Software Engineer (Embedded / Industrial Systems)

Software Engineer (Embedded / Industrial Systems) At Movacolor, software is not an isolated discipline; it is at the core of how physical systems perform in the real world. We design and build high-precision dosing systems for the plastics industry, used globally in demanding industrial environments. The software you develop directly controls machines, materials, and processes, where reliability, accuracy, and performance truly matter. This is a role for engineers who want to build, understand, and improve real systems, not just abstract layers. It is based onsite in Sneek, where our systems are developed, tested, and improved hands‑on. Your environment You will be part of a small, multidisciplinary R&D team where software, systems, mechanical engineering, and product support come together. The challenge You will work in an environment where: • Software interacts directly with hardware, sensors, and motion control • Systems must perform reliably under real-world industrial conditions • A proven platform is continuously improved while the next generation is being shaped • Engineering decisions have a direct and visible impact on products in the field You will contribute to both • Strengthening and evolving an existing system • Building the foundation for future modular, distributed architectures The technology landscape • Linux-based embedded systems • Qt framework (GUI and control logic) • Industrial control systems with real-time behavior • Monolithic architecture evolving toward modular, microcontroller-driven systems • Increasing adoption of AI to support development, testing, and system insight What you bring • Minimum of 3 years' experience in embedded software development • A background in industrial automation, controls, or hardware-related environments (essential) • Strong experience with Linux-based embedded systems (essential) • Experience with C, C++ and Python (essential) • Confidence working in and improving existing and legacy systems (essential) • A hands-on mindset, curiosity, and a drive to continuously learn (essential) • Experience in working with C# and Qt • Experience in applying AI in software development (automation, scripting, AI agents) • Interest in architectural evolution and system design Why Movacolor • Work on real industrial products used across the globe • See your work move from code to machines in operation • Combine deep technical work with tangible impact • Be part of a company where engineering drives innovation • Contribute to shaping the next generation of our software platform • A competitive salary in accordance with the Metalektro collective labour agreement (scale H to J), depending on experience) • 8% holiday allowance • An excellent pension scheme through the PME pension fund • 27 vacation days and 13 scheduled days off based on full-time employment • A permanent employment contract • Participation in the company's results through a bonus • Travel allowance • An annual investment in your professional and personal development • Discount on your health insurance • A tasty lunch together with your colleagues, at our expense If you're an engineer who wants to go beyond code and build systems that operate in the real world, we would like to connect.
