Our consumer electronics manufacturing client is seeking an experienced Software Engineer. This role will contribute directly to the design, development, and testing of software solutions that support our products and R&D activities. This role is hands-on and technical, focusing on PC-based applications (primarily Windows), GUI development, and internal tools. The position is ideal for a versatile engineer comfortable working across design, implementation, testing, and validation.
What you will be doing:
- Developing PC-based applications primarily in C++, with at least one additional programming language.
- Continuing the development of existing embedded software.
- Build and refine graphical user interfaces using Qt and ImGUI.
- Perform software testing, verification, and validation activities to ensure reliability and performance.
- Develop test cases, test utilities, and documentation to support validation processes.
- Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to translate requirements into robust software solutions.
- Support R&D activities by developing prototypes, tools, and utilities as needed.
- Manage version control, branching, and code reviews through established repository workflows.
- Maintain high coding standards, documentation, and traceability.
- Integrate software with hardware components and internal systems where required.
- Troubleshoot, debug, and maintain existing applications and tools.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in C++ and at least one additional language (e.g., Python, C#, Java or similar).
- Experience developing PC-based applications, preferably in Windows environments.
- Hands-on experience with GUI frameworks, particularly Qt and ImGUI.
- Good understanding of design, testing, verification, and validation practices.
- Strong knowledge of source control systems (Git or similar) and modern development workflows.
- Solid debugging, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
- 5+ years of software development experience.
