We have an excellent software development team full of both experienced professionals and growing juniors, but are still eagerly looking for new colleagues to join us and help us make some awesome high-tech stuff! Backlog is full for years to come, and there are many roles and tasks available in the SW team, which we can tailor together based on your expertise and career ambitions.
Currently we are looking for a more seasoned SW Developer, with experience on embedded software development and also ambition and capability to steer a work stream towards targets. We need a person who can walk in, see what needs to be done, and jump directly at it with the team. In addition to the hands-on implementation of top quality software, you’ll work closely with other teams (system engineering, RF, HW, testing) to figure out what the software needs to do and how the system should work. You get to work with absolutely cutting-edge technologies, and are guaranteed to learn something new along the way!

Would be good to know your way around hardware interfaces and communication protocols and have some knowledge about FPGAs. Familiarity with tools like JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers will help you to participate in debugging more efficiently, but is not mandatory.
Tasks can be tailored based on your expertise, so don’t hesitate to apply and see where it takes us. We appreciate if you accompany your application with a motivation letter, giving us an insight on what you can do, would like to do and learn, and which kind of role and responsibilities you would be interested in.
