European Tech Recruit are working closely with an exciting security semicon start-up, based in Amsterdam, who are looking for a Embedded Systems Engineer to join their team.

In this role you will develop and optimize low-level system software for advanced processor chipsets. You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, contributing to all phases of embedded software development, from bootloaders and device drivers to OS bring-up and hardware integration.

Responsibilities as Embedded Systems Engineer:

• Develop and maintain Linux system initialization code, bootloaders (including U-Boot), and device drivers for next-generation embedded platforms.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware, optimizing for performance, power, and reliability.
• Design and implement low-level system software for embedded and real-time systems, including firmware and kernel components.
• Define hardware-software interface specifications and contribute to the development of software architecture and product roadmaps.
• Investigate and debug complex system-level issues, including hardware/software integration problems.
• Build and maintain the complete software stack, including operating systems, drivers, firmware, and supporting libraries.
• Optimize software for system performance, security, and stability.
• Contribute to hardware-software co-design reviews and collaborate on architectural decisions.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong expertise in bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot) and device driver development for embedded platforms.
• Demonstrated experience with OS bring-up, chip bring-up, and emulation environments.
• Proven background in hardware-software integration, working hands-on with hardware development teams.
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving abilities, particularly in low-level and system-level software.
• Track record of delivering robust and performant system software to customers or internal teams.
• Proficiency in C, C++, and/or Rust, along with experience in low-level programming and assembly.
• Deep understanding of Linux kernel internals and experience with kernel and device driver development.
