Edge and cloud platform for electrified vehicle and machinery powertrains
REFU Drive builds drivetrain control software for e-mobility—automating container vehicles, agricultural machines, construction equipment, and transit buses. Their stack is AWS-native (IoT Core, Greengrass, Lambda, DynamoDB) paired with embedded C++ and Python, indicating a hybrid edge-cloud architecture where real-time control runs on devices (ESP32, Raspberry Pi) while telemetry and fleet management live serverless in the cloud. Active work on field device integration, energy management pipelines, and secure data publishing reveals a company scaling from prototype to production-grade fleet operations.
REFU Drive develops electrification system solutions for commercial and public-sector vehicles and machinery—from automated container transport to agricultural and construction equipment. The platform combines embedded powertrain firmware with cloud-based energy management, user dashboards, and fleet monitoring. Products span power electronics (inverters, on-board chargers, DC/DC converters) and software layers across Linux, microcontroller, and serverless environments. Based in Pfullingen, Germany, the company operates a lean engineering-focused org (51–200 employees, 3 open engineering roles) with ongoing technical hiring in India.
Python and C++ for application logic; AWS services (IoT Core, Greengrass, Lambda, DynamoDB) for cloud backend; Modbus, MQTT, TCP/IP for device communication; ESP32 and Raspberry Pi for edge deployment; Docker and AWS ECS for containerization.
Edge gateway integration for field devices, serverless backend design, energy management platform (data pipelines and user management), and real-time fleet monitoring systems.
