Would you like the exhilarating opportunity to design quality reusable embedded products used for agricultural, forestry, and construction industries?  DISTek serves as a trusted engineering partner, working with customers by assisting in the development of specialized compact and efficient embedded systems, ECUs, electro-hydraulic controls, and vehicle networks. These are just some of the types of projects you could enjoy working on in this position. Our engineers also help our customers scale and grow over time by providing support, training, and on-site engineering services.  We provide a high-tech, challenging, and productive work environment while retaining a small business atmosphere. DISTek is a company that upholds family values and common sense - two things we believe will always carry us through the exciting challenges and opportunities we face. If you are motivated by the challenge to develop unique technology, seek a continuous learning environment, and are willing to contribute enthusiastically to our ongoing success, please read on.

As our Embedded Software Engineer, you will join our team of engineers in Fargo, ND. Your primary mission will be to architect, design, implement, and test the real-time software that controls features found on both large and small off-road vehicles.  Your demonstrated knowledge and experience in systems and software product development, including C and C++ will be vital to your success. If you have specific experience developing applications in an Agile environment for automated engine controls, then you will feel right at home. Because you are a fast learner with the ability to work independently (as well as part of a small team of software, electrical, and system engineers), you feel comfortable in a role where you are expected to think out of the box and devise innovative solutions to complex control problems. Also, because you have strong communication skills, you have no problem providing local and remote technical support to engineering, manufacturing, operations, and service organizations.  In exchange for your technical prowess, you will be rewarded with challenging and high-impact projects that will pioneer new generations of large and small off-road vehicles.
