More Than a Job: A Mission

We are looking for a passionate Software Designer to craft and implement advanced digital solutions that power the next generation of sustainable mobility. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design reliable, scalable, and safe software systems that move cities and people forward.

  • Implement robust coding standards and validation processes to guarantee reliability and compliance with EN 50128 safety standards.
  • Drive innovation by introducing model-based design techniques and continuous integration practices using tools like MATLAB/Simulink and Jenkins.
  • Contribute to knowledge sharing by mentoring peers and documenting best practices for future projects.
You'll work with sharp, committed teams solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility, ensuring seamless integration of business and technology.
 

What You Bring

  • Proficiency in C/C++ and real-time operating systems for embedded applications.
  • Experience with model-based design tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or SCADE Suite.
  • Understanding of communication protocols like CAN, Ethernet, or MVB.
  • Ability to apply software lifecycle management using Git, Jira, and continuous integration pipelines.
  • Strong analytical mindset with a focus on safety-critical and high-availability systems.

 

How Success Is Measured

  • On-time delivery of validated software modules aligned with project milestones.
  • Effective collaboration and contribution to cross-functional team objectives.

  • Contribute to projects with tangible local and international impact.
  • Grow your career through continuous learning, mentorship, and global mobility opportunities.

 

Here, progress isn't always easy but the impact is real. Because the scale is massive, the tasks are complex when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
