Designer embedded software


Introduction:
Our software developers are involved in developing embedded software that is part of a product or a machine. Specifically the embedded layer is considered to be the low level software within the product’s software stack, communication with the electronic hardware or a hardware-software interface (HIS). This software layer is dealing with real-time demands and can represent e.g. a driver, firmware, sub-system software or control software. Developments are functional oriented, where the High-Tech environment demands a strong technical affinity or background from a software developer.

Job description:
The software designer reports to the software group leader and interacts with the software project lead, software architect and the application development team. You are able to specify, design, develop, realize, and test subsystems within the limits of the system architecture and specifications, costs and project planning.
