Vacancy: Embedded Software Engineer
Do you want to contribute to the sustainability of European homes? Are you excited about working with advanced technology in a young, innovative organization? Do you have a technical Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and want to develop yourself in a rapidly growing company? Then Cooll is looking for you!
What will you do?
As an Embedded Software Engineer at Cooll, you will work on the control systems of our heat pumps. You’ll be part of the research and development team responsible for the device’s operational behavior. Your main task will be to develop and manage the embedded base layer written in C code. The functional control of our device is developed in a MATLAB Simulink environment, and prior experience with this is a plus.
Our engineering team works in a project-based manner. Due to the team’s size, each member has a broad range of responsibilities. You work with precision and have a strong sense of quality and safety. Since Cooll develops critical submodules for its heat pumps in-house, there are plenty of challenges to help you grow professionally.

Cooll mindset
A critical and solution-oriented mindset, with an appreciation for original ideas and contributions.
Independant team player
You can work independently and proactively, but you’re also a strong team player.
Bonus qualifications
Project management
An affinity for project management is a plus.
Precise working style
A precise and well-documented working style, as your role significantly impacts the safety of our (complex) product. Knowledge of safety software development is a bonus.
A little more about Cooll
At Cooll, a spin-off from the University of Twente, we are developing an energy-efficient and affordable heating solution for existing and new homes. Our adsorption heat pump is a one-to-one replacement for the traditional high-efficiency gas boiler in existing homes. It can be combined with both high-temperature and low-temperature heating systems, requiring no separate outdoor unit. The heat pump is powered by natural gas (or hydrogen in the future), extracting heat from the outside air to reduce gas consumption by 30-50% and CO2 emissions by 30-50%, all without increasing electricity usage.
This heat pump is a potential successor to the gas boiler for many Dutch homes. The same technology could eventually be powered by biofuels or (sustainably generated) hydrogen, enabling completely CO2-neutral heating through the gas network.
Cooll is based in Hengelo. Since 2009, we’ve built a team of enthusiastic and goal-oriented professionals from various backgrounds, united by a shared mission to make the built environment more sustainable.
What Cooll has to offer
- Opportunities to actively contribute to the energy transition and the sustainability of energy systems.
- Extensive development opportunities in a fast-growing, innovative company in the sustainable energy sector.
- Collaboration with experts across disciplines and leading technology companies in the Netherlands and abroad.
- An informal, down-to-earth work atmosphere with short lines of communication, where independence and courage are valued.
- A competitive salary based on your experience and a Stock Appreciation Rights program for employees.
