Collaborating closely with customers and internal teams, you’ll help turn initial ideas into tangible products, often under tight deadlines.

  • Strong expertise in Modern C++ and C programming, gained in a commercial environment.
  • Solid experience with Linux system development (e.g., Yocto, Debian).
  • Proficiency in working with 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers (e.g., ARM, PIC, MSP430, DSP).
  • Familiarity with common protocols and buses such as Ethernet, USB, RS232, I2C, SPI.
  • Experience in embedded wireless module control (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, NFC).
  • A hands-on approach to using a variety of development environments and tools.
  • Ability to produce high-quality code and adhere to industry best practices.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for debugging and bug-fixing.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.



If you're an innovative, motivated software engineer with a passion for creating impactful products and enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-moving technical environment, we would love to hear from you.
