Lead Embedded Software Engineer

• Job offer expiration: 04/04/2026
• Type of work: Hybrid
• Role: Individual Contributor / Specialist
• Location: Europe, Denmark

Embedded Firmware Development

• Develop firmware for M-System MKIII, PCH 1026 series, and unified monitoring platforms, following the Monitoring Solutions role map for mid-level firmware engineers. Responsibilities include implementing, maintaining, and optimizing drivers for sensors, accelerometers, communication interfaces, and internal self-test routines.

Hardware-Firmware Integration

• Validate firmware functionality on updated hardware platforms, such as new mainboard samples for the PCH 1026. Responsibilities include conducting board bring-up, debugging, and functional verification in collaboration with hardware engineering teams, and participating in obsolescence-driven redesigns involving accelerometers, PCBs, and component substitutions as referenced in the PCH 1026 Roadmap.

Product Verification & Compliance

• Support EMC testing, safety function validation, and certification updates impacted by firmware changes, such as DNV-GL GL2010. The role maintains compatibility across firmware versions using KK’s CCW/BCW (Compatibility Control Word) mapping practices.

Tooling, Versioning & Documentation

• Use GitLab and Microchip Studio / Atmel Studio-based toolchains for code management. Responsibilities include producing technical documentation such as release notes, change logs, firmware interface descriptions, register maps, and verification logs. 

Experience

• 3+ years of embedded firmware development experience in industrial, safety-critical, or sensor-driven systems. A background in vibration monitoring, control systems, or industrial electronics is advantageous.

Technical Skills

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, experience with Microchip/Atmel microcontrollers, DSPs, or ARM-based SoCs, and familiarity with Yocto, Linux boot architectures, U-Boot, systemd, and secure firmware frameworks. Additional skills include experience with Modbus/RS485, USB service port interfaces, register-mapped device control, understanding CCW/BCW compatibility requirements, multi-processor firmware coordination, and the ability to diagnose hardware-firmware interaction issues using oscilloscopes, analyzers, and laboratory tools.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Systems, Hardware, Test & Validation, Production, and Customer Engineering teams. The role supports customer approvals when firmware changes require formal validation and participates in roadmap activities for next-generation monitoring platforms and industrial variants.

Soft Skills & Language Skills

• Demonstrated structured problem-solving ability and robust documentation discipline. Strong communication skills are essential for coordinating across hardware, validation, and product teams. The engineer should be able to work effectively in rapid product iteration cycles while maintaining discipline around frozen firmware baselines.
• Fluent in English & Danish

If you feel you meet most—but not all—criteria, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, growth mindset, and practical problem-solving just as much as specific experience.

Location

This role is based in our office in Copenhagen with flexibility for hybrid work.
