Front‑end / full‑stack HMI engineer (Embedded & Industrial Systems)

The Job

You will design and implement modern, web‑based HMIs for our industrial product family, spanning high‑speed embedded measurement devices and IPC‑class process systems. Beyond building dashboards, you will help shape a configurable and extensible HMI platform that allows users to create, adapt, and customize their own views and workflows. You will collaborate closely with C++ and systems engineers to deliver reliable, intuitive, and maintainable interfaces used in demanding industrial environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement configurable UI components and workflows that allow users to set up, customize, and extend dashboards and system views
• Build real‑time dashboards for measurement data, process calculations, and multi‑device coordination
• Contribute to backend development (C++ or related services) to support UI workflows and data models
• Implement efficient communication with embedded and IPC systems using WebSockets or similar protocols
• Create UI/UX mockups and prototypes (e.g., Figma) to validate concepts and workflows
• Optimize UI performance for embedded hardware and IPC‑class systems
• Work in an agile environment and contribute to DevOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and Git‑based development
• Help maintain a unified design system and reusable component library

Core technical skills

• Strong experience building modern web UIs with a contemporary frontend framework (e.g., Svelte, React, Vue, Angular)
• Background in industrial HMIs, dashboards, or hardware‑integrated systems
• Solid understanding of real‑time data visualization and state synchronization
• Experience contributing to backend development (C++, REST/WebSocket APIs, or similar)
• Familiarity with embedded constraints and IPC‑level architectures
• Comfortable with Git, CI/CD, agile development, and DevOps practices
• Very good spoken and written English for clear communication across teams and stakeholders
• Experience with industrial communication protocols such as OPC UA, ZeroMQ, or MQTT
• Background in embedded Linux or real‑time systems
• Knowledge of data visualization libraries for charts and real‑time plots
• Awareness of cybersecurity considerations for device‑hosted webservers
• Understanding of industrial HMI principles, including clarity, safety, and predictable operator workflows
• Skilled at creating clear, thoughtful UI/UX prototypes and design explorations
• Strong communicator who can explain design decisions objectively and convincingly
• Open‑minded, receptive to user feedback, and able to iterate quickly
• Works well in cross‑functional teams and balances user needs with technical feasibility
• Values maintainability, clarity, and long‑term product stability
