At Lely, we develop technology that helps shape the future of sustainable dairy farming worldwide. Our robots operate around the clock and rely on robust, reliable software to perform at their best.

You will develop and improve Linux-based embedded systems that are essential to the performance, reliability, and scalability of our robots. Together with a multidisciplinary team of embedded software, electronics, and robotics engineers, you will work on technology that is used every day on farms around the world.
You combine technical depth with collaboration.
