Senior Embedded Linux Engineer

This role is for engineers who like working close to the hardware and care about building systems that run reliably in the real world.

You’ll develop and maintain embedded Linux software that runs inside a complex robotics platform moving from prototype to production. The work is hands-on, technically demanding, and tied directly to physical systems, not simulations or research-only code.

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux software running on real hardware
• Work closely with robotics, electrical, and systems engineers
• Bring systems from prototype through integration and into production
• Debug complex issues across kernel, drivers, networking, and applications
• Participate hands-on in system integration and testing
• Contribute to an iterative, engineering-led environment solving real-world problems

• Strong experience with embedded Linux development
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Solid skills in C / C++, with working knowledge of Python and Shell

• Cross-compilation, packaging, and dependency management
• Linux kernel configuration, drivers, and build systems (Yocto / Buildroot)
• Experience working with hardware interfaces (SPI, UART, I2C)
• Familiarity with industrial protocols such as CAN or EtherCAT
• Experience debugging distributed and networked systems
• Comfortable integrating embedded software into CI/CD pipelines

• NVIDIA Jetson platforms
• Embedded security (secure boot, signing, encrypted file systems)
• Exposure to safety or compliance standards in embedded systems

• Real robots, real constraints, real ownership
• Technically deep work with visible impact
• Close collaboration across disciplines
• Strong engineering culture without academic fluff
• Based in Zurich with a collaborative, international
