We are looking to enhance our R&D team with a Medior Embedded Software Engineer who will work at the intersection of software and physics. At VPInstruments, we develop intelligent measurement systems aimed at reducing energy waste across various industries. Your code will operate on actual instruments that measure flow, pressure, temperature, and power in factories globally. If you take pleasure in writing firmware that accurately reflects physical principles, debugging signals with an oscilloscope, and witnessing your algorithms yield precise measurements on tangible hardware, this role is for you.

About the Company

VPInstruments is dedicated to making the world more sustainable by eliminating industrial energy waste. We achieve this by designing, producing, and supplying instrumentation and monitoring software for compressed air and technical gases. Our products are utilized in industrial production facilities, including glass manufacturing, food and beverage, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors worldwide. Innovation is at our core, and our R&D department continuously enhances our products and designs cutting-edge instruments that we manufacture in-house.

The Role

As a Medior Software Engineer, you will dedicate approximately 70% of your time to embedded firmware development, with the remaining time focused on lightweight desktop tools and scripts.

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware (C/C++) for our measurement instruments, encompassing signal processing, calibration algorithms, and sensor integration via I²C, SPI, RS485, and Modbus.
• Translate physical measurement principles into reliable, accurate code while working with actual sensors and lab equipment.
• Collaborate with the R&D team to validate measurements, diagnose issues, and enhance instrument performance and accuracy.
• Create small Qt/QML desktop tools and Python scripts to facilitate configuration, diagnostics, and production workflows.

Requirements

• A degree in Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Several years of hands-on experience in embedded C/C++ development.
• A strong understanding of physics, particularly in flow, pressure, temperature, and energy, and familiarity with the physical systems behind sensor signals.
• Experience with microcontrollers and common embedded tools (git, CMake, unit testing).
• Good communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus).
• Availability for 32–40 hours per week, residing within approximately 30 km of Delft, Netherlands.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Qt/QML, RTOS, industrial instrumentation, flow measurement, or data analysis in Python/MATLAB. However, if you possess strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn, we encourage you to apply.

What We Offer

• Join a friendly, close-knit company with a young and ambitious team of around 18 people.
• Opportunities for personal development and growth.
• A balanced working arrangement of 60% in-office and 40% remote work.
• Regular team lunches and outings.
• Competitive salary, 24 holidays + 4 ADV days, with options to purchase additional holidays.
• Full reimbursement of travel expenses, a solid pension plan, contributions towards sports activities, and a company-wide profit-sharing scheme.
• A positive, flexible, and growth-oriented work environment where you can thrive.
