Help Us Shape the Next Generation of Control Systems

At Proserv, we’re not just improving existing technology — we’re engineering what comes next. Our Trondheim R&D team is on a mission to design the next generation of industrial control systems, built on modern software architectures, embedded Linux platforms, and scalable, secure solutions that meet tomorrow’s energy demands. If you’re excited about working at the intersection of hardware, software, and innovation — this is your chance to shape systems that will drive critical infrastructure for decades to come.

What You Need to Know

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Proserv, you will develop robust, secure, and high-performance embedded software for ARM-based Linux platforms. You will work across the full software lifecycle – from design and prototyping to production-ready solutions – collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams in electronics, mechanics, and systems design. This is a high-impact role where you will shape the architecture, design principles, and technologies used in our future platforms.

What We Are Looking For

At our R&D hub in Trondheim, we are pioneering the development of advanced control systems – and we’re looking for a passionate embedded software engineer to help us take our technology to the next level.

Some of the Key Accountabilities:
