• • Develop and integrate firmware / embedded software for IO-Link device communication
• • Define and implement process data models (PDI/PDO) and ISDU parameter structures in line with the department's IO-Link data model framework
• • Author and validate IODD files; ensure interoperability with key IO-Link masters
• • Execute prototype builds, validation testing, and root cause analysis for design issues
• • Document technical designs, test results, and decisions with the rigor required for platform reuse in collaboration with the product architect
• Sub-Project Management
• • Take responsibility for assigned development sub-projects from kick-off to release gate
• • Structure work packages, define milestones, and keep the team aligned on scope and timeline
• • Track progress, escalate risks early, and report status clearly to the Department Director
• • Coordinate with external development partners, test labs, and certification bodies — managing expectations and commitments on both sides
