Software Engineer

Are you an experienced software engineer who does not shy away from complex technical issues? For Benchmark, we are looking for a Software Engineer with deep expertise in C++, who takes substantive responsibility within challenging high-tech development trajectories.

As a Software Engineer, you will work within a multidisciplinary engineering team on the development of advanced software for high-tech systems. You are fully involved in the design, simulation, implementation, and verification phases of embedded application software and make a substantive contribution to technical choices and solution directions.

Within the Scrum team, your focus lies on:

You act as the technical point of contact for the customer and are able to clearly substantiate and communicate substantive considerations. Additionally, you report on progress, risks, and technical choices both externally (to the customer) and internally (to the project leader).

You will work in an international, high-tech environment where quality, reliability, and technical depth are central. Together with your team, you will develop innovative technology for a customer that is at the forefront of testing and measurement, radio and RF, cybersecurity, and secure communication. There is plenty of room to further deepen your expertise and make an impact at both the product and team levels.

• The design and (further) development of customer-specific embedded applications.

• The robust and maintainable implementation of software in C++.

• The verification and testing of functionality within complex systems.

At Benchmark, you work on products that matter! Additionally, we are ideally an organization where you are given freedom, where entrepreneurship is rewarded, and in which you are given the space to bring your ideas to fruition. We offer you a dynamic environment with the space to make rapid strides, to grow, and to take responsibility. You are part of a global company where the down-to-earth Twente culture has been preserved.

In addition, we offer:

• Competitive salary: with a range of €5,281 - €7,010 gross per month based on a full-time work week and depending on your previous work experience and educational background.

• Quarterly bonus: this is dependent on turnover and can amount to a maximum of 5% of your quarterly salary.

• Vacation: enjoy 40 days off per year (27 vacation days and 13 ATV days).

• Room for growth and development opportunities: for example, by participating in one of the many trainings of our Benchmark Academy, but also by following training courses that match your wishes and ours as an organization.

• Flexible working hours: as long as you ensure your work is completed, Benchmark offers the possibility to schedule your working hours in a flexible manner.

• Collaboration: through initiatives such as Lunch & Learn sessions, we learn from and with each other, and thanks to our Pitch Discovery Sessions, there is always room to work on your own projects and with new techniques.

You have a professional and structured working attitude, are ambitious and dare to take on challenges, think creatively with customers about innovative solutions, and take independent responsibility for your planning.

Furthermore, we find the following important:

• You have a robust and extensive background in C++ programming.

• Familiarity with Agentic or AI-supported programming.

• Familiarity with Qt and Python is a plus (but not required).

• Knowledge of electronics is a plus (but not essential).

• A completed BSc or MSc degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• Good command of the English language in all aspects.
