The product is currently in the R&D phase and will be deployed and validated in real-world pilot environments, with a strong focus on reliability, safety, scalability and intelligent automation. This is a unique opportunity to work on a greenfield product where embedded systems, IoT, cloud technologies and AI come together. Rather than maintaining an existing solution, you will contribute to building an innovative connected hardware platform from the ground up, working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams and taking part in every stage of product development-from prototype to real-world deployment. As an Embedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer, you will play a key role in developing the firmware that powers the platform. You will work closely with Systems Engineering, Backend/Cloud, AI/ML and Validation teams to integrate hardware, sensors and communication layers into a reliable, production-ready connected device. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building, testing, debugging and integrating real-world embedded systems., The Embedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer will be responsible for developing embedded firmware and integrating hardware components into a reliable connected platform suitable for prototype validation and real-world deployment., * Developing firmware for microcontrollers and embedded modules * Integrating sensors using interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, CAN and RS485 * Supporting integration of environmental, thermal, radar, occupancy, acoustic, load-cell and other sensor systems * Developing low-level sensor drivers, data acquisition routines and hardware abstraction layers * Implementing actuator control logic for ventilation, heating, cooling, power management and other controlled subsystems * Implementing watchdog mechanisms, diagnostics, fail-safe behaviour, error handling and recovery routines * Supporting edge-side preprocessing and communication with backend/cloud services * Integrating embedded firmware with MQTT and API-based communication where applicable * Supporting OTA firmware update functionality and version management * Performing hardware bring-up, board-level debugging, prototype testing and field troubleshooting * Collaborating on system integration, pilot deployment and validation activities * Preparing technical documentation related to firmware, interfaces, testing procedures and integration status ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Edge Orchestration for the Physical World: Connecting Cameras, Sensors, and Devices with MQTT](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100081-edge-orchestration-for-the-physical-world-connecting-cameras-sensors-and-devices-with-mqtt) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Austria – the most livable place for software developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/20-austria-the-most-livable-place-for-software-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Vienna](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/292-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-vienna) - [Software Developer Salary in Austria [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/213-software-developer-salary-in-austria-2023) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [IT Salaries in Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/286-it-salaries-in-austria)
