Job description

Embedded Software Engineer - C / C++ | RTOS | Amsterdam [€84K + Equity]

The hardware is already working, but there's plenty left to build and improve. You'll work across hardware, embedded software, Android and product, developing and debugging software that runs on physical devices used across 1,300+ locations. The embedded team is small, so you won't just be writing the code, you'll help decide how the software is designed, tested and built going forward.

My client

My client builds smart hydration systems that combine physical hardware, embedded software and digital products in one system. Their products are already deployed across more than 1,300 locations. The engineering organisation is relatively small, with embedded, hardware and software engineers working closely together. You'll join the embedded team and work directly with the people building the systems around it.

What you'll do

You'll work from requirements through implementation, testing and debugging on actual hardware, while working closely with hardware engineers, Android developers and product. The existing embedded codebase contains a mix of C and C++. Part of your work will be building new functionality. Another part will be understanding and improving existing software, fixing bugs and making the system more stable. The longer term goal is to move towards modern C++ and a more consistent approach to software design and architecture

You'll also contribute to code reviews, technical decisions and engineering standards within a small team. The role is not limited to your own code. Embedded software sits in the middle of the wider system, so you'll be involved in how the different technical disciplines work together.

Your profile

• 4+ years of professional experience with C or C++
• Experience with RTOS and or bare metal development in a real time environment
• Experience developing, debugging and testing embedded software on physical hardware
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or a related field, EQF 6+
• Fluent in English and
• Eligible to work in the Netherlands without visa sponsorship

What's in it for you

Up to €84K gross per year, including 8% holiday allowance + Equity.

• Hybrid setup (3x office, 2x flexible WFH.
• 26 paid holiday days
• travel compensation
• a pension plan
• Sports Club membership
• healthy lunches & quarterly team events.
