Does this dynamic sector seem rather unfamiliar to you? No problem! As long as you have a healthy interest and embedded software development is music to your ears, we would like to hear from you.
Your contribution
In this role, you are the specialist in the development of software applications on high-tech electronics applied in the many facets of energy transition (such as monitoring and managing solar panels, charging stations, heat pumps and combinations thereof (EMS)). You are part of a multidisciplinary team within the R&D department, in which you use your knowledge and expertise to contribute to the growth of our organisation.
Your tasks are as follows:
- Developing the software for our EMS (energy management solutions) on the basis of the requirements of the market and the technical possibilities.
- Developing software in C/C++ for new applications.
- Maintaining existing firmware.
- Documenting the software operation (such as design and test documentation).
- Contributing to the architectural, testing and production tools.
- Validating the proper functioning of the software through the development of test scripts.
- Handling escalated support questions.
Your personality and strengths
- You have a technical master’s education or equivalent through experience.
- You have 3 to 10 years of work experience in the field of embedded software engineering.
- You have excellent knowledge of embedded C/C++ development and experience with the development of communication protocols.
- You have experience with both bare metal microcontroller developing and Embedded Linux.
- Experience with IOT platforms and technologies is a plus.
- You have an affinity with hardware (reading diagrams, taking measurements with an oscilloscope, ..)
- Your knowledge of TCL/TK, TCP/IP, RF and GSM technologies is a plus.
- You are analytical, precise, a problem solver and have a healthy dose of common sense.
- You are proactive, enthusiastic and enjoy taking the initiative.
- You are a team player and can also work independently.
- You are a strong communicator and know how to back your opinion. You are constructively critical and dare to give feedback.
- You are young at heart, open-minded and know how to deal with change. You can also cope with a dynamic, changing company. You are stress resistant and know how to deal with the unexpected.
- You realise that you are the one driving your career and your personal development. You can make suggestions about what you need for that.
- You have a good knowledge of English. Knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
Are you looking for a position that is strongly delineated, for one with a gigantic company, or do you prefer not to go along with changes? That is OK of course, but then Xemex is not the right place for you.
Our offer
- You will have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an organisation in a dynamic sector. You will be part of an ambitious company which has a personal character, where there is room for personal growth and development.
- An attractive salary, supplemented with extralegal benefits.
- A full-time contract of indefinite duration.
