Senior Embedded Developer

Are you an embedded developer looking to work hands-on with cutting-edge software? Our Stockholm-based client offers top-tier facilities and complex projects spanning MedTech to security. Join a collaborative team and see your code make a real impact. Apply today, as we review applications on an ongoing basis!

About the role

Our client is an established technology consultancy specializing in advanced product development, smart connected solutions, and Internet of Things (IoT). They guide partners through the entire product lifecycle - from initial strategy and prototyping to final market launch within sectors such as Industry, MedTech, Defense, and Security. Operating as an independent entity within a major international corporate group, they combine the agility and close-knit culture of a smaller firm with the extensive resources and advanced technical facilities of a global enterprise. Here, you will join a collaborative, down-to-earth team working at the absolute forefront of technology.

We are currently seeking a talented senior Embedded Developer to join the embedded development team in Stockholm, focused on firmware engineering from concept to final release. The team thrives on a flat organizational structure and cross-functional collaboration, offering opportunities to interface with mechanics, electronics, and software to optimize the product functionality and user experience.

You will be employed by our client, but you will carry out your assignments directly with their end customers. Depending on the project, you will work on-site within the end customer's engineering team, either independently or alongside a colleague from the company. Because you will be embedded directly within external teams, it is essential that you feel confident in your own expertise and possess strong interpersonal and communication skills.
