Embedded Linux/C++ Software Developer

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Embedded Linux/C++ Software Developer to join our hardware team, working on embedded systems at the core of our industry-leading condition monitoring products for wind turbines.

This is a hands-on, collaborative role where you’ll prototype new features, take ownership of key parts of the hardware devices codebase, and help evolve our existing systems. The role involves developing new functionality, shaping technical solutions, and improving existing code to meet the high standards required for industrial deployment.

Expect to work in a supportive engineering environment where robust, maintainable, and well-tested software is a shared goal — especially for systems operating in remote and demanding conditions.

What you’ll do:

• Develop and maintain embedded software for Linux-based monitoring systems

• Prototype new product features and contribute to product development cycles

• Take ownership of key software components and contribute to system architecture decisions

• Improve existing codebases for performance, reliability, and maintainability

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle

• Contribute to testing, validation, and documentation to ensure high software quality

Ideally, you’ll have/be:

Essential experience:
• 3–5+ years in embedded software development, preferably in an industrial setting
• Strong skills in:
o Embedded Linux, including Device Tree and GPIOs
o C/C++
o UART, CAN, Ethernet
o ARM-based platforms and cross-compilation
o GIT for version control

Nice to have:
• Familiarity with Python, Shell, Bash, or C#
• Experience with SPI, I2C, USB interfaces
• Knowledge of microcontrollers such as STM32 and IDEs like STM32Cube

Education:
• A degree in a relevant technical field (e.g. Computer Science, Electronic Engineering)
Who You Are
• Comfortable working across a multi-disciplinary team of engineers
• Practical, hands-on, and driven by solving real-world engineering problems
• Collaborative and communicative — keen to share ideas and improve as a team
• Focused on quality and continuous improvement
