About the Role
This 6-12 month contract position is designed for a Senior Software Engineer to develop embedded software for commercial elevator products. The role sits at the intersection of legacy control systems and new product development, requiring a candidate who can adapt quickly to a complex, existing environment while contributing to the full system software lifecycle—from concept and design to validation and production.
You will work within a collaborative team environment, open to guidance from senior members on designing and developing embedded controls. The day-to-day involves implementing software features and handling change requests in high-level C/C++ for elevator control boards and field tools. You will also be responsible for executing unit and integration tests in an engineering lab using hardware simulators, documenting test procedures and results, and managing configuration control and change management for software releases.
Beyond coding, this role demands a deep commitment to learning and flexibility. You will troubleshoot field issues, support existing software by enhancing features, and ensure alignment across the organization through strong communication. A core expectation is adherence to the client's Absolutes of Safety, Ethics, and Quality, ensuring that all software solutions meet rigorous industry standards.
Hiring Process
Interested candidates should submit their application with a focus on their embedded C/C++ experience and background in system interaction. The selection process prioritizes individuals who are highly motivated, forward-thinking, and capable of demonstrating great communication skills.
