Software Developer for Combine Harvester Control System

Are you motivated by giving your ideas wings as you are giving them landing gear in the shape of innovative technology products and features? Then you might be the new team member we are looking for.

In a fast-moving, and ever-changing business, AGCO’s Innovation Center in Randers, is searching for an experienced engineer to strengthen our competencies in automation. Though based locally in Randers, you will become part of a global Engineering organization and play a key role in the development and delivery of highly advanced automation solutions for combines.

“What motivates me when I get up in the morning is that we work with the most advanced technology in the industry. Control systems, Computer vision, Sensor fusion, and Autonomous systems are all things we work with every day here at AGCO Randers. We believe that we really can change the industry.” Says Dan Hermann, Systems Architecture, Engineering.

About the job

As a Software Developer in AGCO, you will be part of our international DevOps team, which is responsible for the automation of our combine harvester, IDEAL. You will help implement the new software solutions directly on our combine harvesters in C ++, as well as contribute inputs for further improvements and new features.

The DevOps team is newly established and you will therefore get a unique opportunity to take part in rethinking the best practices and be involved in developing and influencing the team.

The work practices in the team are described as; we are building the plane while we fly it. We work in an agile approach, where you are involved in continuously updating the system requirements in collaboration with end-users, product management, and the engineering organization. You will therefore have a high impact on the system, and you will have the opportunity to leave your fingerprints on future technologies and products.

As the DevOps team is international, there will be some travel activity to either our machines or to colleges in other countries. It is therefore a prerequisite that you have the opportunity to travel.

Your main tasks are the following:

• Direct communication with internal team members, such as product management and the engineering validation team, and end-users to identify, understand and prioritize requirements
• Design of experiments for applications in an agricultural environment
• Algorithm design, implementation, evaluation and presentation of results
• Participate actively in laboratory and field experiments
• Acquisition and analysis of sensor data from laboratory and field test

About you:

We place great emphasis on you being curious, driven, and self-managing, and that you have a natural desire to include your colleagues and ensure a strong team spirit in your daily work.

You probably have a relevant master’s degree and ideally, you have 3-5 years of experience in agile software development for modern C++ and/or Python. We are excited if you have:

• Knowledge of JavaScript and databases is an advantage
• Knowledge of Linux and Git is an advantage
• Knowledge of control system engineering is an advantage
• Domain knowledge from agriculture, agriculture machinery or other off-highway vehicles is an advantage
• Experience with electronic architectures and systems engineering is an advantage

Traits

An innovative and creative mindset is essential as detailed product requirements, the engineering toolbox and the processes are rarely defined upfront which demands you to utilize all your creative powers and pragmatic approaches.

Furthermore, to be a great candidate, you possess:

• Excellent verbal and written English is necessary.
• Great networking capabilities – you understand how to build and utilize your network for greater achievements
• Solution-oriented – quick in establishing the root cause of problems, even faster in finding potential solutions
• Costumer/end-user oriented – motivated by analyzing the pains and gains in the agriculture business and delivering value-adding solutions to the end-user
• It's a huge plus if you are proactive by nature and motivated by continually shaping and reshaping your own role in supporting the global team objectives
• Can work individually – but can operate in a team as well
• Motivated to make a difference where nothing is given in advance
