Embedded Software Developer

Contribute to the development of future connectivity solutions for hearing technologies

 

Join us and work with modern embedded platforms that help connect hearing instruments to the digital world. Reliable, efficient, and intelligent software is key to enabling people with hearing loss to participate fully in everyday life — whether streaming audio, connecting to external devices, or interacting with surrounding systems.

We are looking for an embedded software developer to join our team near Copenhagen and help build robust, high-quality solutions across our embedded platform.

 

Join our team

In our team, you will work on embedded software that forms the foundation of connectivity features in our hearing instruments. The work spans across low-level drivers, protocol stacks, and system-level integration, including BLE for communication with mobile devices and external accessories.

Most of our codebase is written in C, and we actively use and contribute to the open-source platform Zephyr. You will be part of a team combining experienced engineers and early-career developers, with a clear emphasis on collaboration and knowledge sharing.

You will collaborate closely with hardware engineers, other embedded teams, and application developers to ensure seamless end-to-end functionality. Together, we are responsible for delivering a complete, high-performance embedded solution in a complex and rewarding technical domain.

Ready to use your skills?

We welcome both experienced engineers and less experienced candidates with a solid foundation in embedded development. Experience in relevant domains is necessary, but curiosity, willingness to learn, and good collaboration skills are also important.

You will be working in a large-scale development setup involving multiple teams, giving you exposure to system-level design and modern development practices.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded software components across the system stack
• Design, implement, and optimize low-level and system-level functionality in C
• Participate in peer reviewing of code
• Build and maintain unit tests and automated test pipelines
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate and validate system features
• Debug and resolve issues in complex embedded environments
• Optimize software for performance, reliability, and power efficiency
• Work with internal and external stakeholders on interfaces and integrations
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes and tools

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar
• Solid experience in C programming for embedded systems
• Experience with microcontrollers and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
• Experience with communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, SPI, I2C, UART) is a plus
• Understanding of embedded system architecture and debugging
• Solid problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work in a collaborative and multidisciplinary team environment
