Abstraction Layers Booting (BIOS) Linux Firmware FreeRTOS Real-Time Operating Systems Reduced Instruction Set Computing Software Engineering Yocto Bare Metal Hardware Debugging

Job description

  • We are looking for an Embedded Systems Software Engineer to join our team developing software for our RISC-V SoC. You and your team will be responsible for the development of a bare-metal Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for our RISC-V SoC. The HAL is used for testing and proof-of-concept applications. Porting and maintaining firmware (OpenSBI), (real-time) operating systems (Linux, Zephyr), and the bootloader will also be a part of your responsibilities.
  • The development of a BSP (OpenEmbedded/Yocto) and porting applications for testing and benchmarking (SPEC CPU) is expected as well.

Requirements

  • Prospective team members require solid C skills and an interest in embedded / bare-metal and (RT)OS development; an understanding of CPU and memory systems (RISC-V a plus); exposure to bootloaders or RTOS (e.g. Zephyr, FreeRTOS) is welcome. Hardware debugging experience is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) and first relevant experience (internships, projects) is desired.
  • Relocation required. Currently 4 days on-site, 1 day remote. Policy may change.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary plus stock options
  • 30+ days of paid vacation
  • Relocation support
  • Full German social security and universal healthcare
  • A modern office
  • Free snacks, coffee, and drinks
  • Work with people who actually know their stuff - computer architects, hardware nerds, and engineers who love tough problems.
  • A culture where new ideas matter, but so does respect and collaboration.
  • Space to grow: pick up new skills, dig into areas that interest you, and shape your own path.
  • Get hands-on with real implementations of AI and signal processing - not just slides or buzzwords.
  • An inclusive team where different perspectives are valued and everyone contributes.

We are constantly looking for talent. We recruit through multiple channels - friends & colleagues, universities and professors we know, recruiters, conventions, e-mails and LinkedIn. Join us today.
