As a knowledge company, it is important for us that our specialists share their expertise and help colleagues grow.

Role Description:

Assignment Description

Husqvarna Wheeled is expanding and we are now recruiting a Senior Software Specialist with experience in PMSM/BLDC motor controller development for large ride-on lawnmower platforms or off-road vehicle platforms. We want you to take part in our electrification journey for ride-on products with the aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, increasing circular use, and making customers happy. In Husqvarna language, we call it Sustainovate.

Wheeled develops medium and large advanced ride-on lawnmowers that contain hybrid solutions, full electric and petrol/diesel solutions for professional ride-on and residential ride-on products. Wheeled will develop a completely new electric platform that will take our professional ride-on products into the 2030s. A fully electric, all-day-long working product for demanding tasks, both autonomous, remote-controlled, and manually operated.

Tasks

We are now looking for an additional team member who wants to join our journey with advanced platform development. You will have a key role and the opportunity to work in a hands-on department where we decide how we want to develop our products and functionality. The system will include wireless connected, remote-controlled, autonomous functions, and much more. The main focus is all electric machines. You will be involved in the product development from start-up to mass production. You will focus on embedded software. The motor controller software uses a lightweight operating system without any file system support running on a CPU. All embedded software is written in C, with the addition of a few assembler routines meaning extensive experience writing code in C is a requirement for the software role.

The Wheeled department has over 50 employees who work with product development, both electric and mechanical. You will be part of a team with 16 colleagues where you will have the opportunity to get an overview and follow entire processes with short decision paths.

Required skills

Prior experience of developing this type of embedded code is a requirement for this software-focused role. A university education is expected, but long experience and interest in this type of development can replace this requirement, as long as basic math knowledge is present.

Abstract and analytical thinking is needed as well as being somewhat organized during the development. At the same time, rapid prototyping is needed when bugs/faults are discovered late in the projects.

The deliveries will be kind of fixed in both time and contents, the testing period for our products is during the summer and products are released to production during the winter, so the agile principle of just delivering what is available is not really applicable. This role is both theoretical and analytical as well as being practical. Both the ability to perform measurements on electronics and troubleshoot problems discovered during the product tests are needed, this usually includes driving the product while performing measurements and motor measurements in the dyno rig.

Being curious about products and learning how they work is a merit for these positions as this will provide an understanding of the implicit requirements on the motor controllers. Standard tools and software are not always available for troubleshooting, so the ability to develop PC software, preferably in C#, is a merit.

There are product safety aspects/requirements involved in this role, both from relevant standards as well as Husqvarna internal requirements, that have to be balanced against the product functionality. The safety aspects force the development to be requirement-driven with architecture documentation and corresponding tests on many levels. The ability to write documents in English is somewhere between a merit and a requirement for this position. You should be able to communicate without problems in English and preferably Swedish.

Location: Huskvarna, with the possibility of a hybrid setup where at least 60% is spent at the office.

Application Do you think you are Techster Solutions’s next star? Then do not hesitate to submit your application now. Selection is ongoing and start date is by agreement.

Workplace and Culture

We are an entrepreneur-driven IT company, with both product knowledge and sales (Techster AB) and consulting services (Techster Solutions AB). This means that we are very open to new technical solutions, knowledge exchange, and continuous learning. Having fun while maintaining a family spirit without hierarchies is equally important.

We want to create the consulting company you have always wanted to work for, but perhaps haven’t found yet. Already today we have a mix of senior and younger employees, as well as men and women. We want to continue to build on that. So welcome with your application!
