Software Developer – Propulsion Control Systems

Would you like to develop software that controls and monitors marine propulsion systems? We are looking for a Software Developer

within Propulsion Control Systems who wants to work closely with both hardware and advanced control systems for the future of

shipping.

At Berg Propulsion, you will develop embedded software for our propulsion systems and have the opportunity to follow your work

throughout the entire process – from system design and programming to testing and real-world operation onboard vessels.

Berg Propulsion develops propulsion and energy solutions for the global marine industry, with a strong focus on innovation,

technical excellence, and more efficient and sustainable shipping.

At our Hönö site, engineers from different disciplines work closely together to develop complete solutions for the vessels of the

future. Software and control systems are becoming increasingly important parts of our propulsion solutions and play a central role

in system functionality, performance, and reliability.

As a Software Developer within Control Systems, you will work with improvements of our current platform as well as contribute to

the development of our next generation of control systems for Berg Propulsion’s propulsion solutions.

Your main focus will be embedded development in C, with software running directly on microcontrollers in a bare-metal environment.

The software interacts closely with sensors, I/O, communication interfaces, and other onboard control systems.

The role extends well beyond programming. You will work throughout the entire development lifecycle – from requirements, system

design, and architecture to implementation, integration, testing, and troubleshooting.

As the software directly controls physical equipment, you will work closely with both the hardware and the propulsion system. This

gives you the opportunity to follow your software from development and testing in a laboratory environment all the way to a

propulsion system operating onboard a vessel.

You will be part of our software team and collaborate closely with engineers within areas such as automation, electronics, and

electrical integration. The team also includes developers working with Energy Management Systems, Digital Solutions, and other

software solutions.

The role may involve international travel to shipyards, vessels, customers, and partners in connection with integration,

commissioning, and troubleshooting.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Electronics, Automation, or another

relevant technical field.

• We are open to different technical backgrounds – what matters most is your expertise and understanding of embedded development

and hardware-near systems.

Experience with system testing, simulation, HIL testing, industrial communication protocols, or marine control and propulsion

systems is considered an advantage.

Ideally, you have a few years of relevant professional experience, but we do not have a specific requirement regarding the number

of years. Your technical expertise, potential, and ability to contribute in the role are more important.

• Develop robust and reliable embedded software for systems where correct behaviour, predictability, and performance are

critical.

• Communicative and collaborative, and comfortable working with people across different disciplines, backgrounds, and areas of

expertise.

You enjoy having ownership and working independently, while seeing collaboration with other developers and engineering disciplines

as a natural part of developing robust and reliable systems.

At Berg Propulsion, you will have the opportunity to develop software that directly controls real propulsion equipment. You can

follow your work from the first lines of code and laboratory testing all the way to a system operating onboard a vessel.

You will be part of an experienced development organization where software, electronics, automation, and marine propulsion

technology come together to solve complex technical challenges.

The role offers a high degree of ownership and the opportunity to influence both technical solutions and future systems. You will

work alongside other software developers, including colleagues within Energy Management Systems, giving you the opportunity to

work closely with a wide range of technologies and systems across the vessel.
