- Develop firmware platform components in C/C++ - reusable, well-abstracted building blocks used across instrument teams
- Keep the firmware architecture clean and maintainable - actively shape interfaces, abstractions, component boundaries, and technical concepts
- Drive architecture decisions within your area of responsibility and ensure implementations remain aligned with the overall platform architecture
- Investigate complex technical topics through technical spikes and prototypes, evaluate alternatives, and turn findings into concrete implementation proposals
- Plan technical work from epics to implementation tasks - analyze requirements, identify dependencies and risks, and break larger topics down into clear, actionable work items
- Take technical ownership of features and components from initial concept through implementation, testing, and integration
- Collaborate closely with other firmware developers and instrument teams, providing technical guidance and helping establish robust engineering solutions
- Contribute to engineering quality and continuous improvement, including testing, code reviews, tooling, and development practices
- Completed higher technical education (HTL, FH, TU), preferably with a focus on Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Several years of experience in embedded microcontroller firmware development
- A strong understanding of software and firmware architecture — you think in abstractions, clean interfaces, clear responsibilities, and testable designs
- The ability to structure complex technical problems, explore solution alternatives, and translate larger requirements or epics into concrete development tasks
- Proficiency in C, C++, RTOS concepts, and Python
- Excellent self-management — you take ownership of technical topics and drive them to completion
- A strong team player who communicates openly, supports teammates, and takes shared ownership of outcomes
The following qualifications would be additionally beneficial:
- Hands-on experience with Zephyr RTOS
- Experience designing platform, middleware, or reusable embedded software components
- Familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) in embedded contexts
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines for firmware projects
- Knowledge of static analysis, linting, and code quality tooling
- Experience conducting technical spikes, prototyping, or technology evaluations
- Experience contributing to architectural decisions across multiple components or products
- A reliable and long-term workplace in our expanding and international high-tech company
- An innovative company culture that promotes technical excellence guaranteeing us the position of a technological leader in the global market
- A value-oriented working environment that fosters friendly, supportive cooperation between colleagues and, at the same time, provides room for involvement, dedication and individual responsibility
- Individual training and onboarding
- Work Outside Office (occasion-related possibility to work outside the office)
- Voluntary flexibility allowance
- Professional and personal development
