Job description

At Dekimo Experts, we support our clients in carrying out innovative projects in the fields of embedded systems, electronics, and cutting-edge technologies. We work on engineering and R&D projects with a strong technological focus, in demanding environments—often real-time—at the heart of Industry 4.0 challenges.

With over 40 years of experience, we are part of a Belgian group with an international presence, firmly established in Belgium and also operating in the Netherlands, France, and Germany. Our consultants contribute to a wide range of projects in cutting-edge sectors such as aerospace, mobility, medtech, energy, and manufacturing.

As a developer, your role is to:

• Develop and maintain our SCADA X.
• Design and develop clear, responsive web interfaces for our dispatchers, and work on the back-end logic.
• Apply architectural design principles and software craftsmanship principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI) to build scalable, clean, maintainable and resilient code.

Collaborate in an Agile environment with analysts, dispatchers, and technical teams.

After a full onboarding, you join a shared on-call rotation (compensated, mostly remote) to ensure system availability and grid stability. Our tools run 24/7, and you never face a critical incident alone.

Requested profile: What you bring:

At least 3 years of relevant experience in an industrial OT environment, or a comparable real-time / critical environment.

You care about building reliable, well-designed software (good architecture, design patterns…) for industrial environments. Our systems run around the clock, so we build them to be robust, and you enjoy learning how.

You are proactive and curious, work in a structured way and take pride in keeping critical systems running, a responsibility shared by the whole team. You take initiative to improve our environment and practices.

You are a team player:

you enjoy solving problems together and working with peers, analysts, architects and business representatives. You take ownership of your tasks. You can always count on the support of your colleagues.

You communicate clearly, orally and in writing, with both technical and non-technical colleagues across teams. You mainly interact with your colleagues and the dispatchers, and occasionally with grid operators.

• Fluent English (spoken and written) is essential. Knowledge of French or Dutch is a plus for informal conversations between colleagues, but it is not required: if you only speak English, you are more than welcome to apply.

Nice to Have:

• A basic understanding of electricity production and the grid, or the wish to learn about it.
• Curiosity about cybersecurity in industrial systems; we support you in applying NIS 2 requirements.
• As part of this opportunity, you will work as a Dekimo consultant at one of our clients’ sites, while receiving support and guidance from our teams.
