Senior Software Engineer – Application Platform (m/f/d)

At AP Sensing, we’re building on a success story that began in the garage of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. As an independent HP spin-off, we combine over 40 years of technological expertise with a passion for innovation.

Together we’ll continue to enhance infrastructure, protect people, and safeguard our planet. With a commitment to fiber optic sensing, we value every voice and empower growth. Join us in thinking ahead to create a smarter, safer world.

As part of AP Sensing, you will immerse yourself in a fascinating world: Together we take measurement technology to the limits of physics. We use fiber optic cables as sensors and build measuring devices and software that measure temperatures and acoustic signals along the fiber with meter precision.
