As a global market leader, KraftPowercon offers solutions, products, and services—and drives innovation—within industrial power supply. Thanks to growing demand from new and existing customers, we need to expand our team. This is where you come in. We are currently looking for a Senior Product Developer.

The profile we are looking for has broad experience and can develop both software and hardware. The background includes years of work in R&D developing products made of both software and hardware, at the level of the specific disciplines as well as at the level of the general product architecture, understanding the tight correlation between the different parts. 

As SW developer, very good capability about development of applications written in C language (embedded systems), preferably on STM32 devices and with related development tools. Good capability about Python is required to create test setups. Important to have experience about DevOps and SW development methodologies typical of environments where more Developers collaborate with systematic reviews. Good understanding of communication protocols typical of industrial applications such as CANopen, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, is necessary. Competence about RTOS is very desirable.

Regarding HW, our Candidate understands schematics of digital and analog circuits at a detailed level and can design by means of dedicated tools (e.g. Altium) the basics of solutions like a system microcontroller with multiple I/Os and communication interfaces, including the physical layers of communication buses mentioned above. Some understanding about EMC/EMI is important to be able to work with products processing power in the order of 10 - 1000 kW as those being developed and maintained at KraftPowercon. It is necessary to have solid experience about use of measurement tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, frequency response / vector network analyzers.

The selected Candidate will be confronted with tasks in equal measure related to debugging/maintenance/improvements of existing products and development of new solutions. The role implies not only hands-on activity but also taking full technical ownership or a product, prioritizing the required improvement actions and achieving deep knowledge of the Product in order to direct the work of others, manage the discussions with stakeholders (Product Planning, Purchase, Manufacturing), provide recommendations for supporting functions like After Sales & Service. This includes work at the desk as well as in the lab, not the least capability to communicate with people with different background. Proper documentation, although an occupation demanding a fraction of the overall time of engagement, is an integral part of the work.

Please note that the capabilities we look for shall be proven by traceable hands-on experience - academic qualification or school projects are not enough.

Our organization promotes individuals undertaking responsibility and operating in autonomy. Although the work is always executed under supervision by a Team Leader / Project Manager, ample room for initiative and freedom is given. Remote work allowed as applicable.

The environment is characterized by openness, multiculturality, friendliness.
