Your role in the team
- We are looking for a hands-on embedded systems architect to shape reusable software platforms across our products. Our systems combine ARM processors, real-time software, FPGA logic, signal processing, and hardware developed in-house.
- You should have first-hand experience taking embedded systems from prototype to released product and seen how architecture and security decisions affect integration, production, field operation, and maintenance.
- Our embedded products currently use AMD/Xilinx SoCs. Experience with this ecosystem is useful but not required; architecture judgment and comparable embedded experience matter more than familiarity with one toolchain.
- You will work with embedded, FPGA/DSP, hardware, Quality, Production, Operations, project managers, and external specialists. You will take on more of the embedded-platform architecture as you become familiar with our products and organization.
- You will have real technical ownership and influence how we structure, secure, release, and maintain embedded software. The decisions you make and the software you build will affect both current products and future ones.
- The work brings together embedded software, FPGA/DSP, electronics, RF, electromagnetics, and antenna engineering in smart-antenna, radar, and communications systems. You will collaborate directly with specialists from each field.
- Eigene Plattformentscheidungen, die Startup, Watchdogs, Diagnostik, Konfiguration, Update, Rollback, Wiederherstellung und Lifecycle-Verhalten abdecken.
- Translate product and stakeholder needs into clear, verifiable system and platform requirements. Resolve gaps and conflicting constraints with the responsible teams, and maintain traceability to architecture decisions and verification.
- Define and negotiate clear, testable interfaces between software, hardware, programmable logic, operating systems, and connected tools. Make ownership, versioning, compatibility, and failure behavior explicit.
- Evaluate processors, SoCs, operating systems, toolchains, and shared components against product and lifecycle constraints.
- Stay hands-on through implementation, prototyping, debugging, automated tests, and review of critical code.
- Apply security engineering to trust boundaries, secure boot and updates, recovery, device identity, provisioning, and key-lifecycle constraints.
- Back architecture decisions with working software, tests, and concise decision records. Support practical improvements to reviews, builds, releases, and configuration management.
- Leiten Sie Design-Reviews und unterstützen Sie Ingenieure dabei, Verantwortung für Plattformkomponenten zu übernehmen.
- Agree and maintain interface control documents (ICDs) and acceptance criteria across teams. Improve how technical work is handed from R&D to Production and Operations, including input from quality management, suppliers, and project partners.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Hands-on ownership of a security- or lifecycle-critical embedded capability used in a real product, such as secure boot, authenticated updates, rollback and recovery, provisioning, or device identity.
- Examples of architecture decisions you drove, including trade-offs, validation, and lessons from failures.
- Ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information and resolve technical disagreements across teams.
- Active and responsible use of AI-assisted engineering tools, with careful validation of results and appropriate handling of confidential or security-sensitive information.
Experience
- Mindestens sieben Jahre Berufserfahrung in der Embedded-Softwareentwicklung, einschließlich technischer Verantwortung für eine Plattform, Produktarchitektur oder ein kritisches Subsystem während der Implementierung, Veröffentlichung und Wartung.
- Strong C and/or C++ experience with ARM SoCs, microcontrollers, bare-metal software, an RTOS, embedded Linux, or a comparable low-level environment.
- Practical experience in requirements engineering, including writing and reviewing verifiable requirements and linking them to design and verification.
- Experience defining hardware/software contracts and reasoning about concurrency, timing, failure handling, compatibility, and observability.
- Experience improving development practices across design, implementation, review, testing, release, and maintenance.
What we offer
- For this position, the minimum salary according to the Metal Industry Collective Agreement (pay group IV, 8 years) is € 4,371.19 gross per month, with a clear willingness to overpay based on your existing projects and technical skills.
