Peratech is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer

The Embedded Software Engineer will be working with our customer-facing engineering team, other internal engineering teams and partners to define requirements from customer inputs, architect, develop, and implement interfaces to our force/pressure sensors, produce data calibration and linearization algorithms and communicate data to other systems. The engineer will use his/her technical background to devise innovative solutions for these requirements and will have the opportunity to work with a variety of microcontroller architectures, though our primary targets are ARM Cortex core based. The Peratech Product and Solutions Group has established a centre of excellence for software and hardware engineering in Stockholm and the postholder will be an extended part of that. Additionally, the engineer will be part of a global solutions team, with colleagues and internal and external customers all over the world. Therefore, this job could include around 30 travel days a year internationally, especially to the UK and Asia.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Under the direction of our Director of Software, works with technical sales team and other engineers to define product specifications from functional requirements and determine firmware integration needs
