Senior Software Engineer (Embedded Systems)

Solutions for Every Season - We engineer and deliver precision ag hardware, software, and cloud-based platforms that connect every corner of the farm. 

​​We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer to architect and develop next-generation embedded ECU applications for retrofit harvest automation solutions. This role is pivotal in shaping the future of precision agriculture, leveraging the AEF ISOBUS 11783 standards to ensure seamless interoperability and robust performance in off-highway machinery. You will drive the full software development lifecycle, from requirements analysis to deployment, while mentoring junior engineers and leading technical initiatives in a collaborative, Agile environment.   ​ 

Your Impact 

• Architect and develop embedded firmware for ECUs using C/C , with Python scripting for test automation. Design and implement real-time control logic for agricultural machinery (e.g., steering, hydraulics) using state machines and algorithm optimization.   

• Integrate communication protocols including ISOBUS 11783, J1939, CANBUS, Bluetooth 5.0 & LE, and Wi-Fi modules for wireless data transmission and IoT connectivity.   

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, create technical roadmaps, and deliver high-quality, ISO 11783-compliant solutions for harvesters.   

• Lead and participate in MIL/SIL/HIL testing, simulation, and validation using tools such as CANalyzer, CANape, and Matlab/Simulink.   

• Implement adherence to functional safety standards (ISO 25119) and support certification processes (UL, CE) for global market compliance. Implement continuous improvement through metrics-driven development, automated testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines. Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation. 

Your Experience and Qualifications 

• 7 years in embedded software development, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree, preferably in agricultural/off-highway machinery and experience delivering complex, safety-critical systems. Experience in developing cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android (React Native or similar).  

• Strong command of C/C and scripting languages like Python, expertise in communication protocols (ISOBUS, J1939 CAN, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi), real-time control systems, and tools like RTOS (Zephyr), Matlab/Simulink, Git, and Jira.   

• Knowledge of agriculture/off-highway machinery, including harvesters and ISO 11783-compliant ECUs, along with proficiency in requirements analysis, MIL/SIL/HIL testing, and Agile methodologies.   

• Skilled in hardware troubleshooting (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), automated testing frameworks, and ideally experienced with ISO 25119 functional safety, MISRA C, and mobile application integration.   

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional Agile teams, mentor junior engineers, and resolve complex system failures, demonstrating quantifiable impact on integration time and feature delivery.
