Linux Embedded Software White-Box Testing Linux System Administration Socket Programming Subversion Git Information Technology Bare Metal Software Version Control

Job description

  • Learn, expand and optimize specific mechatronic, electronic and control-engineering concepts
  • Contribute to the design and development of new systems
  • Coordinate and document requirements with internal and adjacent specialist departments
  • Define, delegate and independently develop solutions together with internal teams and external partners
  • Integrate and verify developed solutions up to white-box level
  • Support initial in-house commissioning and implement required changes at short notice
  • Achieve series readiness and support the product life cycle in the event of technical issues

The position offers you the opportunity to contribute to highly precise mechatronic systems and apply your embedded software expertise in an interdisciplinary environment. You will accompany development from the initial concept through to series readiness and thus make a direct contribution to future-oriented lithography systems.

Requirements

  • Completed university degree in a scientific or technical discipline, preferably control engineering, physics, mechatronics, applied computer science or a comparable field
  • Several years of practical experience in embedded software development in bare-metal and Linux environments
  • Experience with ARM-based systems-on-chip, hardware-related development and low-level protocols in C
  • Sound knowledge of Linux, particularly socket programming, semaphores, interrupt handlers and memory-mapped I/O
  • Confident use of coding guidelines and version-control systems such as Subversion and Git
  • Constructive and creative collaboration with experts from different disciplines
  • Fluent English and German skills at least at B2 level
