Embedded Software Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 27, 2026.
Would you like to be part of a global, technically skilled team that is essential to Verisure’s success?
Are you passionate about technology and eager to make a real impact? Do you dream of working in a dynamic environment where your skills can grow and flourish? If so, we have a really nice opportunity for you at our office in Madrid or Malmö.
About the job
We develop and maintain the Central Unit (CU), the very heart of Verisure’s monitored smart alarm system. This Linux-based embedded system orchestrates and secures all communication between devices in our customers’ homes and businesses, and our backend services. Within the CU organization, our team is responsible for Wi-Fi functionality across a large, real-world IoT fleet, ensuring stable connectivity, good performance, and predictable behavior in customer environments.
In this role, you will contribute as an Embedded Software Engineer focused on Linux-based platforms at system level. You will work across connectivity (Wi-Fi, modem), security, data persistence, middleware libraries, hardware abstraction layers, and system communication frameworks such as D-Bus and DDS. You will solve complex reliability, performance, integration, and maintainability challenges across both next-generation CU bring-up and continuous improvement of products already deployed in the field.
What you’ll be up to:
- Develop and maintain embedded Linux solutions across Wi-Fi, modem, and broader system connectivity stacks
- Design, integrate, and improve middleware libraries and HAL components for scalable, reusable platform services
- Implement and harden system security capabilities (access control, secure communication, and production-grade robustness)
- Build and maintain persistence mechanisms for configuration, state, and operational data across reboots and updates
- Work with Linux IPC and service frameworks, including D-Bus and DDS, for reliable inter-process and inter-module communication
- Integrate and optimize core system services such as time synchronization, power management, and platform lifecycle behavior
- Debug and resolve complex field issues using logs, telemetry, crash dumps, and data-driven root-cause analysis
- Collaborate with hardware teams, operations, product teams, and external vendors to deliver reliable end-to-end system behavior
You will join an experienced, cross-site team, Madrid and Malmö-based, working in an agile setup with daily collaboration across locations. The team values technical depth, shared ownership, open discussion, and pragmatic problem-solving. You will work closely with senior engineers, gradually taking over ownership of complex connectivity areas while contributing as a reliable team player from day one.
About you
We believe you are a curious embedded engineer who thrives in complex environments where reliability and security are critical. You enjoy working hands-on with the latest technologies in embedded Linux and connectivity.
You excel in solving complex technical challenges and have a keen eye for quality and efficiency. You’re communicative, collaborative, and eager to contribute to a team where knowledge sharing and innovation matter.
Requirements
- Experience in embedded Linux development (Yocto-based)
- Experience with system-level debugging and troubleshooting
- Skilled in C/C++ programming in Linux environments
- Scripting and tooling for development and debugging
- Proficient in English, with strong technical communication skills
Nice to have
- Experience with Wi-Fi, GSM, HAL, middleware on Linux
- Kernel or driver-level development
- Networking (routing, firewalling, connectivity)
- Vendor collaboration (e.g. chipset vendors)
- IoT or large-scale deployed systems
If you don’t meet all the above checkpoints, don’t worry. If you believe that you’re the right person for us, we might just believe that as well. Get in touch and let´s discuss more! Apply today!
