What's on the menu?

As Orbisk's Embedded Software Engineer you get to work on the face of the company - literally. Because our Orbi device is where it all starts and the most important component within our customer’s kitchens. As Orbisk's Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for improving and maintaining the software running on our embedded devices. 

While our software development team focuses on the backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure - the hardware team handles hardware engineering, assembly manuals, quality control procedures, and testing procedures. You will serve as the critical link between these two teams, ensuring seamless integration and operation. Parts of your weekly routine will be working on new features, planned tickets, troubleshooting and making structural device improvements.

The key ingredients for success: 

• 3-5 years of experience in embedded software development, with strong proficiency in C/C++ for microcontrollers, sensor interfaces, and wireless communication protocols.

• In-depth knowledge of embedded Linux, including kernel configuration, device drivers and build systems.

• Hands-on with hardware, comfortable debugging electronics and PCBAs, identifying defects, and collaborating closely with hardware engineering teams.

• Proficient in higher-level programming with Golang or Python for tooling, scripting, or backend integration.

• Self-driven and capable of independent ownership, taking projects from concept to implementation while also contributing effectively within cross-functional teams.
