• Take ownership of test deliverables to ensure compliance with quality, scalability, testability, and cyber security standards (e.g., IEC 62443-4-2).
• 
  
• Test embedded systems integrated with internal IO buses and industrial communication protocols such as PROFINET.
• 
  
• Participate in Agile cross-functional teams, sharing expertise and promoting best practices in testing and software development.
• 
  
• Manage and contribute to test development projects, collaborating with both hardware and software teams.
• 
  
• Continuously improve test strategies, propose R&D initiatives, and validate innovative ideas through structured experimentation.

Your Background

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 
  
• Proficiency in C, C++, and Python, with a strong foundation in computer science principles.
• 
  
• Experience working collaboratively in team-oriented environments, contributing to a positive and productive work culture.
• 
  
• Hands-on experience with development tools including:
• Azure DevOps, Git

• Unit testing frameworks, debug probes, and logic analyzers
• Solid understanding of structured software development processes, including requirements analysis, design, testing, and documentation.
• 
  
• Familiarity with ARM architecture, firmware, and bare-metal programming.
• 
  
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols like PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profibus, or Modbus is a strong advantage.
• 
  
• Experience with cybersecurity standards (IEC 62443-4-2), HMI firmware, and Bash/Python scripting is highly desirable.
• 
  
• Strong initiative, self-motivation, and organizational ability.
• 
  
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); Swedish is a plus but not required.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on next-generation embedded systems in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment. You’ll have a direct impact on product quality and contribute to mission-critical development that drives industrial automation forward.
