Embedded Software Engineer

• Build the onboard capability set: camera and video pipeline, hardware-accelerated vision building blocks, telemetry, and clean integration interfaces for GNC and mission payloads.
• Implement the Linux side of the inter-processor communication with the real-time domain, including health monitoring, time synchronization and watchdog strategies.
• Make the platform fleet-ready: secure boot chain, signed image updates, system hardening, fast and deterministic boot.
• Set up CI with automated on-target testing and hardware-in-the-loop rigs; support integration and flight-test campaigns.
• Work closely with SoC vendor BSPs and our in-house hardware team during board bring-up and debugging.
• Mentor engineers across the team on Linux platform topics and establish maintainable platform practices., * Build technology with real operational impact: Develop autonomous defence systems designed to protect lives and strengthen Europe’s security
• Shape scalable defence capabilities: Work on solutions built for mass deployment, cost efficiency, resilience, and reliable production at scale
• Contribute to networked air defence: Help integrate our systems into multi-layered defence architectures alongside sensors, command systems, and effectors
• Develop for real-world operations: Build capabilities together with end users and improve them continuously based on direct operational feedback
• Move fast and take ownership: Work in a focused, high-performance team where decisions are made quickly and individual contributions have immediate impact
• Define a new generation of defence technology: Join early and help shape the products, engineering standards, culture, and direction of a fast-growing deep-tech company
• Work with an international mission-driven team: Collaborate with experienced specialists united by the goal of creating sovereign and effective security capabilities for Europe, * Virtual stock options: Participate in our success through Virtual stock options (VSOPs) at the company’s current valuation
• Monthly allowances: €106/month in flexible benefits including lunch discounts and EGYM Wellpass or shopping credit
• Regular health care events: Health check-ups, skin screenings, mental health workshops, and an annual vitamin infusion on us
• Referral bonus: Earn a reward when someone you refer joins the team
• Regular team events: On- and off-site activities to connect and celebrate together
• Corporate discounts: Exclusive employee discounts across a wide range of partner brands
• Flexibility: Flexible working hours and hybrid work model, plus a modern Munich office built for focus and collaboration

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable qualification.
• 5+ years of professional embedded Linux experience: Yocto or Buildroot, kernel and device-tree work, driver development and debugging on Arm SoCs.
• Strong C/C++ skills; Python for tooling and test automation.
• Hands-on experience with heterogeneous multi-core SoCs and enough RTOS understanding to design clean contracts with a real-time domain.
• Practical experience with camera/video pipelines (e.g. V4L2, GStreamer); ISP tuning and ML deployment on embedded accelerators (e.g. vendor NPU SDKs, TensorRT-class toolchains) are a strong plus.
• Experience with secure boot, signed updates and embedded security hardening is a strong plus.
• Experience with UAV flight stacks or companion-computer setups (e.g. PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink) is a plus.
• Comfortable in the lab: reading schematics, using scopes and analyzers during bring-up.
• A pragmatic platform thinker who takes ownership and builds for the long run.
• Fluent in English, German is beneficial.
