Our  R&D department  is looking for its future  Embedded Software Engineer – ePowertrain (E/E Engineering)

As a  Software Embedded Engineer for E/E engineering , you will design and develop embedded software solutions that form the backbone of Yanmar's electric off-highway machines. Your expertise will be crucial in creating efficient and innovative electric powertrain architectures that enhance the operability and functionality of our electrified systems. Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams from Japan and the Netherlands, you'll ensure seamless integration and performance across all electronic components.

Your role is key in driving Yanmar's mission to lead in off-highway electrification through cutting-edge software and system design.

But before we tell you more about this opportunity, let us introduce ourselves!

ABOUT US

At Yanmar, we are committed to building a sustainable future. In April 2025, we launched the At  Yanmar , we are committed to building a sustainable future. In April 2025, we launched the  Electrification Unit (Eleo Technologies B.V.)  to lead the transformation of compact off‑highway machinery through innovative zero‑emission solutions.

The Electrification Unit focuses on developing a diverse portfolio of e‑powertrain technologies, including batteries and eDrives, to electrify applications such as excavators, wheel loaders, and other industrial machinery.

Operating globally with teams in the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan, the Electrification Unit leverages Yanmar's extensive resources and technical expertise to deliver efficient, reliable, and high‑performance electrification solutions.

Our work supports Yanmar’s broader  Green Challenge 2050  initiative, reinforcing our commitment to environmental responsibility and carbon reduction.

Joining  Yanmar’s Electrification Unit  means becoming part of a forward‑thinking team dedicated to innovation and sustainability. Here, your contributions will have a real impact on the future of energy and the development of cleaner, more efficient machinery.

Tasks

Design and implement embedded software solutions as part of the E/E architecture for electrified systems.
