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 existi...
