AGCO Hiring For Software/Electronics Engineer, SmartAG at Suolahti Finland Full Time

AGCO is an international company headquartered in Atlanta US, and is one of the leading manufacturers of agriculture. Within the Engineering Department, AGCO has created a Global multidisciplinary innovation team – the new Smart AG team.   

We are looking for a 

Software / Electronics Engineer 

based in Jyväskylä, Finland 

We work outside of traditional engineering processes to accelerate and refocus product development. At the core of the team’s mission is the entrepreneurial mindset of understanding farmers’ daily lives and getting value by giving solutions out to them as fast as possible. We’re looking for a naturally proactive and customer orientated team member to help kick start our activities. So, if you’re passionate about understanding what customers really need and delivering solutions with the flexibility and speed of a garage start-up, yet with the resources of a global company, then this position is the chance for you to throw away the rule book and get the job done! 

We’re building the plane as we fly it 

As our Smart AG Team is brand new, you will have the unique opportunity to take part in rethinking the best practices and be involved in developing and influencing the team. We work in an agile approach, where you are involved in continuously updating the system requirements in collaboration with end-users, product management, and the engineering organization. You will therefore have a high impact on the system, and you will have the opportunity to leave your fingerprints on future technologies and products. 

Job Responsibilities 

As our new Electronics Engineer, you will play a key role in bringing new product ideas to market. You will be part of an agile team, where you will take part in all aspects of product development and experience a variety of tasks: 

•  Evaluate technologies and solutions

•  Software design and implementation 
•  Collaboration with suppliers 
•  Testing and certification 
•  Product launch and maintenance 

The job offers a large degree of freedom, flexibility and responsibility to form the workday to suit your ambitions and goals. 

Your profile 

We place great emphasis on you being curious, driven, and self-managing, and that you have a natural desire to include your colleagues and ensure a strong team spirit in your daily work. 

You will probably have a relevant education and relevant experience. To succeed in the role, you have experience with: 

•  Programming languages: C++, C, Python.

Domain knowledge from agriculture, agriculture machinery or other off-highway vehicles is also an advantage. 

Your traits 

An innovative and creative mindset is essential, as detailed product requirements, the engineering toolbox and the processes are rarely defined upfront, which demands you to utilize all your creative powers and pragmatic approaches. Furthermore, to be a great candidate, you possess: 

•  Customer/end-user oriented – motivated by analyzing the pains and gains in the agriculture business and delivering value-adding solutions to the end-user 
•  Solution-oriented – quick in establishing the root cause of problems, even faster in finding potential solutions 
•  It’s a huge plus if you are proactive by nature and motivated by continually shaping and reshaping your own role in supporting the global team objectives 
•  Desire to network – you understand how and want to build and utilize your network for greater achievements 
•  Can work individually – but can operate in a team as well 
•  Motivated to make a difference where nothing is given in advance 
•  Excellent verbal and written English 

Given that AGCO is an international company, you may expect some travelling in relation to your work, both nationally and internationally, to visit either customers or colleges in other countries. It is therefore a prerequisite that you have the opportunity to travel. 

What we offer you 

As our new team member, you become a part of our team of 10 engineers, designers and agronomists who all have a different focus area. We are result-orientated and innovation-driven at a high professional level and with excellence in delivery.

•  A global role working with people from multiple countries and visiting customers around the world 
•  A collaborative culture where thoughts soon translate into action. 
•  Responsibility and empowerment of teams and individuals to self-organize and execute. 
•  Good and open work environment, where freedom and creativity are core values. 
•  Hybrid remote work policy 
•  A salary that matches your experience and qualifications
