Epiroc Electrification Solutions

Mission:

We are seeking an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead a cross-functional team of embedded and cloud engineers building IoT-enabled solutions that support the electrification of heavy-duty off-highway vehicles – from onboard ECU software to scalable Microsoft Azure cloud backends. You will own technical leadership, people development, and delivery execution, ensuring the team produces reliable, secure, and high-quality software that operates in demanding industrial environments. As the primary bridge between engineering, product management, systems, and business stakeholders, you will shape both the technical roadmap and the people culture of the team.

Key Responsibilities:

People Leadership & Line Management

• Act as line manager for a team of embedded and IoT/cloud software engineers.
• Coach, mentor, and grow team members in technical expertise and professional careers.
• Set clear individual goals, conduct performance reviews, and define career development plans.
• Build a culture of collaboration, accountability, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Lead recruitment, onboarding, and team capacity planning in a global engineering environment.

Technical & Architectural Leadership

• Provide guidance for layered embedded software systems developed in C and C++.
• Drive system modelling using methodologies like SysML and UML.
• Guide end-to-end IoT development across ECU, edge devices, connectivity, cloud platform (Azure), and data/application layers.
• Ensure seamless hardware–software integration across vehicle ECUs, IoT gateways, and telematics systems.
• Promote best practices in software development, coding standards, cybersecurity, and maintainable design.
• Balance technical debt, feature delivery, and long-term platform sustainability.

Delivery & Project Execution

• Track team deliveries, milestones, dependencies, and risks, to drive continuous improvements within the team.
• Collaborate closely with other teams and managers within EES R&D to secure the availability of resources with right knowledge and experience.
• Communicate progress, trade-offs, and risks clearly o technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support release planning, milestone tracking, and risk mitigation across product streams.

Quality, Verification & Validation

• Implement advanced V&V methodologies across the full development lifecycle.
• Ensure robust testing coverage: unit testing, ECU-level testing, system-level testing, and connected system validation.
• Implement and maintain the process for design reviews and full traceability between requirements, design, and implementation.
• Promote CI/CD, automated testing, and documentation best practices.
• Support compliance with applicable safety and industry standards (e.g. ISO 26262, IEC 61508, or equivalent).

Connected Vehicle & Cloud Integration

• Lead development and integration of IoT connectivity solutions for vehicle telematics, diagnostics, and remote monitoring.
• Collaborate with cloud and data platform teams to enable connected vehicle features and data-driven services.
• Ensure cybersecurity principles are applied across both embedded and cloud system layers.

Experience Requirement:

• BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Electronics, Embedded Systems, or a related engineering discipline.
• 10–15+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development for industrial, automotive, or vehicle platforms.
• 5+ years of experience leading and managing engineering teams.
• Strong programming expertise in C and C++; familiarity with RTOS and embedded Linux environments.
• Experience with layered embedded software architectures and ECU software development.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure preferred; AWS or equivalent accepted) and distributed system design.
• Knowledge of IoT connectivity: edge-to-cloud communication, IoT protocols (MQTT, AMQP, etc.), and device connectivity frameworks.
• Proficiency in modelling and requirements tools for system and software architecture.
• Understanding of cybersecurity principles for both embedded and cloud systems.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
• Knowledge of edge-to-cloud communication, IoT protocols, and device connectivity frameworks.
• Knowledge of functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
• Experience scaling teams or platforms across multiple product generations.
• Exposure to Agile/SAFe delivery frameworks in a hardware-software co-development context.
• Experience in mining, heavy equipment, off-highway vehicles, or automotive industries.

Personality requirement:

You are a dynamic people-oriented person with leadership skills. You are willing to travel and possess good communication skills and the ability to engage people. You believe in collaboration and have a strong personal drive. You have the ability to create a strong team and lead them to success in a global engineering environment.
