Willingness to travel between 20% and 30% of the time is required. Night shifts and weekend work may be needed during travel periods.
• Provides technical support to peers, other disciplines, and customers during project development, laboratory testing, homologation, initial operation, and service.
• Coordinates technical solutions with peers to maximize SW re-utilization, minimize the risk of bugs, and accelerate standardization.

  

Qualifications for the role 

• University (Higher Education) degree in Control Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or an equivalent field.
• Knowledge of SW development for closed-loop control, signal processing, algorithms, and real-time programming mechanisms.
• Experience with IEC 61131-3 programming languages (CODESYS), Matlab Simulink, and communication/field bus protocols (CAN, TRDP, J1939, MVB, ...) is considered an advantage.
• Knowledge of SW versioning tools (SVN, Git) is considered an advantage.
• Broad knowledge of converter control, power electronics, or automotive systems.
• Understanding of SW development process standards (such as EN 50657, EN 50128, or ISO 26262) is considered a plus.
• Ability to work effectively in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, learn quickly, and embrace new challenges.
• Fluency in Polish and English; German is considered a plus.
