Job description

Software Architect - Embedded Systems to Husqvarna Construction

Are you passionate about software architecture and shaping the technical future of connected high-quality machinery and tools that professionals rely on every day? Do you want to take a leading role in defining how software is designed and built across a global product portfolio?

Husqvarna Construction is a world leader in machinery and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries. Behind every product is a team developing sophisticated drive systems - power electronics, hard real-time software, machine behaviour, diagnostics, connectivity, and user interfaces. We are now looking for a Software Architect to own the overall software architecture and help shape what comes next.

About the role

As Software Architect you own the technical direction of our software, from embedded systems to cloud services. You make architecture decisions that stick, keep the long-term picture in focus, and help developers translate that vision into solid, maintainable code.

Concretely, you will:

• Set and drive the technical direction for products, platforms and related services
• Define architecture, choose technologies and make sure decisions are understood and followed across teams
• Identify risks and technical debt early, and make sure scalability, security and maintainability are built in from the start
• Translate business requirements into technical solutions and contribute to standardisation and modularity across products
• Support developers in turning architecture into practice through guidelines, code standards and hands-on input
• Act as a technical mentor and be the go-to person for architecture questions across the engineering teams

If you are as passionate about software architecture and solving complex technical challenges as we are, you probably cannot wait to work in a role where your technical decisions and strategies define how great products are built, today and in the future.

Profile and experience

To be successful in this role you need to have

• A degree in software, electronics or a related field
• At least 8-10 years of experience in product-oriented software development, ideally using C/C++, Python and Java/TypeScript
• Several years of experience in software architecture and system design in complex product environments
• Experience with connected products, real-time operating systems, hardware-near programming and communication protocols
• Good understanding of CI/CD, automated testing and quality processes
• Fluency in English, and preferably Swedish

It is also important that you can explain complex architectural trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, you build trust naturally, and you have the patience and persistence that long-cycle product development requires.

At Husqvarna Construction we strive to have a work environment that is inclusive and diverse, where we believe that our differences are our strengths. Our winning culture is important to us, which is why we go by the beliefs: We are Bold, We are Dedicated and We Care.

For more than 325 years we have driven innovation and technology development exceeding end-customers expectations. Husqvarna Construction, a division of the Husqvarna Group, is a world leader in machinery and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries. The foundation is built on product and technology leadership ensured by high investment levels in user-focused product development to offer professional end-users the most effective and efficient solutions.
