Senior Software Engineer (.NET)

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work in the R&D department on new projects for our business units in the intralogistics and food industries. You develop advanced automated production lines (such as palletising, picking, welding and vision inspection), where mechanics, electronics and software come together. At the same time, you build modern, greenfield .NET platforms that control, monitor and enhance these systems with intelligence. In this role, you combine:

• High-end software engineering (architecture and platform development).
• Direct impact in the physical world (robots controlled by your code).

You design and deliver scalable, robust software platforms for machines and robot cells. You work with modern technologies such as event-driven architectures, containerised services, configurable data flows and AI integrations (e.g. vision and path planning). Together with Software Engineers and multidisciplinary teams within AWL, you ensure that systems not only operate locally but can also be monitored, maintained and updated remotely. In summary, you are responsible for:

• Designing and developing greenfield .NET platforms;
• Building software for complex machines and robotic cells;
• Setting up event-driven and distributed architectures;
• Integrating monitoring, diagnostics and update capabilities;
• Working with modern .NET technologies (AOT, async patterns, analyzers);
• Applying AI-assisted development;
• Collaborating in an iterative development process.

We fill our vacancies through our own recruitment department. We therefore do not welcome unsolicited approaches in relation to this vacancy. Unsolicited profiles, CVs or candidate proposals from agencies (in any form whatsoever) will be regarded as direct applications from the candidate themselves. No rights may be derived from these, and no remuneration is payable in respect of them.

• Pleasant and dynamic working environment within a collaborative and ambitious team with a high degree of autonomy, * A Masters degree and strong experience with .NET / C# and modern software development;
• Experience with software architecture, distributed systems and modern development practices (testing, observability, performance);
• Experience with AI-assisted development (such as Cursor or similar) is a strong plus;
• Affinity with event-driven systems and scalable platforms;
• Interest in or affinity with machine building and robotics. Experience is not required, as you will work together with domain experts.

• salary between €4,600 and €6,100 gross per month, depending on your experience;
• Challenging and innovative work environment where you can develop yourself and make a directly visible impact: your software controls physical systems worldwide;
• A comprehensive secondary benefits package (in line with the Metalektro collective labour agreement), including 27 vacation days and 13 ADV days;
• Plenty of opportunities for personal development, including access to our AWL Academy with over 50 training programmes and participation in our vitality programme “Boost Your Life”.
