Job Description

Guild Automation

We are a Winnipeg-based startup company with two founders and four employees. We specialize in electronic control system (ECS) development for industrial vehicles, primarily for the agriculture and construction industries.

Opportunity

We are seeking a Junior Embedded Software Developer with a strong technical foundation and curiosity for vehicle electronics and control systems. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer or co-op student eager to apply their knowledge in real-world industrial systems while gaining hands-on experience across embedded software development, safety processes, and hardware integration.

This is a hybrid role, meaning that while the position is located in Winnipeg, MB, some work-from-home is acceptable.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Collaborate directly with clients to understand their ECS requirements, pain points, and performance goals.
• Design, develop, and test embedded software systems for heavy equipment.
• Use tools and platforms such as C/C++, Embedded Linux, Qt, and CODESys to develop embedded applications and graphical user interfaces.
• Work with vehicle electronics involving J1939 CAN communication, wireless communication, 12V/24V systems, and vehicle electrification.
• Collaborate with hardware and mechanical engineers to integrate embedded software into complete system architectures.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation to assist technicians and field engineers with diagnostics and maintenance.
• Support hazard analysis, risk assessments, and safety requirement allocation workflows alongside the engineering team.

Our Role

We promise to provide you with technical challenges, real responsibility, and constructive feedback. Our goal is to create an environment in which you feel excited, supported, able to be creative, and motivated to succeed.

Job Qualifications

Here are a few of the things we are looking for. You do not need to have all of this experience to start, as long as you are willing to learn.

Requirements

• A degree/diploma in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong understanding of embedded systems concepts and familiarity with C/C++.
• Strong understanding of software development concepts and best practices.
• Strong problem-solving abilities with an eagerness to learn and work collaboratively.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have (but not required)

• Knowledge of vehicle electronics, CAN communication, and system wiring.
• Exposure to Qt, MATLAB, or CODESys environments.
• Exposure to agricultural, heavy equipment, or industrial vehicle systems.

Soft Skills

• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Analytical and creative problem-solving skills.
• Curious, adaptable, and eager to learn.
• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and reliability.
• Self-motivated and accountable in a remote environment.
