Embedded Engineer

We at WeQuel are now looking for an Embedded Engineer in Södertälje, where you will become an important part of the client’s System and Software team, focusing on developing and integrating functions and systems for both defence and civilian vehicles. The client’s special vehicles unit develops customer-specific solutions that go beyond the standard product offering. The work is close to the product and combines a prototyping mindset with production readiness: finding pragmatic solutions, testing them in vehicles, and making sure they are robust enough for production and customer use. You will work with system and software development across several parts of the vehicle, covering the complete development chain, from customer needs and requirements through function and system development to software impact and implementation.

As a consultant with us, you will have the opportunity to work with one of our clients, who are leading companies in the automotive, heavy vehicle and defence industries. There you will help develop innovative vehicle functions, take solutions from idea to production, and create robust, sustainable systems for demanding customer applications.

Your responsibilities:

• Concept development and prototyping

• System integration across several parts of the vehicle

• Embedded software development

• Testing, troubleshooting and verification

• Systemization of quick adaptations in existing systems

• Taking solutions from initial idea or prototype to production-ready implementation

• Technical deep dives into existing systems

• Administration of system change requests

• Development across the full chain: customer needs, requirements, function and system development, software impact and implementation

• Rig-based development and testing when needed

Typical projects include:

• Defence: PHEV based on BEV3, navigation system, tactical functions, Protected Cab, onboard diagnostics, Central Tire Inflation Systems

• Civilian: Longline, BEV for mining, Super Heavy Haulage, City Door, mixed suspension solutions

Projects vary in size and technical content and often run in parallel, so you can expect a high and variable pace, short development loops, and close cooperation with other parts of the client’s organization. Most work is performed in the office, supported by rig-based development and testing when needed.

Requirements:

• Experience in embedded software and/or system development

• Experience in vehicle functions, electronics or system integration

• Experience with CAN communication

• Master’s degree in mechatronics, physics, computer science or other relevant field

• Good English skills

• Good communication skills and ability to work across teams

• Hands-on approach to development and problem solving

• Interest in building broad vehicle and system knowledge

• Curious, pragmatic and willing to learn

• Comfortable working across different technical areas

• Ability to investigate problems and take responsibility for finding a way forward

• Technical curiosity and ownership

• Hands-on engineering mindset and interest in seeing solutions come to life in vehicles and test rigs

Please note: candidates with a purely web-based software development background are not the target profile for this role.

Meritorious:

• Experience with the client’s processes and systems

• Experience with the client’s vehicle architecture

• Diagnostics

• Electrification

You do not need to be an expert in every vehicle system. Above all, the client values technical curiosity, ownership and the willingness to learn.

Assignment details:

• Start date: 2026-10-08

• End date: 2027-12-31

• Location: Södertälje

• Workload: 100%

• Onsite: Minimum 3 days per week onsite (60%), up to 5 days (100%) if needed

We offer:
At WeQuel, you become part of a consulting team that values people first – we believe that success is created through engagement, collaboration and development. We offer a flat organization with short decision paths, a strong sense of community and the opportunity to influence your own development.
