Make an impact where it matters Do you want to help develop innovative products that truly make a difference in people’s 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 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 strong focus on both professional and personal development.
