Senior Application Software & Hardware Engineer

Kurz zusammengefasst

Marmon Foodservice Technologies Europe GmbH, part of the global Marmon Holdings group backed by Berkshire Hathaway, designs and manufactures commercial food‑ and beverage‑equipment. The Senior Application Software & Hardware Engineer will lead the creation and integration of application software, embedded firmware and electrical hardware for both new and existing product lines, covering everything from requirements gathering through design, prototyping, validation, production release, support and end‑of‑life activities. On a daily basis the engineer will define system architecture and interface specifications for firmware, touchscreen applications, controllers and electrical subsystems, documenting design choices and trade‑offs. They will write, integrate and debug C/C++ firmware and application software for equipment controls, user interfaces and diagnostics, and will lead both internal and external design reviews with teams across Europe, the United States, China and Mexico. The role also involves translating product and customer needs into hardware and software requirements, creating PCB schematics and wiring harnesses, selecting critical components, and working with PCBA suppliers from concept through pilot and production to ensure compliance with MFT acceptance criteria. Additional duties include applying food‑service equipment standards, conducting DFMEA, building and testing hardware prototypes, coordinating reliability and performance testing, supporting the development of end‑of‑line test equipment, and managing engineering deliverables, changes, component obsolescence and product retirement. The position requires a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology or a closely related discipline, plus at least seven years of relevant experience. Candidates must have hands‑on experience delivering embedded products that combine application software and electrical hardware from prototype to production, and be proficient in C/C++ for microcontrollers, including firmware builds, flash programming and source‑level debugging. Experience with touchscreen interfaces, single‑board computers, PCB assemblies, sensors, power supplies, motors, modems and antennas is essential, as is the ability to diagnose faults across software, firmware and hardware. Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB layout tools such as OrCAD or Altium, and the ability to read schematics and wiring diagrams, are required. The role also demands working knowledge of microprocessors, digital and basic analogue circuits, power supplies and common hardware interfaces, as well as skill with oscilloscopes, logic analysers, spectrum analysers and digital multimeters. Strong documentation habits, schedule and release management, independent decision‑making, clear communication to technical and business audiences, direct customer interaction and occasional travel are also expected. Fluency in both English and German is mandatory. Preferred, but not required, experience includes work with refrigeration systems, beverage dispensers or related commercial food‑service equipment, familiarity with the Quantum Leaps (QP) state‑machine framework, embedded development on STM32, other ARM‑based platforms or PIC microcontrollers, and knowledge of Git version control and Jira issue tracking. The role offers the chance to influence technical direction, collaborate with a global team and contribute to products that have a tangible impact on the foodservice industry.
