A local role with global impact 

You will join our newly established Embedded Software Team in Augsburg, Germany, and collaborate closely with our team in Ballerup, Denmark. Together, the two teams consist of nine embedded developers and two software test engineers. 

We develop a modular embedded platform using Yocto/Linux, C, and C++, and you will work side by side with colleagues from Application Software, Hardware, Systems Engineering, and Marketing. Working as one connected unit is important to us, we help each other succeed, and we believe a supportive environment brings out the best in everyone. 

Our culture is grounded in trust, openness, and a willingness to learn. We value a growth mindset over perfection.

• A structured, user-centered approach to prioritization 

• Experience with medical device standards (ISO 13485, IEC 62304, FDA, SaMD) , or with working in any highly regulated industry,  is a strong plus.

• You empower the team by giving clarity, purpose, and direction, and they feel supported because of it. 

• You turn complex needs into meaningful, well-shaped features that help bring our products to life. 

• You build strong relationships and bring people together, proactively aligning stakeholders across functions and locations.
