 * Designing, developing, documenting, and testing code you have written under the supervision of experienced engineers;
 * Getting involved in a multi-developer team;
 * Researching and utilising cutting-edge technologies;
 * Pair programming with an experienced developer;
 * Experiencing the full stack of software development opportunities as a valued team member;
 * Contributing to the development of embedded software solutions with a close link to hardware components (low-level communication layer, register control, FPGA, etc.).

You will contribute improvement ideas within a transnational organisation and use various programming languages, such as C, C++, Java, Python, and other technologies depending on the project you support.
