Software Developer - Control Systems & Heat Pumps

About the Role
Are you passionate about sustainable technology and modern software engineering? Join our cross-functional team in developing the next generation of energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions. In this role, you will help design, implement, and optimize intelligent control and regulation algorithms for state-of-the-art heat pumps, directly contributing to the global energy transition.
Your contribution
Shape the future: Develop control and regulation functions for our latest heat pumps, actively driving forward innovative algorithms for energy-efficient, resource-saving heating and cooling systems.
Take a holistic approach: Guide software functions throughout their full lifecycle—from requirements gathering and concept simulation through to implementation and verification across multiple testing levels (MIL, SIL, HIL).
Realize model-based software: Design and optimize model-based software functions in Matlab/Simulink for the closed-loop control of thermodynamic and hydraulic systems.
Implement software: Apply modern software development practices and text-based languages (e.g., C/C++), utilizing modern engineering and AI-assisted tools to advance embedded software modules.
Validate & test: Commission and test application software on cutting-edge heat pump test benches, supporting rapid prototyping and real-world system validation.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Work in an international, agile environment, collaborating closely with experts across software, electronics, HMI, hydraulics, and thermodynamics.
What You Bring
Education: Degree (Bachelor's or Master's) in Mechatronics, Control Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Process Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical engineering background).
Core Competencies:
Solid foundational understanding of control engineering, mechatronic systems, or thermodynamic processes.
Practical experience in software development—either through model-based development (Matlab/Simulink) or text-based embedded programming (C/C++).
Working familiarity with software testing or simulation concepts (e.g., MIL, SIL, or HIL).
Languages: Working proficiency / business fluency in English (written and spoken).
Mindset: Solution-oriented mindset, strong curiosity for clean energy technologies, and an eagerness to learn and grow within an international team.
Nice to Have
Several years of dedicated industry experience in embedded software or controls engineering.
Knowledge of HVAC systems, refrigeration cycles, or hydraulic systems.
Experience with bus protocols and communication interfaces (e.g., CAN, LIN, Modbus, MQTT).
Familiarity with agile development practices (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and modern CI/CD tooling (e.g., Git, Jira, Jenkins).

Skills
C++, Git, CI/CD, Jenkins, Agile, Scrum, Jira, Prototyping, HVAC, MATLAB
