Job description

Overview

Indicate which region you are active in. Based on your region, the correct language and data will load.

Design, implement, and integrate intelligent control solutions for agricultural machinery that increase operational efficiency, data transparency, and safety across Oxbo’s technology portfolio. Operating in a global environment, you will create real‑time control behavior (drive systems, hydraulics, autonomy, and safety), using model‑based design and embedded development to deliver standardized, high‑quality solutions for precision agriculture.

Responsibilities

• Control & Autonomy: Develop and tune real‑time control algorithms for drive systems, electro‑hydraulics, safety logic, and advanced features such as path planning, collision avoidance, and autonomous harvesting.
• Embedded Integration: Design and integrate controls with embedded ECUs, sensors, actuators, and machine hardware; implement redundancy and safety mechanisms.
• Validation & Simulation: Build and maintain plant models; perform MIL/SIL (and bench/field) testing; analyze results and iterate to meet performance and safety targets.
• Communication & Connectivity: Configure and validate CAN bus communication (J1939; ISOBUS/ISO11783 preferred); support telemetry/connectivity integrations.
• Requirements & Quality: Capture and manage requirements (e.g., Codebeamer/Polarion), support DFMEA and compliance with global standards and architectural guidelines.
• Process & Reuse: Apply modular design; create reusable software blocks and contribute to shared libraries; identify bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement in model‑based workflows.
• Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with mechanical, electrical, automation, and software teams, as well as global suppliers/partners; communicate progress, risks, and decisions with stakeholders.
• Documentation & Enablement: Maintain technical documentation, contribute to knowledge sharing, and (as applicable) support training for engineers, service teams, and other stakeholders.
• Safety & Commissioning: Follow safety policies and best practices during development, testing, and machine commissioning.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s in Mechatronics, Electrical, Control/Automation, Software/Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related fields; Master’s is a plus.
• Core Experience: Real‑time embedded development and/or industrial/off‑highway automation; model‑based design (MATLAB/Simulink) and Embedded C/C++; Git or similar VCS.
• Protocols & Tools: CAN bus, J1939 (ISOBUS/ISO11783 preferred); Vector CANoe/CANalyzer or equivalent; requirements/toolchain familiarity (Codebeamer/Polarion; Office tools).

Nice to have

• ROS or similar middleware; ladder logic for specific PLC/controls contexts.
• Telemetry/telematics and connectivity systems.
• Experience with global, standardized toolchains and shared architectures.

Interpersonal Skills

• Clear, proactive communication with technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Strong teamwork in global, cross‑functional setups; sense of ownership and accountability.
• Analytical problem‑solving; ability to negotiate trade‑offs with internal teams and suppliers.
• Continuous improvement mindset; commitment to safety, quality, and process adherence.
