Collaborating with hardware, mechanical, test, and regulatory engineers.
Reviewing code and software architectures, and contributing to risk analyses.
Contribute to the verification, validation, and release of software modules.
Supporting customers and project teams with technical issues.
Contribute ideas on process improvements, tooling, and best practices within the R&D department.

You master

A completed associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
At least 3 years of experience in embedded software development, preferably on STM32 platforms.
Experience with C and, preferably, Python as well.
Experience with GitLab and familiarity with version control and CI/CD environments. Experience integrating hardware and embedded software, such as sensors, motor controllers, or communication protocols (I²C, UART, USB, BLE).
Familiarity with unit testing.
Familiarity with static code analysis tools
An interest in creating and documenting software architecture and design.
Experience with on-chip debugging of embedded software.
Knowledge of regulated development processes (ISO 13485, IEC 62304).
Strong communication skills in Dutch (a major plus) and English.
An analytical, pragmatic, and hands-on approach.

In return, you'll get

A one-year contract for 38 hours per week (32 hours negotiable) with the possibility of a permanent position.
Competitive salary ranging from €3,440.00 to €5,107.00 (depending on education and experience).
35 days of vacation for full-time employees.
Pension plan at ASR.
Reimbursement of travel expenses and the option to work (partly) from home by mutual agreement.
Training opportunities and coaching in both technical and personal development.
An innovative work environment where you can make a direct impact on the development of medical technology.

FAQs

How technical is this role?

The role is highly technical. You’ll work with C and, at times, Python and embedded systems (including STM32 platforms). You’ll also be involved in hardware integration, unit testing, and static code analysis. CI/CD and GitLab are the tools you’ll use for these tasks.

Do I need experience with medical software or regulated development?

This isn’t a strict requirement, but it is a strong plus. Experience with ISO 13485, IEC 62304, and working in a regulated environment will help you settle into your role more quickly.

What does a typical workday look like?

A typical day involves developing and testing embedded software. You’ll conduct code reviews and architecture discussions, collaborate with hardware and test teams, and engage in debugging and on-chip testing. You’ll also contribute to validation and release processes.

Is this a position for junior or more experienced engineers?

This is a mid-level to senior role. At a minimum, you’re expected to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree, along with approximately 3 years of experience in embedded software development, C, and embedded systems. There’s room for growth within the team.

What technologies and tools are used?

You’ll work with C/Python, STM32 embedded platforms, GitLab (CI/CD), communication protocols (I²C, UART, USB, BLE), and debugging tools and static analysis, among other things.

What makes working at Unitron different from other software jobs?

Your software is used in actual medical devices, has a direct impact on patient care, and must comply with strict regulations and quality standards. That makes the work both substantively and socially relevant.
