Embedded Software Engineer

Do you want to be part of a world-leading company and help develop the embedded platform controlling the world’s largest two-stroke engines? Are you motivated by the green transition and interested in making a real impact with your skills? This could be the opportunity for you.

At Everllence, we transform cutting-edge technology into solutions that help decarbonize global trade. As the world’s leading provider of energy-efficient and fuel-flexible large marine engines, we are driving the transition toward greener shipping.

You will join the embedded software team in the Automation department in Copenhagen. The team develops firmware and middleware that connects the two-stroke control application with the control system hardware.

The engine control system is a highly distributed embedded platform, where multiple controllers communicate over dual-redundant Ethernet networks using PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) to ensure deterministic, zero-loss failover. Each controller is built on proprietary hardware, featuring an AMD UltraScale processor running an open-source RTOS to execute control algorithms and interface with sensors, actuators, and user interfaces.

You will play an important role in:

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop, extend, and maintain firmware and middleware across key platform components running on multiple processors, including ARM Cortex-R5. This includes updates and improvements to the open-source RTOS, new hardware interfaces, and other core platform services.

This platform provides the foundation for application teams to develop efficient control algorithms, support multiple fuel types, and implement advanced emission reduction technologies.

Your primary responsibility will be designing and developing embedded software that connects application layers with hardware. You will:

• Contribute to feature development across the full lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through implementation and maintenance
• Build interfaces to actuators and sensors communicating over various protocols
• Design and implement automated tests to ensure robustness and quality
• Analyse, troubleshoot, and improve existing solutions
• Improve internal tools, ways of working, and CI/CD pipelines
