Junior Embedded Software Engineer (m/w/d)

Junior Embedded Engineer – Software & Firmware Development (m/f/d)

At Dentsply Sirona, we develop world-leading solutions for dental and oral health. To strengthen our interdisciplinary development team, we are looking for a motivated Junior Embedded Engineer (m/f/d) with an interest in embedded software and/or firmware development.
Whether your strengths lie in application-level development on Embedded Linux or in low-level firmware and control systems, we offer you the opportunity to grow your skills in a hands-on, innovative environment focused on modern medical devices and cloud-connected technologies.

Your Responsibilities

Depending on your focus (software or firmware), you will work on tasks such as:

Application-Level Embedded Software Development:

• Develop workflows and algorithms in C++ for our embedded Linux systems

• Implement and integrate cloud-connected features (DS Core)

• Write and extend module/component tests

• Participate in team meetings, code reviews, and continuous improvement of development processes

• Document concepts and implementations according to internal standards

Firmware & Control Systems Development:

• Design and optimize control systems for medical devices (e.g., drives, sensors, instrument control)

• Select and implement appropriate control strategies in coordination with hardware and software teams

• Use model-based development (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink) for simulation and validation

• Collaborate with hardware, software, and QA teams

• Document control concepts and firmware implementations

Your Profile

• Degree (Bachelor, Master, PhD) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering, Automation Technology, or a related field

• Some experience in embedded systems development — either in C++ for Linux-based applications or low-level firmware with a focus on control systems

• Ideally, you bring knowledge in one or more of the following areas:
  • Embedded C++ / Embedded Linux
  • Digital control systems and model-based design (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink)
  • Sensor and actuator integration, drive control

• Strong interest in embedded systems and real-world physical processes

• Team player with a structured and curious approach to learning

• Good communication skills in English and German (written and spoken)

What We Offer

• A supportive, agile development team

• Opportunities to grow in both application-level and low-level embedded development

• A technologically exciting environment with modern tools and processes

• Cross-functional collaboration – from hardware to cloud integration
