Job Senior Embedded Software Engineer,Jobs München Bayern,Stellenangebote in Deutschland,Software Entwicklung,Jackalope Digital LLC

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building innovative aerospace technologies that advance the future of space transportation.

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with deep expertise in low-level platform bring-up and RT-OS tailoring for embedded real-time applications. You will own the full software stack from boot loader, BSP, OS, and application. You will establish and maintain the toolchain and CI infrastructure that underpins our embedded platforms development.

You are comfortable owning the entire platform software stack independently. You have brought up a (safety critical) MCU from scratch, debugged obscure failures with a debug probe (e.g. JTAG), serial console, logic analyser, or oscilloscope. You instinctively collaborate closely with the hardware team on the platform design and with the application stakeholders on requirements.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, your role and responsibilities will continuously evolve. Your initial duties include to:

Bring-up the RTOS and develop the BSP for ARM Cortex-M cores, including MPU configuration and inter-core communication

Develop, test and maintain an extensive set of MCU drivers to fulfil application's needs (ADC, SPI, Clock and more)

Develop complete communication stack, validate its integration in host system

Develop drivers for complex ICs

Integration test MCU and FPGA interfaces

Set-up toolchain and CI for the MCU and wider embedded platform (HiL, automated test equipment control...)

Own design documentation and validate requirements

Coordinate with all disciplines working on a unit (electronics design engineers, system engineers, test team, EGSE team)

Continuous learning: stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and advancements in avionics design

What we would love to see from you

In the role of Senior Embedded Software Developer ideally, you will have the following:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
Strong background in embedded C / C++ coding
RTOS bring-up experience on Cortex-M cores (ThreadX / Azure RTOS, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or equivalent)
Hands‑on experience in firmware development and platform bring‑up
Hands‑on experience in various communication protocols/stacks (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet IP/TCP).
Knowledge of safety‑critical design principles
Familiarity with Reliability, Availability, Maintainability & Safety (RAMS) aspects
Strong verbal and written communication skills. Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams (hardware engineers, test engineers, EGSE engineers, etc.)
Meticulous attention to detail in design, analysis, and documentation
Hands on mentality at testing and problem debugging in laboratory
Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for embedded hardware targets is a plus
Experience with TSN is a plus
Experience with FPGA and VHDL language is a plus
Experience with python and bash is a plus
Understanding of space relevant standards (like ECSS, MIL-STD, NASA-HBK) and regulations is a plus
Awareness of functional safety standards (ISO 26262, DO-178C, or similar) and their implications for the software stack is a plus
