Embedded Software Architect

At VDL Sintecs, you do not work on a small part of a product, but on the big picture. From hardware and FPGAs to embedded software and complete systems: everything comes together here. You will have a lot of influence on technical choices and work with colleagues who are just as enthusiastic about technology as you are.

This is a role for someone who likes to make a substantive difference. Not in an organization with many management layers, but in an environment where expertise counts, ideas are taken seriously, and complex technical challenges are the norm. You will work together with experienced engineers and architects on products that are actually applied in practice. In addition, you can count on:

• Employment of 32 to 40 hours per week
• A salary between € 6,000 and € 7,600 gross per month
• A lot of influence on technical choices, architecture, and innovation
• Collaborating with experienced engineers, FPGA specialists, and software architects
• An international working environment with teams in Hengelo and Vilnius
• Plenty of room for your own initiative and technical deepening
• An open, informal, and professional working atmosphere
• Good employment conditions within the VDL Group

As an Embedded Software Architect, you are one of the technical pioneers within the software team. You design software architectures, guide development teams, and ensure that projects move in the correct technical direction. You are not someone who merely creates designs and then sits back. You think along, guide teams, and help with implementation where necessary. Specifically, you will be involved in:

• Designing software architectures for embedded systems
• Technically leading embedded software projects
• Guiding development teams during design, implementation, and validation
• Creating estimates, specifications, and work breakdowns for projects
• Supporting sales with technical issues and quotations
• Coordinating with customers regarding architecture choices and new functionalities
• Monitoring the quality, reliability, and maintainability of software
• Driving innovation within the engineering team

Colleagues come to you for technical coordination, architecture choices, and advice. You ensure cohesion between hardware, software, and system design.

You get energy from technical problems for which there is no immediate answer. New technologies make you curious, and you enjoy taking colleagues along in your way of thinking.

You feel at home in an environment where innovation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing are central. Do you also have experience with embedded Linux, FPGAs, networking, or safety & security issues? Then you can make an impact quickly in this role. But most importantly, you have the technical depth and curiosity to understand complex systems. You also bring:
