We are currently looking for a Embedded Systems & R&D Engineer to join the team in the Zwolle Area.

Do you want to contribute to our safety?

As an Embedded Systems & R&D Engineer, you will be focusing on Unmanned Systems, working on advanced systems such as drones and specialized technical equipment all the way through the project – from concept and prototype to tested and integrated solutions. You will contribute on the embedded software development and system integration, in close collaboration with hardware and R&D Engineers. Hands-on testing and debugging are part of the role, with a strong emphasis on development, innovation and system reliability rather than service or maintenance work.

Responsibilities

• You will develop and maintain embedded software, mainly C/C++, eventually Python.
• You will work with microcontrollers and embedded hardware at a system level.
• You will integrate, test and debug hardware and software systems.
• You will contribute to R&D projects, prototypes and technical improvements.
• You will support technical analysis and problem-solving.
• You will document designs, tests and technical solutions.

Requirements

• You have an academic degree (BSc or MSc) in Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or another relevant domain.
• You have experience with embedded software development in C/C++.
• You have basic knowledge of electronics and the interaction hardware-software.
• You are analytical, precise and solution-oriented.
• You are eager to work within the high-tech industry, in defence or drone-related systems.
• You are proficient in English. Speaking Dutch is a nice-to-have.

It's an advantage if you have:

• Knowledge of embedded communication protocols (e.g. SPI, I²C, CAN, UART).
• Experience with testing in lab or R&D environments.
• Affinity with system integration or mechatronics.
