Senior Firmware Developer

InTJKDJDIBK

Apply for this position and join us in building Europe’s next generation infrastructure.

Our values are rooted in responsibility, readiness, and long term thinking. We believe sovereignty must be designed into systems from the start. Readiness is achieved through capability, not procurement. Autonomy is infrastructure, not a feature. We build with the understanding that modern systems carry long term consequences. That is why we prioritise reliability over novelty, integration over isolation, and sustained capability over short term advantage.

Position

Role Overview

Reports to: TBC

Our Middle Firmware Developer role focus on designing and implementing low-level software running on microcontrollers under low-resource-consumption constraints, designated for controlling real-time processes and signal processing. The Middle Firmware Developer works under the mentorship and supervision of senior engineers and system architects, progressively taking on more independent responsibilities as they grow in the role.

‍

Key Responsibilities

• Implement Firmware Level Requirements derived from system-level specifications under the guidance of senior engineers and system architects.
• Analyze and adapt existing software (internally developed or open source) to meet project requirements, with support from senior team members.
• Develop bare-metal software code including service components (bootloaders, etc.) and application-level real-time software (control state machines, signal processing blocks, timing/waveform generators).
• Write unit tests and participate in SITL and HIL test procedures; support firmware validation prior to release.
• Debug low-level software in cooperation with Electronic Engineers (PCB Designers) using lab equipment.
• Participate in code reviews, maintain version control practices, and contribute to project documentation suitable for safety-critical audits.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation for assigned modules and components.
