About the job

Nordic Semiconductor is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our Long Range & Cloud Radio Software team in Oslo. This role is a strong fit for an engineer who enjoys writing embedded radio code at the PHY-HW interface and building reliable tests and infrastructure.

You will help develop and maintain embedded software and test functionality for Nordic devices and supporting platforms. The work includes hands-on development in C and Python, test automation, hardware debugging, and close collaboration with our hardware teams. You’ll also help define a robust pipeline to help customers understand the quality and functionality available from the different protocols and modulations supported by our radio.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded software and test functionality for Nordic devices and internal platforms.

• Design and implement tests for radio software - at both the PHY and lower-MAC levels.

• Develop and maintain supporting tools and scripts, primarily in Python, to simplify testing, developer experience and velocity, and failure analysis.

• Investigate failures, identify root causes, and help drive corrective actions.

• Improve continuous integration workflows, test coverage, and result reliability.

Key Qualifications

At a minimum, you need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Cybernetics, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field.

• Strong knowledge and development skills in embedded C.

• Good English communication skills.

We think you will do well in this role if you bring a solid radio engineering foundation and enjoy both development and test-oriented work, which might include experience or interest in:

• Experience with embedded debugging on hardware.

• Radio operation, RF testing, or wireless protocol knowledge.

• Python for scripting, test automation, and tooling.

• Test automation frameworks and structured validation methods.

• Experience with continuous integration systems and automated test environments.

• Knowledge of developer tools such as Git, Jenkins, Zephyr, or GCC

Personal Skills

We are looking for a team player with strong collaboration skills and the ability to work independently.

• You should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks and following them through.

• You communicate clearly, ask good questions, and proactively share knowledge.

• You enjoy solving technical problems, especially when they cross between firmware, tooling, hardware, and test infrastructure.

• You are structured in how you work, but flexible when priorities change.

• You care about quality and want to improve both the product and the way the team works.

We also value curiosity, sound judgment, and a genuine interest in learning. This role is a good fit for someone who likes finding root causes and helping others succeed.
