Fuel your passion As a Lead Engineer – Embedded Software Development, you will play a key role in our Services Subsea Embedded Software team, working across a diverse portfolio of current and legacy subsea products. You will lead the design, development, and maintenance of embedded software for our Subsea Electronics Modules (SEM), as well as the tools and applications used to communicate with, test, and operate these systems. Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will help ensure our subsea solutions are safe, reliable, and manufacturable—supporting critical offshore operations around the globe. For our team we are currently looking to hire two new Lead Engineers in Embedded Software Development. As a Lead Engineer – Embedded Software Development you will be responsible for: Driving embedded software design for Subsea Electronics Modules across QNX, bare metal, and Embedded Linux platforms. Delivering full software lifecycle including requirements analysis, architecture, coding, integration, and verification. Developing communication and control stacks using TCP/IP, CANopen, Modbus, Profibus, TC57, and serial interfaces such as RS232/RS485/RS422. Creating tools and support applications in C#, Java, Python, and web based IIoT technologies for configuration, diagnostics, and testing. Optimizing real time and multithreaded systems to ensure deterministic performance and high reliability in subsea environments. Applying software engineering best practices including object oriented design, code reviews, and Git based version control. Collaborating with cross functional engineering teams to align software with hardware architectures such as ARM Cortex M and Infineon C167. Supporting field operations and installed systems through troubleshooting, sustaining engineering, and continuous improvement activities. To be successful in this role you will: Hold a relevant technical degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or an equivalent field. Bring hands‑on embedded software experience with C/C++ in low‑level, resource‑constrained environments. Demonstrate strong C/C++ proficiency (≥ C++11) and experience with Embedded Linux and/or QNX; Tasking C++ is a plus. Understand microcontroller and processor architectures such as ARM Cortex M0+/M4 and Infineon C167. Have working knowledge of industrial communication protocols including TCP/IP, CANopen, Modbus, Profibus, TC57, and serial standards. Use modern development tools and practices including Git and structured, object‑oriented design techniques. Add value with complementary software skills such as C#/VB desktop development and basic web/IIoT technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, REST, MQTT, WebSockets). Communicate effectively in English and collaborate confidently across multidisciplinary teams.
