Embedded Software Developer

Are you an engineer who enjoys developing embedded software and working hands-on with tools like C/C++, Linux, and modern CI/CD and AI-supported development environments? Do you thrive in solving complex technical challenges and collaborating with skilled colleagues to build robust energy control solutions?
If so, this role at DEIF A/S could be your next step!

About the job

As an Embedded Software Developer at DEIF, you’ll help shape tomorrow’s energy solutions. Our products control and switch between various energy sources – including solar, wind, diesel, and batteries – for more efficient and reliable power production. Most R&D, manufacturing, and testing takes place at our headquarters in Skive, giving us a unique setup that fosters close collaboration and rapid innovation.

You’ll join a team of 20 skilled colleagues developing embedded application software for our Linux-based multi-core controller platform. You’ll be responsible for developing the software that determines how our products respond to real-world conditions – like when batteries charge or discharge, how generators operate, and how new features such as DC systems are added to our platform.

“DEIF offers an open platform that allows customers to develop and run their own applications on our robust controllers. As a Software Developer, you will be part of the full development process – from idea to system integration”, explains Department Manager, Simon Appelt.

As part of our development environment, you’ll also work with modern engineering practices and AI-supported tools such as GitHub Copilot to support implementation, refactoring, unit test creation, and documentation. We see AI as a practical assistant that helps teams work more efficiently while maintaining high engineering standards, review quality, and secure development practices.

Working tasks and responsibilities

• Develop embedded application software in C++ for DEIF’s Linux-based controller platform
• Write unit tests in C++ and contribute to automated validation using CI/CD frameworks.
• Use modern AI-assisted development tools, including GitHub Copilot, to support implementation, refactoring, test creation, and documentation.
• Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to ensure smooth system integration.
• Participate in Agile development processes and contribute to continuous improvement of our software platform

The Software Team works in Agile sprints of 2 weeks, allowing for frequent feature delivery and continuous feedback. You’ll collaborate closely with your team, product specialists, and other stakeholders, ensuring high-quality solutions while learning from colleagues with diverse skills and backgrounds.

Work location: DEIF’s headquarters is in Skive. However, to attract the right candidate, we are open to offering the option to work from our satellite offices in Aalborg, Silkeborg, or Odense.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a passionate engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges. You thrive in a collaborative environment where progress is driven by shared ideas, diverse skills, and teamwork. Additionally, you:

• Have experience with embedded software development in C/C++ (from studies or early career)
• Have familiarity with ANSI C, version control systems (VCS), object-oriented programming, or CI/CD tools (considered an advantage)
• Are interested in AI-supported development (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to enhance productivity and code quality
• Are able to use AI tools responsibly while adhering to coding standards, review processes, and security practices
