Overview

Production Engineer | Python / C++ / Linux | Stuttgart | Onsite / hybrid

📍 Stuttgart region • Onsite / hybrid • Fixed-term (2 years, option to go permanent) • €65,000 base

A highly specialised high-tech measurement technology company is looking for a Production Engineer / Software Engineer to support the transition of complex fiber optic measurement systems from development into series production.

This role sits between software, hardware, and production, with a strong focus on test automation, calibration, and production tooling rather than classic application development.

Responsibilities

• Supporting New Production Introduction (NPI) for complex optical measurement systems
• Developing and maintaining:
  • Module and system test routines
  • Production software scripts
  • Calibration and validation routines
• Writing and reviewing work instructions for production
• Supporting production teams during ramp-up and start-of-production
• Working closely with R&D, production, and quality teams

Technical environment

• Python, C / C++
• Linux-based systems
• Hardware-related programming
• Digital interfaces & bus systems
• Measurement systems & test environments
• Close interaction with electronics and optical hardware

What they’re looking for

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++
• Solid understanding of hardware-near software
• Very good Linux knowledge
• Comfortable working in a production / engineering environment
• German (C2) and English (C1+)

Why consider it?

• Work on cutting-edge fiber optic sensing technology used in critical infrastructure
• Rare mix of software + hardware + production
• High learning curve and strong technical depth
• 2-year fixed-term contract with a clear path to permanency
• Stable company with long-term products (independent HP spin-off)

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building tools that make complex hardware reproducible at scale, rather than pure product or web development.
