Mechatronics Engineer

Job Description
We’re looking for a Mechatronics Engineer with a focus on embedded software development for actuator motor control.

In this hands-on role, you’ll be part of a cross-functional team within Danfoss Climate Solutions, working on smart actuator technologies for district energy systems. You’ll develop real products — combining embedded software, electronics, and mechanics — and see them come to life through testing and integration.

We welcome applicants of all genders, ages, and backgrounds — if the role excites you and you meet most of the requirements, we encourage you to apply

This is primarily an onsite role based in Ljubljana, Trata, where hands-on collaboration and hardware testing are essential to the work.

Job Responsibilities
Software & Development

• Develop embedded software for motor drivers (BLDC and stepper) — with focus on performance, reliability, low memory use, and cost optimization
• Write and maintain unit tests to ensure high-quality code
• Contribute to platform-level development that supports multiple product lines
  
  

Collaboration & Testing

• Work closely with software, hardware, mechanical engineers, and colleagues from production, quality, and testing labs
• Specify and implement manual and automated integration tests covering software, electronics, and mechanical components
• Be actively involved throughout the full embedded development lifecycle, from idea to validation
  
  

Background & Skills
You have a few years of experience in embedded software development and:

• Solid knowledge of embedded C
• Bonus: some experience with Python
• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field (software, computer science, electronics, mechatronics) is preferred — but equivalent hands-on experience works too
• As part of a global team, strong English communication skills (written and spoken) are essential
  
  

You’re Excited To Work With

• Motor control : BLDC / stepper motors
• Cortex-M3/M4/M7/M33 processors (especially STMicroelectronics)
• Communication protocols : RS485, TCP/IP, Modbus, BACnet, BLE, Zigbee
• Version control : Git
• Build & scripting tools : CMake, Python, PowerShell, YAML
• Software development practices : Agile (Scrum), DevOps, SSDLC
• Quality tools : Static code analysis, unit/integration test frameworks
  
  

Employee Benefits
We are excited to offer you the following benefits with your employment:

• Bonus system
• Paid vacation
• Flexible working hours
• Possibility to work remotely
• Pension plan
• Personal insurance
• Communication package
