A chance to work for a company that makes some of the most recognised solutions in its market, including cool stuff like cybersecurity 

Are you keen to deliver on the promise of Industry 4.0/IIOT to late adopters? How about introducing new concepts to older, mixed protocol systems so they can perform far beyond their original limits? If this and the thought of workingalongside an international bunch of techies floats your boat, read on.

The bulk of this job is analyzing complex technical problems, diagnosing their root cause, and finding solutions to help us get the most out of our products and those of other manufacturers. This requires a focus on teamwork and meeting goals. Our company’s leading position in the automated industry comes from innovative ideas, quality work, and customer centricity. 

As part of the R&D team, you’ll be responsible for maintenance-related tasks, new products and new features. Your day will start with our daily standup in which we discuss the progress of our 2-weekly sprints and distribute tasks to be done. In the longer term, you’ll be asked to investigate new technologies and developments that could be interesting for our product portfolio.

Let’s be clear. We’re not looking for the perfect candidate (we don’t believe in unicorns, although we’re pretty convinced that UFOs exist). What we need is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who has an inquisitive mind and a focus on what provides most value for the customer. Someone who lives by the mantra: “What can I do today to make the life of a network communications field technician so much easier?”

Sure, you need comprehensive knowledge of C++, software design patterns, operating systems and version management systems. That’s because we’ll be giving you the autonomy to develop and maintain our software and systems. You’ll also be expected to coach junior engineers. But if you haven’t worked with ARM hardware, don’t worry. We’ll soon get you up to speed.

Our internal processes revolve around mentorship and small teams. This means you’ll be given constructive feedback, the space to make your mark, and the support you need to improve the efficiency and stability of our applications. Sound good?

You’d be great for this position if, in addition to the geeky essentials, you:

• have a bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years’ experience in a relevant field;
• possess excellent verbal and written skills in English (we’re a global company);
• are self-motivated and passionate about your work and embedded systems;
• have considerable experience in working as part of a team and leading teams;
• are willing to propose ideas and to seek the best (not just the desired) path.

An agile mindset and a respect for our roadmap is much more important to us than your technical qualifications.

What will you get from us in return for all this awesomeness? First-hand experience with products that improve and safeguard vital industrial network communication systems; mentoring and a clear path to progression; and an enthusiastic and forward-thinking CTO (he forced us to put that last bit in). You’ll also get: 

• investment in your ongoing education, including professional certifications;
• the option to work partially remotely and/or on a flexible schedule;
• a competitive salary and all the usual secondary benefits, including pension;
• a COVID-free workspace in Delft, with on its doorstep the lively historic center and the train station.
