• Debugging and resolving complex issues in embedded systems, and performing root cause investigations for bugs, utilizing tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware debuggers
• Planning software development activities, breaking larger work packages into tasks, estimating effort, and ensuring that planned items are delivered on time and at the required quality
• Providing consultation on development strategy and assessing related risks and technical gaps as early as possible
• Promoting best engineering practices and demonstrating sufficient knowledge and expertise in one's own developments
• Developing requirements for embedded software components of all complexity levels
• Implementing and maintaining tests for embedded software (e.g., embedded test programs, scripts)
• Collaborating with engineers of different disciplines in requirements and design activities related to embedded software (e.g., application development, hardware development)

YOUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES

• MSc or BSc degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent
• 3+ years of experience in Embedded Software development with the C programming language
• Experience with Version Control Systems, especially Git and Gitlab
• Experience in HIL testing for embedded targets with a hardware debugger or other tools
• Experience with requirements tools.

NICE TO HAVE

• Previous experience working in the semiconductor industry
• Good understanding of assembly language for RISC architectures, especially RISC-V
• Experience with working with Python
• Familiarity with Machine Learning concepts, Artificial Intelligence, and Artificial Neural Networks
• Experience with Mixed‑signal Integrated Circuit development processes
• Knowledge of analog and digital electrical circuits.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail
• Good organizational, planning, and documentation abilities
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.

WE OFFER YOU

• A dynamic working environment around a fearless engineering culture
• Ambitious teams with the freedom to innovate
• A Flexible working environment (work from home policy, flexible working hours, advantageous holiday scheme)
• An inclusive company culture that embraces communication, diversity, and support around holistic and personal development.
