Senior Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d)
Senior embedded software engineer (m/f/d) for embedded Linux, firmware and driver development on production hardware. Remote-friendly, with a lab and office in Stuttgart.
What you'll be working on
- Working with embedded Linux systems (e.g. Yocto) and RTOS (e.g. Zephyr)
- Embedded software development in C
- Driver development and hardware bring-up alongside the electronics team
- Setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for embedded projects
- Deployment strategies for production hardware
- Debugging with JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
- Close collaboration with clients and the internal team
We build prototypes for large industrial companies, quickly, pragmatically, and with as little overhead as possible. We're looking for a senior embedded software engineer who can take firmware from architecture and driver development through to deployment on production hardware.
This role is remote-friendly. Most of our developers work remotely, and we also have a lab and office in Stuttgart, so being able to work on site is a plus.
What to expect
- Hands-on work on real industrial prototype projects
- Ownership of firmware from architecture through bring-up to deployment
- Close collaboration with our electronics and mechanical engineers, since hardware and software are developed together here
- A small, cross-functional team with fast decisions and no corporate overhead
- Room to bring your own ideas and tooling choices
Must-have
- 5+ years of professional, production experience in embedded software development
- Strong C skills
- Experience with driver development and hardware bring-up
- Experience with embedded Linux systems (e.g. Yocto)
- Solid software engineering practices (clean git workflow, code review, CI/CD)
- Experience with communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB
- Comfortable working close to the hardware (debugging with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG/SWD)
- Professional level English
- Strong communication skills
Strong nice-to-have
- Rust experience
- Experience with Zephyr RTOS
- Experience deploying and maintaining software on production hardware (provisioning, fleet management)
- Embedded security experience (secure boot, TLS/crypto on constrained devices)
- Based in or near Stuttgart
Nice-to-have
- Experience with certification-relevant or safety-critical software development (e.g. CRA, IEC 61508, ISO 26262)
- German proficiency
