About the role

Are you motivated by shaping how industrial organizations design and scale intelligent embedded systems and edge AI in real-world environments? Do you thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping customers move from emerging edge AI concepts to robust, production-ready solutions that transform how industrial products, vehicles, and systems are built and operated? Etteplan is strengthening its Advisory Services capabilities and is now looking for a Principal Consultant, Embedded Systems & Edge AI to join our newly established Advisory team within Software and Embedded Solutions (SES). As Principal Consultant, Embedded Systems & Edge AI, you operate at the intersection of industrial domain understanding, embedded software and hardware architectures, and edge AI engineering practices. You lead early-phase engagements, helping customers frame complex challenges, assess feasibility and maturity, and define clear directions for adopting edge AI and next-generation embedded architectures in industrial contexts. You act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, ensuring continuity from advisory consultancy work into implementation and delivery, collaborating closely with delivery teams and architects. In parallel, you play a key role in building and scaling Etteplan’s internal embedded and edge AI capabilities, acting as a role model and technical leader across Advisory Services and Business Units.

Job Details

Responsibilities

  • Leading early-phase client engagements and consultancy related to embedded systems and edge AI, including discovery, framing, feasibility assessment, and direction-setting in industrial environments.
  • Advising customers on edge AI adoption and embedded architecture modernization, focusing on robustness, scalability, safety, and value creation in real production systems.
  • Translating industrial challenges into clear embedded product and edge AI problem statements, architectures, and roadmaps.
  • Supporting sales and pre-sales by providing insight, credibility, and technical leadership in strategic customer discussions.
  • Contributing to the development and refinement of Etteplan’s Embedded Systems & Edge AI offerings, methods, and best practices.
  • Building embedded and edge AI capability across Business Units – acting as a mentor and role model for lead engineers and architects.
  • Driving an AI-first mindset in how software and embedded systems are designed, developed, and maintained in industrial contexts.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in consulting, advisory, advanced technology, or other senior client-facing roles – with direct experience leading engagements with senior stakeholders, not just supporting teams that do it
  • Solid foundation in embedded software and/or hardware development and modern software engineering/architecture, combined with a strong understanding of industrial AI requirements – including reliability, observability, safety, and lifecycle management – in hardware-constrained environments
  • Demonstrated ability to take complex, ambiguous business and engineering challenges and turn them into structured directions
  • Background in industrial, manufacturing, energy, automotive, defense, or other complex engineering-driven domains
  • Advisory & consulting capabilities, with strong ability to bridge strategy and execution
  • Ability to operate comfortably in international and multi-disciplinary environments
