Senior Embedded Software Engineer

• 8+ years' experience working close to hardware in aerospace, defence, or similarly demanding systems
• Comfortable developing on Embedded Linux, RTOS, or bare-metal platforms, with a strong intuition for timing, determinism, and resource constraints
• Fluent in C and/or C++, with a focus on correctness, clarity, and long-term maintainability
• Enjoys debugging on real hardware, not just in simulation or abstraction layers
• Experienced collaborating tightly with electronics and avionics engineers, and shaping interfaces rather than just consuming them
• Pragmatic about tools, open to model-based development where it accelerates delivery without obscuring behaviour
• Curious about FPGA-adjacent workflows and comfortable interfacing with low-level logic when required
• Motivated by building flight-critical software in a small team where your code directly affects system behaviour
• Must be a EU/Nato/German citizen and eligible for German Security Clearance

Mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe's most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security

Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow

Culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly

• High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes
• Fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions
• Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy
