Firmware Developer (UAV/Robotics)

Why This Role Exists

Our customer is advancing the capabilities of high-precision optical and radar systems for mission-critical surveillance. As a Firmware Developer, you will be the technical lead for embedded software, bridging the gap between hardware architecture and high-level system logic. This is a key role in developing the next generation of their FPV and unmanned aircraft and detection platforms.

What You'll Drive

• Architect and implement low-level firmware in C/C++ for ARM-based microcontrollers.
• Develop and optimize drivers for high-speed data acquisition from optical and radar sensors.
• Ensure system reliability by implementing real-time data processing algorithms with strict latency requirements.
• Collaborate on hardware design by providing firmware requirements for new PCB iterations and PHY architectures.
• Maintain code integrity through rigorous unit testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and structured code reviews.
• Support production scaling by developing specialized firmware for automated manufacturing and calibration tests.
  
  
  

Who You Are

• Embedded Specialist: Proven experience in hardware-near development, specifically with ARM Cortex-M or similar architectures
• Language Expert: Mastery of C and C++ for resource-constrained environments
• Hardware Literate: Comfortable reading schematics and using lab equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for debugging
• Protocol Proficient: Deep understanding of communication standards, including SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet/UDP
• Quality Minded: Experience with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS) and a disciplined approach to version control (Git) and documentation
  
  
  

How You'll Work

You will work within the R&D department in Mārupe, reporting directly to the Head of Engineering. The team operates in an agile, hardware-focused environment where software and mechanical engineers collaborate daily.

You will have high autonomy over firmware architecture decisions and will be expected to mentor junior developers as the team grows.

What You'll Get

• Salary: €4,000 – €6,000 gross per month
• Benefits: Modern office in Mārupe and high-end hardware development equipment, health benefits from day 1
• Work mode: Hybrid with flexible hours
  
  
  

What Happens Next

The process starts with a screen with our recruiter, followed by a hands-on technical interview at our client's office in Mārupe to discuss hardware-level challenges.

We aim to move from first contact to offer within 14 days.
