Job description

We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. You will develop firmware and low-level software for a robot platform - including actuator control, sensor integration, and communication interfaces between custom hardware and our ROS2-based software stack. In the long term, we expect this role to evolve into a core contributor to our embedded systems architecture, owning firmware design decisions and helping scale our hardware-software integration approach across new robot modules. Your Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain firmware for servo controllers and sensor boards
  • Implement communication layers between MCUs and ROS2 host systems
  • Integrate force/torque sensors and encoders at firmware level
  • Debug timing issues in real-time control loops
  • Support hardware bring-up for new actuator and gripper modules

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • C/C++ for embedded targets (ESP32, STM32)
  • Communication protocols: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, UDP
  • Real-time programming and timing-critical systems
  • Basic electronics debugging (oscilloscope, logic analyzer)

Beneficial Skills

  • Servo/motor control experience (Dynamixel, ODrive, or similar)
  • ROS2 integration from embedded side
  • Experience with robotic grippers or end-effectors
  • German language skills

About the company

  • A dynamic high-tech company combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
  • Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
  • Lots of development opportunities in the context of our continued growth.
  • Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
  • Corporate Benefits Program that covers health, mobility, and learning with 100€ net per month.
  • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment.
