  • Share your technical expertise, support the growth of colleagues, and actively contribute to a collaborative engineering culture.

Requirements

  • A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

  • Several years of experience developing low‑level software for power electronics, such as inverters, switch‑mode power supplies, amplifiers, or comparable systems

  • Strong understanding of physical effects—voltage, current, temperature, and related factors—and how they influence dynamic behavior and component interactions

  • Proven expertise in signal processing and control loop design, including the ability to partition functions deliberately into analog and digital components to achieve superior system performance

  • Excellent programming skills in C++, including sound API design and object‑oriented programming principles, as well as proficiency in C and ARM assembly

Your benefits

  • Flexible working hours

  • 30 vacation days plus 5 special leave days and 5 baby leave days
