Software Developer - Control Systems & Heat Pumps

Job Description

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.

Qualifications

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).

Additional Information

What We Offer

• Impactful Mission: Play an active role in decarbonization and sustainable climate technologies.
• Flexible Working: Flexible working hours and hybrid work options for an optimal work-life balance.
• Continuous Growth: Access to cutting-edge development tools, AI tooling, and tailored technical/language training opportunities.
• Collaborative Culture: An open, appreciative, and international team environment with state-of-the-art laboratory and test bench facilities.
