Welcome to Neuron Automation – with over 30 years of experience, we are experts in efficient and future-proof solutions for a connected industry. With our product portfolio, our customers shorten development times, reduce costs, and benefit from maximum flexibility with our pre-certified Safety Kit. Tailored to individual requirements, we offer modular and scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing systems.

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to strengthen our development team working on industrial safety controllers and customer-specific embedded platforms.

Our systems are based on ARM multicore processors such as TI Sitara, combined with STM32-based control and supervision functions. The software includes low-level hardware integration, safety-related I/O handling, communication protocols, diagnostics, boot/update functionality and PLC runtime integration.

Your responsibilities

• Design, implement and maintain embedded software in C
• Develop hardware-near software on ARM MCU/MPU platforms
• Work in multicore embedded environments with safety and non-safety functions
• Refine software requirements and create detailed software designs
• Implement and maintain module/unit tests
• Perform target integration, debugging and hardware testing
• Develop and integrate embedded and industrial communication interfaces
• Analyze and solve timing, performance and hardware/software integration issues
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to software quality
• Maintain technical documentation and requirement traceability
• Collaborate with software, hardware and system engineers

Your profile

• 5+ years of professional experience in embedded software development
• Strong programming skills in Embedded C and hands-on experience with hardware-related, low-level development
• Solid knowledge of ARM-based MCU/MPU architectures
• Experience across the full software development lifecycle – from requirements and detailed design to implementation, testing and verification
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills directly on target hardware
• Experience with industrial communication protocols
• Ideally, experience in functional safety software development
• Fluent English and strong communication skills

Additional experience we value

• TI Sitara processors and TI Processor SDK
• EtherCAT and FSoE
• Functional safety standards such as IEC 61508 or ISO 13849
• Multicore and safety-related software architectures
• STM32 development
• Bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms
• Low-level interfaces such as UART, SPI, I²C and Ethernet

What we offer:

• A motivated, hands-on team with short decision-making paths
• Attractive, performance-based compensation
• Opportunities for personal and professional development
• Open, respectful collaboration at eye level
• Strong teamwork within a steadily growing company
• Modern working environment with innovative technologies
• Flexible working conditions and a healthy work-life balance
