Embedded Software Engineer
Develop embedded software and firmware for connected products — from smaller development tasks to larger international projects — together with our hardware, cloud and mechanics engineers.
A Swedish technology group.
Updal is a Swedish technology group built by experienced engineers and entrepreneurs with a passion for turning ideas into successful products.
We work across IoT, embedded systems and connected technology — helping customers take products from concept and development through certification, production and market launch. Our team covers hardware, firmware, software, mechanics and cloud solutions, either supporting customer teams or taking full responsibility for complete projects. But Updal is more than an engineering consultancy. We develop our own IoT products, invest in technology companies, and build new businesses and partnerships where our engineering experience and commercial mindset can make a difference.
We are a growing, entrepreneurial team where decisions are made quickly, ideas are encouraged, and people have the freedom and responsibility to make things happen.
Plenty of technology, plenty of variety.
At Updal Solutions, you'll work with embedded software and firmware in a wide range of customer projects — from smaller development tasks to larger international projects. In short: plenty of technology, plenty of variety, and hopefully not too many mysterious bugs on Friday afternoons. You'll develop software and firmware for embedded systems and work closely with our hardware engineers. You'll also help us build and improve our software platforms. If you understand hardware as well, even better — we like engineers who aren't afraid of what's happening on the other side of the PCB.
We think you have a few years of experience with embedded systems, connectivity, or products within consumer or industrial electronics. More importantly, you enjoy solving problems, learning new things and working together with both customers and colleagues. At Updal, we develop real products for the real world. We like smart solutions, short decision paths and people who take initiative.

What we're looking for.
- 01
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering or a similar field.
- 02
At least 3 years of experience working with embedded systems.

Hands-on experience with Zephyr RTOS.
- 07
Strong programming skills in C, C++ and Python.

- 10
You're not afraid of hardware and know your way around an oscilloscope, power supply and other lab equipment.
- 11
Experience with IoT protocols such as MQTT and CoAP.
- 12
And perhaps most importantly: you enjoy figuring out why something that should definitely work… doesn't.
Who thrives here.
- 01
Proactive — you see what needs to be done and get moving.
- 02
A quick learner who enjoys new technologies and challenges.
- 03
A team player who likes sharing ideas and solving problems together.
- 04
You have an eye for detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
