Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Open 51d

Monil is building world-leading technology for virtual fencing and livestock monitoring. In just four years, we’ve grown to over 1,000 customers and more than 50,000 collars across multiple markets. We are now entering a new phase of international growth, and the next generation of products and capabilities will be critical to our success.

At the heart of our solution is a collar that combines animal interaction, sensors, positioning, and wireless communication. Operating in remote environments with only a small solar panel as its energy source, the collar must reliably deliver virtual fencing and continuous livestock monitoring under strict energy and connectivity constraints.

We're looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who wants to build products that operate in the real world and have a direct impact on sustainable agriculture and animal welfare.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and develop embedded software for next-generation livestock monitoring devices

  • Lead firmware development from concept through deployment and field validation

  • Build reliable low-power systems using cellular, GNSS, wireless communication, sensors, and on-device machine learning

  • Work closely with hardware, cloud, and product teams to bring new features from concept to field deployment

  • Drive software quality, architecture, and technical best practices across the platform

We believe you have

  • 5+ years of experience in embedded software development

  • Strong C/C++ skills and experience developing firmware for resource-constrained systems

  • Experience with modern embedded software architectures, development practices, and CI/CD

  • Experience building connected embedded systems and working with communication protocols

  • Solid understanding of low-power system design and energy-constrained devices

  • Experience with one or more of the following:

    • Cellular technologies (LTE-M, NB-IoT, 4G/5G)

    • GNSS

    • Bluetooth Low Energy and other wireless technologies

    • Sensor integration, signal processing, edge ML

    • Device management and OTA updates

We believe you are

  • Passionate about building reliable products that operate in challenging real-world environments

  • Comfortable taking ownership and driving projects from idea to deployment

  • Pragmatic, curious, and motivated by solving complex engineering challenges

  • A strong collaborator who communicates effectively across technical and non-technical teams

We offer

  • Meaningful impact on animal welfare and sustainable agriculture

  • Challenging engineering problems in low-power, connected systems

  • Opportunity to shape industry-leading products during a period of international growth

  • A collaborative environment with significant ownership and learning opportunities

  • Competitive compensation and benefits

Requirements

Candidates must have the right to work in Norway or within the EU/EEA, as we are unable to support relocation or visa sponsorship from outside this area.

Application deadline: August 16th 2026
