Software Engineer

Are you the resourceful troubleshooter who doesn’t walk away from a challenge when it comes to software, and do you enjoy not only solving software issues but also further developing the software in our high-tech machines? If so, we’re looking for you!

 

You will be part of a close-knit team, and while your colleagues often resolve issues on-site with customers, you provide remote support from Almelo. That is why customer-friendliness is one of your core competencies.

 

Of course, you are not going to work by yourself, because at IMS you can always rely on your colleagues from other engineering departments as well as non-engineering departments. At IMS, we place a high value on collaboration. Your technical insight and innovative approach ensure that our systems continue to function optimally worldwide.

What you'll be doing

We have a diverse range of clients all over the world, and you are the key to success whenever complex malfunctions occur in our machines at client sites. You typically work from our modern office in Almelo, though occasionally you also work on-site. You view every challenge as an opportunity to make existing software even smarter and more efficient.

 

You primarily work with Beckhoff (TwinCat 2&3) and occasionally with Siemens; knowledge of higher-level programming languages is a plus. You have the freedom to fully utilize your creativity and technical insight. No two days are the same; you switch quickly between providing remote support, optimizing customer processes, and implementing improvements, always keeping the end result and customer satisfaction in mind.
