Embedded Software Engineer

TOMRA was founded in 1972, based on the design, manufacturing and sale of reverse vending machines (RVMs) for automated collection of used beverage containers. Today TOMRA provides solutions that enable the circular economy with advanced collection and sorting systems, and food processing by employing sensor-based sorting and grading technology. 

The TOMRA Group employs 5000 people globally and is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE: TOM). TOMRA was named Norway’s Most Innovative Business in 2023, number one on the list of the country’s top 25 companies. 

TOMRA Collection is a leading innovator in the circular economy and Clean Loop Recycling. Founded on the invention of the world's first reverse vending machine, we now collect over 50 billion drink containers for recycling each year through 85,000 installations across 60 markets. The 50 billion collected containers represent only 3% of global beverage packaging sold which provides a significant opportunity for TOMRA Collection to continue its growth and further contribute to a more sustainable planet. 

At TOMRA, we want people to innovate, show passion in their work and be responsible. We encourage the freedom to innovate and take risks that result in breakthroughs that challenge the status quo. We value passion that focuses and commits to meeting success. We believe in a responsible and safe mindset that takes care of our customers, products, and fellow employees.   

The RVM Software department at TOMRA Collection develops and maintains the software that powers TOMRA's new and existing reverse vending machines (RVMs).
