Student Programmer – On Machine Software
We are looking for a motivated student programmer to join our On Machine Software team in Leica's Machine Control Division in Odense and contribute across the complete software development workflow.
Contact Martin Reich →
About the role
You will work alongside experienced engineers on solutions for the heavy construction industry. In our On Machine Software department, we are developing embedded devices running RTOS and Linux, deployed on excavators or dozers with the intent to guide and control construction workflows.
The role provides an opportunity to gain practical experience, develop your technical skills, and learn how professional software is designed, built, tested, and maintained.
As a student programmer, you will take part in a broad range of software activities. Depending on current priorities and your interests, your work may include development, validation, maintenance tasks and improving the tools that support our teams. You will be based at our headquarters in Odense with access to our T-Site, where our solution is running on real construction machines.
What you will work with
- Developing and improving software features.
- Validating software through testing, investigation, and documentation.
- Creating and maintaining tools that support development and quality activities.
- Collaborating with software developers, testers, and other stakeholders.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a student who is curious, structured, and eager to learn. You are currently studying software engineering, robotics, computer science, or a related field and have some programming experience from your studies, personal projects, or previous work.
You enjoy solving problems, take responsibility for your tasks, and communicate well with others. Familiarity with software development, testing, automation, or development tools is an advantage, but we value motivation and willingness to learn above specific technologies.
Interested?
