Job Description
Software Engineer – Machine Control
Build the future of construction
Every day, our machine control solutions guide excavators, dozers, and graders on job sites in more than 80 countries. They shape the roads people drive on, the tunnels they pass through, and the infrastructure that keeps cities moving. And that’s why your work truly matters here.
We’re now looking for a Software Engineer to join our IoT & On‑Machine Application team working mainly on Leica MC1 and XSight360 here in Stockholm.
If you love solving complex problems, thrive in modern engineering environments, and want your code to make a real‑world impact this is a place where you’ll do your best work.
What You Will Do
Develop new features and enhance our machine control applications in C++ and Python.
Contribute across the full SDLC: design, specification, implementation, testing, documentation.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated quality gates, and testing frameworks.
Improve platform observability: error tracking, version behavior, field insights.
Contribute to technical decision‑making, architectural improvements, and development direction.
Support our shift toward agentic development workflows, shaping how we build software in the future.
What You Bring
You are a pragmatic and curious engineer who cares deeply about building reliable, well‑designed software. You enjoy working across the stack, understanding systems end‑to‑end, and iterating towards excellence.
Required
Professional experience in software development (3+ years)
Strong C++ development skills

You take ownership and enjoy autonomy
What We Offer
At Leica Geosystems, you’ll join a team working on technology that truly matters—and a culture that supports you in doing your best work.
