Embedded Software Engineer

Software Engineer – Embedded Platforms

I’m supporting a fast-growing European space technology company that is looking for a Embedded Software Engineer to join their satellite software team.

This is a hands-on software engineering role focused on building reliable application-layer software running on an embedded Linux platform. You’ll work on services, data pipelines, communication between system components, protocol-level software, automated testing, and CI/CD tooling.

This role would suit someone who enjoys writing clean, well-tested software and wants to work close to real hardware without being purely low-level embedded.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building application software on embedded Linux
• Developing services, system-level applications and data pipelines
• Implementing communication between software components
• Supporting automated testing and CI/CD tooling
• Working with hardware-connected systems and embedded engineers
• Supporting protocol-level software for space/embedded systems

What we’re looking for:

• Strong C, C++ or similar systems programming experience
• Linux application software experience
• Python for scripting, tooling or testing
• Experience with testing, automation or CI/CD
• Interest in working close to hardware
• Bonus: Rust, Yocto, Zynq/Xilinx, CCSDS, ECSS, SpaceWire, HIL testing, aerospace or satellite experience

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work on real space technology and grow further into embedded platforms, hardware/software integration and mission-critical software.

If this sounds relevant, feel free to reach out for more details.
