Embedded Software Engineer

About the role

In this position, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and verifying embedded software used in power electronics applications. You will own the full software development lifecycle—from initial requirements analysis to implementation, system integration, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation.

Working closely with hardware engineers, FPGA developers, software architects, and testing teams across global locations (UK, USA, India, and Finland), you will help ensure software designs meet strict reliability, safety, and performance standards.

Work tasks

• Design & Implementation: Develop embedded C/C++ software for real-time control systems.
• Architecture & Requirements: Maintain software requirement specifications and architecture documentation, ensuring full traceability in JIRA.
• Quality & Reliability: Perform unit testing, code reviews, and static analysis to uphold internal safety and quality standards.
• Testing & Validation: Support system-level validation and HIL testing activities.
• Problem Solving: Analyze and debug complex runtime, timing, or integration issues in laboratory environments.
• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to enhancing software development processes and tooling.

We are looking for

• Education: Degree (M.Sc. or B.Sc.) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience: Solid background in embedded software development (C/C++) for real-time systems.
• Technical Skills:
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS, e.g., VxWorks).
• Hands-on experience with embedded development tools and debuggers.
• Understanding of hardware-software interfaces and FPGA/microcontroller architectures.
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and defect tracking tools (JIRA).
• Mindset & Communication: A structured, proactive approach to problem-solving with fluent professional English.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with energy grid systems or power electronics (e.g., HVDC, FACTS, STATCOM).
• Knowledge of communication protocols (e.g., IEC61850, DNP3).
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink code generation or high-power laboratory testing equipment
