You, just like we do, appreciate working with the complete development cycle, from idea to finished product, via proof of concept and implementation, using effective method 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, but also electronics and mechanics, where you will have the possibility to share ideas, experiences, and knowledge. You will thereby be able to influence design choices within all development disciplines.

What you will do

• Develop controller software in C++ and Golang, as well as tests. The controller is running 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 decision within company and across major customers together with the team.

• 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 degree or Master’s degree with significant professional experience developing software.
• Expert in writing portable, cross-platform, modern C++ code and experience in Go/Golang.
• Passion for embedded development and a wish 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 for 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 in reading schematics and basic use of oscilloscopes/logic analysers.
• Ability to work autonomously with strategic direction as well as part of a cross-disciplinary, international, product development team and 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.
