Your Role and Responsibilities
For our Service center in Spain, we are looking for a flexible and highly motivated Control Software Engineer to strengthen our multi-disciplinary Engineering team. If you like working in a dynamic environment, developing traction application software for a wide range of vehicles and applications such as trams, locomotives, trains, maintenance vehicles, energy storage systems, mixing technical challenges and customer focus, this opportunity is for you!
In this role, you’ll help run what runs the world, by taking on meaningful work that drives real impact.

You will make good, but considerate use of your colleague’s contacts in case you need additional information to continue the troubleshooting.
- Using already prepared SW and documents you make necessary adaptations and extensions to address the customer needs, while respecting the defined standards and homologation requirements
- Testing and troubleshooting software in diverse environments and support our customers during commissioning and homologation on the vehicle. For these activities you are willing to travel to a high extent. Night shifts and weekend work are likely to be needed.
- Coordinating the technical solutions with your peers to maximize re-utilization of SW, minimizing the risk of bugs and accelerating standardization
Our teams support each other, collaborate, and never stop learning. Everyone brings something unique, and together we push ideas forward to solve real problems. Being part of our team means your work matters - because the progress we make here creates real impact out there.
Qualifications for the Role
