Embedded Software Engineer

About the role:

• Permanent position
• Work location: Munich (hybrid)

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will design, develop, integrate, and test embedded software for cutting-edge aerospace and UAV platforms. Working closely with hardware and systems teams, you will take full ownership of embedded software functionality from initial design to flight-ready deployment. In this role, you will actively shape development practices, solve complex system-level challenges and deliver robust, production-grade embedded software.

Your responsibilities :

• Design, develop, integrate and test embedded software for aerospace and UAV systems, owning functionality from concept through deployment
• Integrate model-based generated code into the embedded software framework, ensuring performance, reliability and maintainability
• Develop and maintain low-level software and device drivers for internal avionics interfaces, including CAN, UART, RS485/232, Ethernet and other communication buses
• Develop and integrate embedded software for external communication links, including RF, satellite and LTE, supporting telemetry,commandand data exchange with ground and external systems
• Define and manage software interfaces across avionics, flight control,payloads and other onboard systems to support system-level integration
• Design, implement and maintain bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms, supporting secure, reliable software flashing and in-field updates
• Support CI/CD pipelines and HiL-based testing, contributing to automated build, test, integration and verification of embedded flight software

Your profile:

• Bachelor’s or Master’sdegree in Embedded Systems, Software Engineering, Electrical/Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
• Strong hands-on experience in embedded software development using C/C++ for real-time or resource-constrained systems
• Experience with RTOS or bare-metal environments, device drivers and embedded communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet)
• Proven experience in software integration, including model-based code integration and system-level testing (SIL/HiL)
• Experience with CI/CD practices for embedded software, including automated builds, testing, debugging, and version control
• Familiarity with aviation standards and certification processes (e.g., ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C) is a plus
• Independent, proactive, and technically curious, comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership of complex problems
• Strong communication skills and fluency in English
