Embedded Software Engineer C++ Hardware and Embedded Linux

• You develop modern C++ software for controlling and integrating in-house hardware assemblies on embedded Linux systems, including hardware abstraction layers and device-specific components.
• You bring up, debug and verify hardware at board and system level using tools such as JTAG, debuggers, logging and laboratory measurement equipment.
• You develop embedded firmware for microcontrollers in bare-metal and RTOS environments and implement interfaces to hardware peripherals.
• You design and implement device-level functionality and ensure a clean separation between hardware-related software, low-level control and application logic.
• You define and implement interfaces between software, firmware, FPGA and hardware, including register maps, communication interfaces and data formats.
• You develop test and diagnostic tools as well as automated unit and integration tests to support verification, validation and laboratory workflows.
• You analyze and optimize the performance, stability and resource usage of hardware-related software components.
• You apply shift-left principles by integrating testing, simulation, static analysis and automated checks early in the development process.
• You use AI-assisted development tools to support prototyping, test generation and routine development tasks while ensuring that generated results are validated through established review and testing processes.
• You work closely with interdisciplinary teams from software, FPGA, hardware and testing and document requirements, technical concepts and verification results.

• You have a degree in Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science or a comparable technical discipline.
• You have several years of experience in embedded software development and strong programming skills in modern C++.
• You have hands-on experience with Embedded Linux and hardware-related software development, ideally including hardware abstraction layers, device drivers or board-level integration.
• You are familiar with microcontrollers and common hardware interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC or Ethernet.
• You have experience with hardware bring-up and debugging and are comfortable using debuggers and laboratory measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes or spectrum analyzers.
• You are familiar with software development practices such as Git, code reviews, automated testing and CI/CD.
• Experience with CMake, Yocto, BSP development, bootloaders such as U-Boot or Linux kernel configuration is an advantage.
• Experience with bare-metal or RTOS-based firmware development as well as Python or MATLAB for prototyping, test automation or data analysis is an advantage.
• Ideally, you have experience with AI-assisted development tools and modern shift-left testing approaches.
• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and approach debugging and performance optimization in a structured way.
• You enjoy working across software and hardware disciplines, take ownership of your topics and communicate effectively in German and English.
