A leading technology company specializing in advanced semi-conductor manufacturing is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join its product development team. Operating in diverse industries such as renewable energy, microelectronics, life sciences, and research, the company designs and manufactures high-performance laser solutions with a strong focus on innovation and reliability.

The role involves developing and maintaining embedded software for laser systems, working with real-time operating systems, embedded computing modules, and automated testing frameworks. Responsibilities include writing clean C/C++ code, integrating software with hardware and optics, troubleshooting embedded systems, and mentoring junior engineers.
