Junior - Intermediate Software Engineer - Graduates Welcome

SUMMARY:
An established, internationally connected R&D team based in Stellenbosch is seeking a Software Engineer to contribute to the development of innovative consumer radar products used globally.

POSITION INFO:

This team designs and delivers high-quality, mass-produced radar solutions across multiple industries — taking products from concept through to international market launch. Their mission is to bring radar technology to life by combining advanced engineering with practical, real-world application.

If you are excited about embedded systems, signal processing, and building reliable products that customers use every day, this opportunity offers exposure to cutting-edge radar development within a collaborative and energetic team environment.

The Role

As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to software and algorithm development for new radar products and applications.

You will:

• Join a local radar software team that forms part of an international, multidisciplinary product team
• Develop and fine-tune algorithms in a MATLAB environment
• Implement algorithms in embedded C and C++
• Develop embedded software that runs smoothly and reliably in C and C++
• Contribute to software requirements, architecture, and detailed design
• Apply structured problem-solving techniques to identify root causes and deliver reliable solutions
• Participate in peer reviews of software designs, algorithms, and source code to maintain high engineering standards

You may also:

• Participate in software release testing and hardware/software integration testing
• Contribute to PC-based tools development using C# and Python
• Explore emerging technologies
• Travel to international offices (USA, Canada, Taiwan) for collaboration

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering or a related field
• Junior (0–1 years) or Intermediate (2–4 years) experience in radar systems, embedded software, or signal processing

Essential Skills:

• Demonstrated ability to solve programming problems with high-quality, maintainable code
• Proficiency in embedded C and/or C++
• Eagerness to learn and ability to self-start
• Strong collaboration and communication skills within local and international teams
• Ability to work independently under general guidance

Highly Advantageous Experience:

• Signal processing and algorithm development for CW and FMCW radar systems
• MATLAB programming, data visualisation, and analysis
• Electronic or embedded hardware design
• Electronic testing using signal generators, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analysers
• Communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN, including debugging with logic analysers
• ARM microcontrollers (e.g., ST, Nordic, Texas Instruments, NXP)
• C# or Python development
• Version control tools (e.g., Git)
• Agile (Scrum) methodologies
• Unit testing and Test-Driven Development using frameworks such as Google Test (gtest)

How to Apply

Interested candidates are invited to complete a programming challenge, followed by submission of a questionnaire as part of the application process.

The challenge may be completed in any programming language; however, submissions in C or C++ will be advantageous for this role.

If you do not receive feedback within three weeks of applying, please consider your application unsuccessful.

Applicants must possess a valid South African ID.
