Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer - **Company:** Onodrim Industries - **Location:** Amsterdam, Netherlands - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Automation of Tests, UClibc (C Standard Library), Code Review, Software Debugging, Linux, Linux on Embedded Systems, Firmware, Machine Learning, Operational Data Store, Real-Time Operating Systems, Signal Processing, Subsystems, System Programming, Enterprise Data Management, Data Logging, Large Language Models, Peripherals, AI Coding Agents, Backend, Yocto, Information Technology, Bare Metal, Build Tools, Data Management, Software Defined Radio, Software Version Control, Data Pipelines, Programming Languages - **Published:** November 10, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e71e9361463b7400 ## About the Role * A degree in computer science, software or electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline - or an equivalent track record of shipped systems. * 3+ years as a software engineer, with real experience on at least two of: embedded/firmware, embedded Linux and systems programming, data pipelines and signal or sensor processing, networking and protocols, backend services. * Strong in a modern programming language and willing to learn whatever the platform needs. * Familiarity with AI coding tools and ability to understand how to best make use of them * Hands-on with hardware: you have brought up a board, read a datasheet, used a scope or logic analyser, and debugged a problem that turned out to be electrical. * Comfort with Linux at the system level - build systems, cross-compilation, networking, performance - and with modern engineering practice: version control, CI, automated tests, code review. * A builder's mindset: you prefer a working prototype this week to a complete design next month, and you finish what you start. * Clear, direct communication in English, written and spoken, with engineers and non-engineers. * Willingness to travel within Europe for trials and demonstrations, with occasional travel to the US. * Right to work in the UK, Switzerland or the EU, and eligibility for a national security clearance in at least one of our operating countries. Nice to have * We operate our business in English but fluency in one or more additional European languages is beneficial. * Experience with RTOS or bare-metal firmware on ARM microcontrollers, or with Yocto/Buildroot-style embedded Linux images. * Signal processing or machine-learning experience on sensor data - detection, classification, tracking - including running models on edge hardware. * Familiarity with radios and tactical networking: software-defined radio, mesh protocols, cellular modules, or tactical data links and situational-awareness tools. * Experience integrating with enterprise data platforms, or building LLM-backed tooling on top of operational data. * Time at a hardware start-up, a robotics or drone company, or a research lab where you built a working system with a small team. * Military service or other first-hand exposure to how defence systems are used in the field. * An existing national security clearance. ## Description You'll report to the Head of R&D and work closely with the Programme Managers, our Forward Deployed Engineers and - as programmes mature - the engineering teams at the manufacturers we acquire, who will take what you built into production., * Build the software in the system. Write firmware and embedded Linux software for sensor and compute hardware, the services that run on it, and the data pipelines and processing that turn raw signals into something useful. * Integrate across the boundary. Bring up new boards with the hardware engineers, write drivers and interfaces for radios, sensors and peripherals, and debug problems that live between the schematic and the code. * Connect to the outside world. Implement the interfaces to tactical networks, command-and-control and situational-awareness systems, data platforms and partner equipment that our systems have to plug into. * Own a work package. Take a sub-system from the programme plan, scope it with the Head of R&D, estimate it, build it, test it and integrate it on the milestone date. * Make it testable. Build the tooling, simulators, logging and automated tests that let the team iterate quickly in the lab and trust what they take to the field. * Support trials and demonstrations. Travel to test sites and customer demonstrations, keep the system running under real conditions, and feed what breaks back into the next iteration. * Prepare for production. Keep builds reproducible, interfaces documented and configuration explicit so that a manufacturer can take the software over, flash it, test it and support it. * Use the modern toolchain. Apply data platforms and LLM-based tooling where they make the team faster, and have a view on where they don't. * Raise the bar. Review others' code, share what you learn, and help onboard the engineers who join after you.
