## Description

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineerm you will play a key role in designing, developing, and optimizing software for real-time embedded systems in our platforms. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware engineers, systems engineers, and flight software teams to deliver robust and secure embedded solutions.

You will design and develop low-level embedded firmware for safety-critical drone systems. You will own real-time firmware components running on STM32-based platforms, enabling reliable communication, control, and fault-handling capabilities in mission-critical environments. You will work close to the hardware, contributing to system integration, debugging, and safety-oriented embedded architecture in compliance-driven development environments., * Develop embedded firmware in native C for STM32-based embedded systems

 * Design and implement real-time embedded software for safety-critical applications (drone control systems and payload integration)
 * Contribute to the architecture and design of embedded systems with high reliability and security requirements
 * Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to support board bring-up, validation, and system integration
 * Analyse and troubleshoot complex hardware-software interaction issues
 * Contribute to safety-critical development processes, verification activities, and technical documentation
 * Support architecture discussions and technical decision-making for embedded platform development
 * Ensure firmware reliability, maintainability, and deterministic real-time behaviour under demanding operating conditions
