Freelance Embedded software engineer

About the role

We develop a complete software stack to interface with advanced hardware: from low‑level drivers, compilers, and assemblers written in C/C++, to higher‑level tools built in Python.

The challenge

Our algorithms are highly time‑critical and executed through a real‑time orchestration of hardware and software components in specialized electronics. At the same time, the high‑level software that translates scientific tasks into executable workflows should is not real‑time oriented. For this we maintain a middle‑layer that converts requests and parameters into deterministic actions within strict real‑time constraints.

What you’ll do

• Design and maintain a Linux‑based operating system for modules that control on‑board FPGAs.
• Develop and support kernel modules.
• Implement and operate an MQTT‑based mechanism for delivering and retrieving parameters to/from hardware.
• Integrate solutions into our CI environment.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, software, and test engineers across teams.

What you bring

• Multiple years of experience in a professional R&D environment, including:
• Linux programming interfaces.
• C.
• Linux build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot.
• Modern C++ (we use C++20).
• CMake as a modern C++ build system.
• Git for version control.

Nice to have

• Strong knowledge of the Yocto Project and experience with Linux driver development.
• Experience with GitLab CI.
• Basic knowledge of Python.
