Embedded Systems Engineer: PCB Design & Machine Control

Coats; Lavergne; Hybrid; EUR 78,000 - 113,000; Full time

Job summary

Coats is seeking a Software Engineer II to design, develop, and maintain embedded software powering automotive service equipment, while owning PCB design for the electronic control boards those machines run on. This is a hands-on, hybrid role that spans firmware development, sensor and drive integration, and schematic capture in Altium.

The role partners closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to take machine control systems from requirements through production and field

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent.
• 4–8 years of experience combining embedded software development with electrical/PCB design.
• Hands-on experience developing embedded software controlling physical hardware.
• C# / .NET or C/C++ for embedded or Windows-based machine control apps.
• Experience with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Basic electrical design skills and BOM generation experience.
• Experience with board-level and component-level testing.
• Strong OO and embedded software design knowledge.
• Git and bug-tracking experience; Atlassian a plus.
• Ability to manage full lifecycle of hardware-integrated systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, debug, and test embedded firmware and software for automotive service machines.
• Interface software with sensors, motors, and control hardware for real-time behavior.
