Projects range from partial developments and proof-of-concept setups to complete machines and end-to-end system solutions for customers across different industries. Many of our projects are at the intersection of machine control, machine vision, data science, and artificial intelligence.\n\nWhat are you going to do?\n\nAs a senior software engineer, you are the technical lead within the software domain. Together with systems engineers, you define the software architecture, component selection, and technical standards for our machine control systems. You translate customer specifications into robust, maintainable, and scalable software solutions.\n\nTo achieve this, you make use of BRIX, our standardized machine control platform based on TwinCAT 3 (Structured Text) and Beckhoff hardware. You work within a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with colleagues from various engineering disciplines. You bring structure to software solutions, safeguard software quality, and provide technical guidance to other Software Engineers when needed. In addition, you are involved in testing, integration, and commissioning of machine control systems.\n\nYou act as a coach and sparring partner for both fellow engineers and customers. Drawing on your experience, you help substantiate technical decisions, identify risks at an early stage, and elevate projects to a higher level of quality and performance.\n\nWhat do you bring to the table?\n\n Completed HBO or WO degree in a software-related technical discipline;\n\n At least 10 years of experience in a similar role within industrial automation, machine building, or mechatronic systems;\n\n Extensive experience with object-oriented software development and designing structured software architectures;\n\n Experience with various industrial control systems in a machine-building environment;\n\n Experience with TwinCAT 3 and Beckhoff is preferred;\n\n Relevant knowledge of C#/.NET programming is considered an advantage;\n\n Relevant knowledge of machine safety, motion control, drives, and/or robotic control systems is considered an advantage.\n\nWhat do we offer you?\n\nAt Demcon, you will work on technically challenging projects where your experience has a direct impact on the quality of our solutions. You will have the opportunity to influence software-related decisions, provide technical coaching to colleagues, and contribute to the further development of our standard platforms, including BRIX.\n\nIn addition, we value a positive work environment, personal attention, and a healthy work-life balance. We consciously discourage excessive overtime because we understand the importance of life outside of work.\n\nYou can also expect:\n\n A competitive salary in line with the market;\n\n 31 days of annual leave and 8% holiday allowance;\n\n An attractive pension scheme with Zwitserleven;\n\n Opportunities to follow training courses and development programs through the Demcon Academy, enabling you to further expand your knowledge and skills;\n\n A company laptop and mobile phone;\n\n A bicycle scheme;\n\n An active staff association offering monthly social events and an annual Demcon weekend, as well as yearly sporting events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3452,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Industrial Automation","Biomedical Engineering","Precision Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T12:17:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["seen:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/demcon-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/demcon-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T22:39:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31992,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54549},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54549"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdemcon-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdemcon-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdemcon-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/demcon-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdemcon-senior-software-engineer"}]}
