We are looking for a Team Lead – Embedded Software Architect & Engineer (m/f/d). This role combines hands-on engineering with the responsibility to coordinate and drive delivery. You lead a team of embedded developers, ensure high-quality implementation of work packages, and make key architectural decisions. You are the bridge between strategic roadmaps, architecture, and daily delivery, shaping systems that are robust, safe, and efficient.

Your tasks:

Technical Leadership & Delivery

• Lead and mentor developers, fostering high code quality and technical excellence
• Plan, prioritize, and coordinate technical work packages, ensuring clarity and efficient execution
• Monitor project progress, velocity, and delivery quality
• Support skill development, knowledge sharing, and technical problem solving

Architectural Guidance

• Define and evolve architectures for TI Sitara™ (AM2x/AM6x)-based systems
• Make architectural decisions regarding task partitioning, core utilization (Cortex-A / Cortex-R), memory allocation, and modular design
• Ensure system architecture supports maintainability, performance, and safety standards (IEC 61508 / ISO 13849)

Hands-on Development

• Implement critical features in Embedded C
• Contribute directly to prototypes or complex components when needed
• Ensure integration of EtherCAT and optionally FSoE
• Apply best practices for real-time, resource-constrained systems (STM32 and Sitara platforms)

Stakeholder Communication

• Act as a technical point of contact for internal teams and customer engineers
• Provide data-driven reporting on progress, risks, and technical challenges

Your profile:

• Expert in Embedded C and system-level architecture, with proven experience on TI Sitara™ (AM2x/AM6x) and STM32 platforms
• Deep understanding of real-time, resource-constrained systems and safety-critical software development (IEC 61508 / ISO 13849)
• Strong experience with industrial communication protocols, particularly EtherCAT; FSoE experience is a plus
• Demonstrated experience in technical leadership and mentoring: able to guide, coordinate, and support developers in planning, execution, and problem-solving
• Skilled at coordinating work packages and technical tasks, ensuring clarity, feasibility, and timely delivery
• Able to make architectural decisions that balance performance, maintainability, and safety requirements
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, and prioritization skills, able to balance hands-on development with delivery responsibility
• Fluent in English; German highly advantageous
• Collaborative mindset, effective communicator with technical teams and stakeholders
• Willingness to travel

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
