What You Bring

• Education: Degree (Bachelor's or Master's) in Mechatronics, Control Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Process Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical engineering background).
• Core Competencies:
• Solid foundational understanding of control engineering, mechatronic systems, or thermodynamic processes.
• Practical experience in software development-either through model-based development (Matlab/Simulink) or text-based embedded programming (C/C++).
• Working familiarity with software testing or simulation concepts (e.g., MIL, SIL, or HIL).
• Languages: Working proficiency / business fluency in English (written and spoken).
• Mindset: Solution-oriented mindset, strong curiosity for clean energy technologies, and an eagerness to learn and grow within an international team.

Nice to Have

• Several years of dedicated industry experience in embedded software or controls engineering.
• Knowledge of HVAC systems, refrigeration cycles, or hydraulic systems.
• Experience with bus protocols and communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, LIN, Modbus, MQTT).
• Familiarity with agile development practices (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and modern CI/CD tooling (e.g., Git, Jira, Jenkins).

Additional Information

What We Offer

• Impactful Mission: Play an active role in decarbonization and sustainable climate technologies.
• Flexible Working: Flexible working hours and hybrid work options for an optimal work-life balance.
• Continuous Growth: Access to cutting-edge development tools, AI tooling, and tailored technical/language training opportunities.
