Embedded Software Architect

Join a global leader in precision-guided technologies for airborne defense systems. In a high-stakes, innovation-driven environment, we are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Architect to play a critical role in the development of next-generation firing systems and smart munitions. You’ll work within a multidisciplinary engineering team and be at the heart of architecture definition, embedded software design, validation, and integration for real-time systems deployed in mission-critical environments.

Your Responsibilities Define and develop embedded software architectures aligned with overall system constraints. Ensure architecture consistency and traceability across the entire project lifecycle, from concept to delivery. Guide the technical direction of embedded software projects, providing leadership to developers and engineering teams. Translate high-level system specifications into robust embedded solutions, balancing processing power, communication interfaces, and real-time constraints. Maintain and evolve existing software while contributing to new development initiatives. Guarantee compliance with software quality standards (unit testing, code coverage, SonarQube, etc.). Coordinate integration of embedded software with hardware components. Perform debugging at low level using oscilloscopes, probes, and embedded dev tools. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and support internal/external technical reviews. Monitor technology trends and recommend innovative tools or methodologies.

Master’s degree in Software or Electronics Engineering (or equivalent). Minimum of 10 years of experience in embedded software development. Proven expertise in C and Python for embedded real-time systems (C++ is a strong asset). Solid understanding of bare-metal and RTOS-based architectures (Linux RT, Yocto, Docker as a plus). Hands-on experience with communication protocols: CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553/1760, ARINC429, etc. Familiarity with NXP processors, Holt interfaces, Lauterbach TRACE32, and SEGGER debugging tools. Strong knowledge of multi-threading, concurrency, and low-level hardware-software integration. Experienced with Git-based workflows and tools like Bitbucket, Jenkins, SonarQube. Ability to work in Agile or V-model development frameworks. Excellent communication skills, mentoring mindset, and autonomy. Knowledge of DO-178, ARP4754, or ISO 26262 standards is a strong plus. Experience in aerospace, defense, or automotive industries is an advantage.

What We Offer A cutting-edge technological environment with real impact in defense innovation. The chance to take ownership of high-level software architecture challenges. A collaborative, agile, and expert-driven culture. Exposure to state-of-the-art tools and international project standards.
