Senior Embedded Software Developer

Senior Embedded Software Developer
Oticon Medical is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Developer to join our team in developing next-generation bone conduction hearing aids. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in embedded systems, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technology, and working with software development in a regulated environment.

Newly created position

You will join a small and highly skilled team, working towards a new generation of bone conduction hearing aids independently from the technology previously used.

Your main responsibilities will be: 

• Develop and maintain embedded software for a system-on-chip (SoC) platform with an ARM core


• Configure and integrate low-level drivers for peripheral devices (e.g. PMIC)


• Integrate and mature our existing BLE stack by combining SDK examples with other software components for smooth coexistence.


• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including DSP engineers, PC software developers, and electronics designers


• Participate in system architecture discussions


• Implement robust testing and verification processes to ensure the software meets all functional and regulatory requirements.


• Working according to our Oticon Medical development cycle, which complies with regulatory requirements, to implement, optimize, verify, and document solutions.

Technical background

The candidate should hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Besides, we expect that you can tick off most of the following:

• Solid experience in embedded software development using C/C++


• Experience with Bluetooth Low Energy for audio and data.


• Familiarity with ARM-based SoCs and real-time operating systems (RTOS)


• Knowledge of audio streaming protocols and low-latency communication


• Experience with medical device software development and regulatory compliance


• Ability to produce high-quality, maintainable code


• Knowledge of good software practices, such as software design, unit testing and continuous integration

As a professional, you possess keen social intelligence and are fluent in English (Danish is a plus). You are committed to finding solutions to hard problems and skilled in discussing unknowns and documenting the outcome. You are creative in finding solutions to problems and experienced at handling issues and setbacks. You enjoy teamwork and bring people along with your supportive way of interacting with others and your good communication skills.

Work environment

The Oticon Medical BAHS R&D organization consists of 36 people, split between the headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden; Smørum, Denmark; and Sophia Antipolis, France.

Due to the size of our organization, we do not plan to develop everything in-house but rather utilize subcontractors or strategic partners for parts of the development. Our strategy is to be small and agile, and to accomplish this task we need to make unconventional choices and be pragmatic.

This position is open for the office in Smørum, Denmark, where we are currently 14 people located. Position is mainly on site.

Come join us!
You can look forward to a role filled with opportunities to learn and shape the future of bone-anchored hearing. We are developing products that truly make a difference for end users in a field ripe with potential for innovation.

If this piqued your interest, submit your application as soon as possible, as we review applications on an ongoing basis.

Deadline for applications is Feb 22nd, 2026. We only accept applications via our online recruitment system.
