The Role

We are seeking an experienced, skilled, and self‑driven Principal Embedded Software Engineer, with a system mindset and an interest in exciting technology.

You appreciate working with the complete development cycle, from idea to finished product, via proof of concept and implementation, using effective methods and tools.

Your primary focus will be to develop control software in C++ and Go as well as associated software architecture in cooperation with developers from both the local office and from other offices within the global organization. You appreciate the system level view, how the software interacts with the hardware, how different customers use the products and how this knowledge can be used in the architectural and prioritization work.

You will be part of an experienced and passionate team that develops software, electronics and mechanics, where you can share ideas, experiences and knowledge and influence design choices across development disciplines.

What you will do:

• Develop controller software in C++ and Golang, as well as tests. The controller runs an embedded Linux and cooperates with other components within a printer, such as MCUs and FPGA.
• Interface with other engineering disciplines, engineering teams, stakeholders and customers to understand the application space and business requirements.
• Influence technology selection and decisions within the company and across major customers together with the team.
• Lead and facilitate high‑level software estimation to support business planning activities.
• Mentor and teach other software engineers to improve their skills.
• Lead design reviews and drive improvements in design and code quality produced by internal and external engineers.
• Influence and inspire others through personal credibility.
• Drive continuous improvement in source control and continuous integration by staying up to date with the latest industry practices and tools.
• Work closely together in the team to achieve the team’s goals.
• Test and fault‑find code written by yourself and by others.

What you need to have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with significant professional experience developing software.
• Expertise in writing portable, cross‑platform, modern C++ code and experience in Go/Golang.
• Passion for embedded development and a desire to succeed through teamwork and cooperation.
• Demonstrable record of developing high‑quality embedded software for end‑user products from requirements analysis to delivery.
• Experience with cross‑functional, multi‑cultural, or globally distributed team collaboration.
• Demonstrable experience in a technical leadership role within a software team and with external engineering resources.
• Experience developing software on Linux and Windows host environments.
• Expert architecture and design skills such as functional decomposition, architectural viewpoints, UML/SYSML and design patterns.
• Advanced knowledge and experience with implementation skills such as object‑oriented programming, pair programming, memory management, distributed systems programming, multi‑threaded programming and on‑target debugging.
• Expert knowledge of verification skills such as test‑driven development, unit testing, code reviews and defect characterization.
• Advanced requirement analysis and planning skills such as user story development, backlog management, high‑level estimation and detailed estimation.
• Expert knowledge of real‑time operating system concepts and experience in their use.
• Advanced configuration management skills such as revision control, continuous integration, continuous deployment, automated build systems, release management and technical documentation.
• Working knowledge of modern development practices, exposure to agile methodology and experience with Git and related flows.
• Advanced knowledge of electronics including micro‑controllers, memory, and peripherals as well as reading schematics and basic use of oscilloscopes/logic analysers.
• Ability to work autonomously with strategic direction and as part of a cross‑disciplinary, international product development team to develop and deliver whole features through small groups of engineers using user stories and epics.
• Excellent interpersonal, written and oral communication skills, with an ability to influence and build strong, credible relationships.
• Swedish/French/Italian/Polish language skill would be beneficial but is not a requirement.

You’ll only be the right candidate if you are aligned to our values and culture:

• Winning through customers.
• High ethical standards, openness and trust.
• Expectations for results.
• Respect and value people.
