Software Engineer (Embedded / Industrial Systems)

Software Engineer (Embedded / Industrial Systems)
At Movacolor, software is not an isolated discipline; it is at the core of how physical systems perform in the real world. We design and build high-precision dosing systems for the plastics industry, used globally in demanding industrial environments. The software you develop directly controls machines, materials, and processes, where reliability, accuracy, and performance truly matter. This is a role for engineers who want to build, understand, and improve real systems, not just abstract layers. It is based onsite in Sneek, where our systems are developed, tested, and improved hands‑on.
You will be part of a small, multidisciplinary R&D team where software, systems, mechanical engineering, and product support come together.

You will work in an environment where

Software interacts directly with hardware, sensors, and motion control
Systems must perform reliably under real-world industrial conditions
A proven platform is continuously improved while the next generation is being shaped
Engineering decisions have a direct and visible impact on products in the field

You will contribute to both
Strengthening and evolving an existing system
Building the foundation for future modular, distributed architectures

Qt framework (GUI and control logic)
Industrial control systems with real-time behavior
Monolithic architecture evolving toward modular, microcontroller-driven systems
Increasing adoption of AI to support development, testing, and system insight

Minimum of 3 years’ experience in embedded software development
A background in industrial automation, controls, or hardware-related environments (essential)
Strong experience with Linux-based embedded systems (essential)
Experience with C, C++ and Python (essential)
Confidence working in and improving existing and legacy systems (essential)
A hands-on mindset, curiosity, and a drive to continuously learn (essential)
Experience in working with C# and Qt
Experience in applying AI in software development (automation, scripting, AI agents)
Interest in architectural evolution and system design

Work on real industrial products used across the globe
See your work move from code to machines in operation
Combine deep technical work with tangible impact
Be part of a company where engineering drives innovation
Contribute to shaping the next generation of our software platform
A competitive salary in accordance with the Metalektro collective labour agreement (scale H to J), depending on experience)
An excellent pension scheme through the PME pension fund
27 vacation days and 13 scheduled days off based on full-time employment
Participation in the company’s results through a bonus
An annual investment in your professional and personal development
Discount on your health insurance
A tasty lunch together with your colleagues, at our expense
