Firmware & Integration Engineer

pXeryon is a fast-growing company located in the heart of the Eastech Park Leuven. With a close-knit team, we focus on developing and improving piezo motors, actuators, and stages. /p h3bJob Summary: /b /h3 pDue to its unique motor technology, Xeryon has developed its own control platform. The firmware running on these controllers ensures very precise and extremely fast movement of our motors. /p pAs an Embedded Software Developer at Xeryon, you will be responsible for the development of embedded software for our controllers and for programming User Interfaces on various platforms. /p pYour mission is to build and maintain in a team a scalable, modular firmware platform that supports multiple hardware variants and communication interfaces — ranging from accessible entry-level interfaces such as USB to robust industrial protocols such as CAN and CANopen. /p pYou take ownership of architectural decisions that ensure long-term maintainability, extensibility, and performance across our product portfolio. In addition, you support customers in integrating our controllers into their machines and industrial systems. /p h3bKey
