Join us as Principal Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d) and work with us on changing the future!

• Own the embedded software architecture of laser communication terminal controllers and lead its evolution toward multi-waveform operation.
• Define and maintain interface control documents (ICDs) between terminal software and external modem hardware, and drive alignment with technology partners.
• Design and implement new Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking (PAT) modes and operational state machines together with control systems engineers.
• Set the technical direction, coding standards, review process and verification strategy for embedded software.
• Lead hands-on bring-up and integration on target hardware with electronics, FPGA and control teams.
• Represent embedded software in design reviews and in technical meetings with customers and partners.
• Mentor engineers and build a strong embedded software capability in the team.

Required experience:

Minimum 10 years of hands-on professional experience in the field, including technical leadership.

• University degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Control Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 10 years of hands-on professional experience in real-time embedded C/C++, including at least 3 years with architecture responsibility for complex multiprocessor systems.
• Actively writes code and works on target hardware; not only a reviewing or management role.
• In-depth knowledge of real-time systems (RTOS, interrupts, DMA, caches, timers) and communication protocols (UART, SPI, CAN, Ethernet).
• Practical experience writing and negotiating ICDs and integrating software with third-party hardware and FPGAs.
• Experience with control loops, pointing/tracking or sensor-actuator systems; laser communication or PAT experience is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with software standards for space or safety-critical systems (e.g., ECSS-E-ST-40C, DO-178C) is a plus.
• Hands-on lab skills with logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers.
• Ability to lead, mentor and communicate complex topics clearly in multidisciplinary teams.
