Firmware Engineer

At Nedap Security, we develop intelligent and secure solutions for access control and security. Our systems are used worldwide to enable people, vehicles and organisations to move safely and efficiently, both inside and around buildings and in critical environments.

As a Firmware Engineer, you will work at the heart of our products: the embedded software that brings our hardware to life. You will translate functional requirements into robust technical designs and develop smart firmware that is reliable, secure and future-proof.

You will work on both new product developments and the improvement and expansion of existing solutions, such as RFID readers, controllers and connected devices. In doing so, you will engage with topics such as real-time behaviour, connectivity and embedded security.

In addition to microcontroller-based firmware, you will also work with embedded Linux platforms to deliver scalable and connected solutions. As our products are used worldwide, remote management, maintainability and security are key aspects of your role.

What are you going to do?

Design

You translate functional requirements into clear technical designs for firmware and embedded software.

Development

You build and test firmware for RFID readers, controllers and connected devices.

Improvement

You work on existing products to make them more reliable, secure and maintainable.

Integration

You collaborate with colleagues in hardware, mechanical, and software engineering to ensure solutions work effectively within the complete product.

Security

You contribute ideas on embedded security, remote management, and secure communication between devices and systems.

Your team

As a Firmware Engineer, you will be part of the R&D Devices team at Nedap Security. This multidisciplinary team comprises firmware, hardware and mechanical engineers who work closely together. You will have the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues whilst taking on independent responsibility for projects.

What's in it for you?

In addition to your salary, you are entitled to a thirteenth month, a good pension scheme, and profit sharing with the opportunity to become a shareholder of Nedap.

At Nedap, everything revolves around trust and autonomy. That’s why, along with your colleagues, you decide on your own working hours and vacation days to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

We also highly value personal and professional growth. You will receive a comprehensive introduction, and we encourage you to continuously develop yourself.

Required skills

You are enthusiastic, energetic and curious. Technology energises you, and you enjoy building, experimenting and understanding how things really work. Ideally, you’d like to turn your hobby into your job. You take the initiative, contribute ideas and ask questions. You don’t need to know everything yet, but you do have the drive to learn quickly and develop into a strong firmware engineer.

You also recognise yourself in the following:

• You have a higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO) background in embedded software, embedded systems, electrical engineering, computer engineering or a similar field.
• You have 0–3 years’ experience in embedded development, for example through work, an internship, your final-year project or personal projects.
• You have experience with or an interest in C, real-time systems, electronics, datasheets, embedded Linux, and security.
• You are fluent in Dutch and English.

Good to know:

Hybrid (partly remote) working is common at Nedap. In consultation with your colleagues, you will arrange your working hours to ensure a good work-life balance. We would like to see you on our campus in Groenlo at least three days a week.
