# Embedded Hardware/Software Engineer (low-power wireless IoT)

- **Company:** VersaSense
- **Location:** Leuven, Belgium
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** 3d Models, Altium Designer, C++ (Programming Language), Datasheets, Software Debugging, Electronic Design Automation, Embedded C, Embedded Software, Firmware, Joint Test Action (IEEE Standards), Real-Time Operating Systems, LoRaWaN, Schematic Capture, Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, Serial Peripheral Interface, Wireless Technologies
- **Published:** September 17, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.be/details/5886259402

## About the Role

You're comfortable on both sides of the hardware/firmware line. You can read a datasheet, design the board around the chip, and write the embedded code that drives it. You care about correctness because your work ends up where a wrong reading has real consequences.

 * Experience with designing embedded hardware and/or firmware, with real ownership of shipped products.
 * Schematic capture and PCB design in a professional tool (Altium or KiCad)
 * Strong embedded C/C++ on ARM MCUs (STM32 or comparable), and quick to pick up new stacks
 * RTOS experience with Zephyr or similar systems.
 * Experience or strong interest in low-power wireless technologies at depth: LoRaWAN, Mesh, BLE, antenna/RF layout, link budgets
 * Solid grasp of low-level interfaces and the mixed-signal design around them (SPI, I2C, UART, ADCs)
 * Hands-on with lab debugging: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD
 * Practical experience with at least one wireless technology (LoRa/LoRaWAN, BLE, or similar)
 * Experience with 3D design and printing (IoT prototypes do need an enclosure or at least some mechanical support)
 * You communicate clearly, navigate ambiguity without freezing, and push back on bad ideas without making it personal

Nice to Have

 * Background in industrial IoT, manufacturing, or other environments where reliability matters
 * Previous startup experience
 * Homebrew sensing, automation, or electronics projects you built because you wanted to, not because someone paid you

How We Work

Location: Leuven, Belgium / hybrid

Languages: English as the main working language, Dutch or French are nice to have

We list a few years of experience above, however, we are open to recent graduates who can show real passion for the IoT hardware/embedded software domain.

## Description

We're looking for an embedded engineer (payroll - full time) who lives at the boundary between hardware and firmware. This means someone who can design an IoT sensor device, lay out the board, and write the software code that runs on it.
