Job details:
Are you passionate about developing embedded software for the most innovative pumps and drives in the world, pushing the boundaries of VFD technology and platform development? Then join our mission to pioneer smarter water solutions that reduce energy use and improve lives.
As our new Lead Software Development Engineer, you'll be developing and enhancing embedded software features for Grundfos pumps and drives, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to advance our common software platform that powers the world's best products. You'll be part of a diverse, supportive and inclusive culture, that celebrates our differences and puts people first by fostering growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging.
What You Will Be Doing
As a key part of the Embedded Software Development team, you'll create impact by driving innovation in advanced controller products through cutting-edge embedded software, robust test architecture, and continuous integration practices that elevate our entire product portfolio.
Your main responsibilities include:
- Develop VFD-based applications and integrate them with PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, and IoT platforms in collaboration with system architects and automation engineers
- Contribute to software and test architecture enhancements, governance processes, and best practices across the development lifecycle
- Design and execute unit tests, end-to-end system tests, and reusable test scripts while driving test automation aligned with our CI framework
- Improve software quality through proactive bug fixing, validation, and troubleshooting in lab environments
- Mentor and guide colleagues, sharing technical and agile expertise to continuously elevate team capability and product innovation
- Support configuration management, test bed operations, and field issue resolution across the full value chain
What Makes You a Great Fit
Above all, you're a hands-on embedded software engineer with deep VFD application expertise, strong C programming skills, and a collaborative mindset for driving architectural excellence and continuous improvement. We'd also imagine that you are/have:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering with 15+ years of embedded software development experience
- Strong expertise in C programming, microcontroller architectures, and RTOS (FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar) and hands-on VFD application engineering experience with manufacturers such as Siemens, ABB, Danfoss, Schneider, or Rockwell
- Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET) and debugging tools (JTAG, oscilloscope, logic analyzer)
It's a plus if you also:
- Experience with energy efficiency projects or predictive maintenance using VFD data
- Exposure to digital twin or simulation tools for motor-drive applications
- Knowledge of scripting or automation tools for VFD configuration and diagnostics
Why you'll love working here
Day to day, you can look forward to:
- A working environment built around your needs, with flexible hours, home working opportunities and parental support. Annual bonuses, health insurance and a strong focus on well-being activities.
- Three days' additional paid leave for volunteering.
- On-demand training and structured development programmes to support your growth. Valuing our differences helps us see possibilities where others can't. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from all abilities, experiences, and backgrounds.
