R&D 

At the heart of our company lies the Research & Development (R&D) Department, where engineering passion meets innovation. Our R&D team is driven by a love for pushing the limits of technology, designing solutions that not only unlock the full potential of operators but also transform workplace safety. We thrive on creating cutting-edge, cost-effective products that redefine market standards and deliver real value to our customers. Guided by strategic insights from Product Management, we are constantly exploring new frontiers in technology and design, while our quality group takes the lead in refining processes and enhancing product performance.

Here, you’ll be part of a dynamic team of 35-40 engineers and innovators across five specialized subdepartments: Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Verification & Compliance, Software Engineering, and Project Office. If you’re an engineer who’s passionate about shaping the future and turning ambitious ideas into reality, this is where you’ll find the challenge and excitement you’re looking for.

Product Management

Our Product Management team plays a critical role in shaping the future of our company. They are responsible for defining, maintaining, and driving the development of products and services globally. By closely aligning customer needs, corporate strategy, and market trends, the team ensures that our solutions consistently deliver superior value—helping machine builders empower operators. Through a comprehensive product management process, this team of around nine experts strategically balances innovation, quality, and cost to deliver solutions that meet—and often exceed—market demands.

Anton is a Software Engineer at Scanreco and a part of the team that maintains, supports and develops their old, current and new software platforms.

Despite being new to the role, he has clear technical ownership. His daily operation involves developing embedded software in C, and setting up user interfaces between software and hardware.

“I’m currently working on the software for our new product Pistol Grip that is yet to be released. It requires working with initial requirements all the way down to a finished feature in the product. A lot of it is about defining how the system behaves in different scenarios, for example, how the user gets feedback via LED, Mono and LCD displays or how the device responds to different button sequences.”

At Scanreco, a lot is built from the ground up, with a strong focus on clarity, robustness, and full control of system behavior. That way of working demands precision, but it also gives you a lot of technical freedom.

“Our work requires us to closely interact with the hardware and understand its capabilities to develop efficient software for it.”

“Scanreco offers a very unique experience for software developers that enjoys working with low-level programming and observing how your code behaves on a physical product right away.”

Even though Anton is new to Scanreco, he’s been granted full responsibility on his part of the system, both architecture and implementation. But at the same time, he gets excellent support from experienced colleagues.

“It’s an open environment, and it’s easy to get help. We discuss solutions, do code reviews, and learn a lot from each other. You get the freedom to solve problems your way, but never without support.”

For Anton, it’s the mix of deep technical work, real ownership, and strong collaboration that makes Scanreco a great place to work.

“If you like embedded development, low-level programming, and taking responsibility for the whole chain, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to contribute here.”

As an Systems Engineer at Scanreco, Vedran is involved in developing the radio remote control products and functions of the future. In his job, there is seldom a standard solution to a problem. He has to be creative and find new solutions . 

Radio control functionality requirements often vary widely between customers. We customize our standard products in many different ways, for instance with buttons, joysticks, screens and functions. And we develop new solutions to make radio remote control systems even safer and more user-friendly.

“The process often starts with a customer request, or when we discover an internal need for a new function. What makes it fun is that each project is a unique challenge. We seldom know in advance how to best solve a problem,” he says.

Vedran studied electronics at high school, and initially spent a few years working at Ericsson. But after a while he realized he wanted to go further, so he opted to study electrical engineering at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

“After graduating from KTH, I wanted to find a technology-driven company in Stockholm that offered freedom to work creatively and plan goals. By chance, a childhood friend called and told me that Scanreco was seeking an engineer. And that’s how I ended up here.”

Vedran has been with Scanreco for 18 years and is still happy here. Being an engineer in a smaller company means you have a wider variety of work tasks. As a result, the job is never boring.

“It’s cool that we’re a world leader in radio remote control! There’s a lot happening right now, with new products and new customers. It’s always fun to go to work.”

Although Vedran loves problem solving, it can be challenging to always have to come up with creative solutions.

“Luckily, it’s never down to just one person. We work closely as a team and spark ideas off each other. We also collaborate with other departments such as software and mechanics. There are few things as exciting as seeing the final developed product.”
