 or Type 2 signaling logic before you commit to larger production runs. Are you planning to launch with residential 7kW AC chargers, or is the initial focus on commercial dual-port stations requiring sophisticated local load balancing? I would also be interested to know if you have a preferred cloud backend provider in mind or if we should architect the hardware to be platform-agnostic. Let’s jump on a quick chat to align on your hardware roadmap and discuss how we can transition from this initial design to a market-ready product. I am available for a brief call at your convenience to dive into the technical specifics.

One-way charging piles (V1G): These are controllable load nodes in the power grid, with the core function of ensuring stable and safe power input. Two-way charging piles (V2X): These are highly distributed, real-time responsive power dispatching units, integrating power electronics (IGBT/SiC), grid-connected control (PLL), power regulation algorithms (P/Q control), and communication dispatching systems (OCPP/ISO 15118/EMS). Essentially, they are not "low-power grids," but rather "distributing grid dispatching capabilities to every terminal node," forming a distributed energy system with high uncertainty and high real-time performance. One-way is "charging," while two-way is "participating in the power grid"; the former solves energy input, while the latter restructures the power system. As an aside: China uses ±1100kV DC / 1000kV AC, while Brazil mainly uses ±800kV HVDC. Virtual power plants have been vying for dominance behind the scenes for many years. https://www.freelancer.com/u/ovwcap123
