Embedded Software Engineer

Mid-Level Software Engineer

At Coats, we design, build, and support the technologies and machines that keep automotive shops running — keeping people moving and technology turning.

You'll apply established software engineering practices while developing proficiency in more complex systems and problem domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct hands-on testing and troubleshooting directly on the machines.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment of new software features.
• Ensure software meets performance, reliability, and quality standards.

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor's in Electrical/Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• 2 to 6 years of professional software engineering experience.
• C# /.NET / Visual Studio experience.
• Object-oriented programming and software design knowledge.
