At Nedap Security, we develop intelligent and secure solutions for access control and security. Our systems are used worldwide to enable people, vehicles and organisations to move safely and efficiently, both inside and around buildings and in critical environments.
As a Firmware Engineer, you will work at the heart of our products: the embedded software that brings our hardware to life. You will translate functional requirements into robust technical designs and develop smart firmware that is reliable, secure and future-proof.
