About the Position

Senior Embedded Software Engineer (All Genders)

Munich, Bavaria, Germany

We are the architects of the physical experience. As part of our R&D-driven Electronics Department, our Hardware Team turns visionary ideas into high-performance technology. In our enthusiastic and high-energy environment, we have the tools, the talent, and the passion to engineer first-class products that lead the global market.

Your Mission

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, 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.

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware in native C for STM32-based embedded systems
• Design and implement real-time software for safety-critical drone and aerospace applications
• Build low-level drivers, communication interfaces, bootloaders, and hardware abstraction layers
• Implement robust fault detection, watchdog, redundancy, and failsafe mechanisms
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to support board bring-up, validation, and system integration
• Analyze and troubleshoot complex hardware-software interaction issues using oscilloscopes, debuggers, and logic analyzers
• 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 behavior under demanding operating conditions

Requirements

• Bachelor's/Master's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of embedded firmware development experience
• Strong native C programming skills in embedded or low-level environments
• Hands-on experience with STM32 microcontrollers
• Experience developing real-time embedded systems using RTOS or bare-metal architectures
• Ability to read schematics and collaborate effectively with hardware engineering teams
• Strong debugging and hardware interaction skills using embedded development and measurement tools
• Strong systematic and analytical thinking skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with IEC 61508, ISO 26262, or DO-178C environments
• Fluent English and German, preferably at C1/C2 level or above
• SIL2, functional safety, or equivalent safety-critical software development experience
• Exposure to drone, avionics, robotics, or autonomous systems development
• Experience working within regulated or high-reliability industries such as defense, aerospace, automotive, railway, industrial automation, or medical devices

We Offer

• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative environment
• Collaborative and high-energy team culture
• Competitive salary (details not provided)
• Potential for professional growth and development
