About The Position

We're looking for an Embedded Software & Controls Engineer to develop machine-control software for heavy equipment, from low-level drivers and board support packages to application-level control logic. The role combines hands-on C/C++ development on microcontrollers with model-based design using MATLAB and Simulink, translating machine requirements into reliable software running on real hardware.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience developing embedded software in C/C++ on microcontrollers, including bare-metal systems.
• Experience translating system requirements into models, control logic, and embedded implementations.
• Understanding of control systems and hardware/software interfaces, with experience integrating sensors, actuators, or operator inputs.
• Ability to debug embedded software and investigate issues across firmware, electronics, and machine behavior.
• Solid software engineering practices, including unit testing, Git workflows, code reviews, and continuous integration.
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines and work effectively within an Agile engineering team.
• Availability to travel to the US.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MATLAB and Simulink for model-based control development, simulation, and verification.
• Experience with heavy machinery, mobile equipment, or industrial machine-control systems.
• Familiarity with electrohydraulics, hydrostatic drives, pump and valve control, power management, or cooling systems.
• Experience spanning both low-level embedded development and application-level controls.
• Familiarity with Jenkins, GitHub, and GCC toolchains.
• Experience using engineering documentation and component datasheets, including through PLM tools such as Windchill.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ software for microcontrollers, including bare-metal firmware, hardware drivers, and board support packages (BSPs).
• Translate system and functional requirements into control models and software designs, collaborating with systems, hardware, and application engineering teams.
• Design, simulate, and verify control logic using MATLAB and Simulink, including model-level unit testing, and implement and integrate the resulting functionality in embedded C/C++.
• Develop machine-control applications, interfacing with joysticks, keypads, sensors, and electrohydraulic systems.
• Implement control logic for hydrostatic pumps and hydraulic valves, including flow metering and coordination with machine operating states.
• Develop and refine power management, cooling, and hydraulic fan control functionality.
• Debug and validate software across the embedded stack, from hardware interfaces and drivers to application behavior on the machine.
• Work within an Agile development process, maintaining requirements traceability, verification evidence, and software lifecycle documentation using tools such as Polarion.
• Contribute to code reviews, version control, automated builds, and continuous integration using GitHub, Jenkins, and GCC-based toolchains.
