## Description

Are you passionate about developing intelligent control systems that drive innovation across real-world equipment platforms? In this role, you will help design and implement embedded software solutions that power Vermeer's next-generation machinery, used in industries like agriculture, construction, utilities, and more. You'll work alongside a collaborative team to build innovative, reliable, and efficient systems that help shape the next generation of intelligent, automated off-highway equipment.

What You'll Do

 1. Design, develop, and test embedded software using C, C++, and MATLAB/Simulink for real-time control systems.

 2. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate stakeholder needs into technical requirements and implement solutions that align with Vermeer's innovation goals.

 3. Develop and refine Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and user experiences for embedded control systems.

 4. Integrate and validate control systems using CAN protocols (e.g., SAE J1939) and serial communication standards.

 5. Support rapid prototyping and iterative development using Agile methodologies and DevOps practices such as Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and version control (Git, GitHub).

 6. Contribute to safety-critical system development with awareness of functional safety standards like International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 or International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61508., HYBRID: Some of a team member's day-to-day work may be best done at a location other than a Vermeer campus. Discuss specific arrangements with your manager.
