Embedded Software Developer (Embedded Linux)

Make an impact where it matters

Do you want to help develop innovative products that truly make a difference in peoples lives? At Ambu, we design and deliver medical technologies that improve patient care and support healthcare professionals around the world.

If you have a background in electronics engineering or computer science and experience working with embedded systems, this could be an exciting next step in your career.

A local role with global impact

In this role, you can be based either at our Innovation Centre in Augsburg, Germany, or at our headquarters in Ballerup, Denmark. Regardless of your location, you will be part of one global Embedded Software team, collaborating closely with colleagues across sites.

At Ambu, we operate in a hybrid working model. While some flexibility for remote work is possible, this position is primarily office-based and requires regular on-site collaboration, with approximately three days per week in the office.

You will join a diverse team of developers and test engineers working on a modular embedded platform that connects closely with both hardware and application software. Our way of working is open, collaborative, and agile — we value knowledge sharing, curiosity, and a willingness to learn and grow together as a team.

Your role and responsibilities

As an Embedded Software Developer, you will contribute to the development of high-quality software solutions that meet our standards for performance, safety, and reliability. You will work with technologies such as Embedded Linux, Yocto, C, and C++, while collaborating closely with your colleagues to shape and improve our solutions.

Your tasks will include:

Developing and maintaining our custom Linux distribution, firmware, and drivers

Collaborating with the embedded team to ensure strong interfaces towards hardware and application software

Supporting documentation efforts to meet medical device and cybersecurity standards

What you bring

You likely hold a degree in electronics engineering, computer science, or a related field, and have solid experience in embedded software development. Just as importantly, you are curious, collaborative, and motivated to keep learning.

We expect that you have:

Around 5+ years of experience in embedded software development

Solid knowledge of Embedded Linux (experience with Yocto is a strong advantage)

Experience that will strengthen your profile

While not all of the below are required, experience in the following areas will be an advantage:

Board bring-up and development/maintenance of BSPs

Device Tree and Linux driver development

Software development for regulated environments, such as medical devices

Experience with microcontrollers (preferably ARM) and RTOS such as Zephyr

Programming in C, C++, Python, or shell scripting

Automated testing approaches (e.g. hardware-in-the-loop, unit testing, Pytest)

Additional requirements

Strong English communication skills, both written and spoken

Willingness to travel to Denmark or Germany up to approximately 20 days per year

Why join Ambu?

Ambu is an international MedTech company with strong growth ambitions and a clear purpose: improving patient care. You will join a collaborative environment where your contributions matter and where there is a
