Job Overview
We develop low-level software for complex embedded systems. Precision, stability, predictability and code quality matter here. We need someone who understands C++, embedded development, hardware communication and the reality of working close to the hardware.
This is not a role for someone who wants to write only application-level logic. Here, you will deal with drivers, RTOS, hardware communication, testing, requirements analysis, safety and production-grade quality.
What You Will Build
- Low-level embedded components in C++.
- Drivers and integration layers for hardware platforms.
- Communication modules using I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, Ethernet or similar interfaces.
- Components running in RTOS or embedded Linux environments.
- Unit tests, integration tests and validation automation.
- Solutions for multi-core and high-reliability systems.
- Code aligned with security, quality and static analysis practices.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement low-level C++ components.
- Develop and integrate drivers delivered by internal teams or suppliers.
- Analyze requirements, architecture and hardware platform constraints.
- Create unit and integration tests.
- Debug issues at the hardware/software boundary.
- Review code, documentation, tests and technical requirements.
- Collaborate with hardware, QA, safety, security and system engineering teams.
- Ensure alignment with quality practices and static analysis standards.
- Improve development, testing and diagnostics processes.
Technology Stack
Languages

Requirements
- At least 5 years of embedded software development experience.
- Strong modern C++ skills.
- Experience creating firmware, drivers or low-level components.
- Understanding of RTOS and embedded OS concepts.
- Knowledge of communication buses: I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, Ethernet or similar.
- Experience with multi-core systems.
- Practice with C++ testing: gtest, gmock or similar.
- Ability to debug low-level issues.
- English suitable for work in an international team.
Nice to Have
- AUTOSAR or similar embedded standards.
- ARM, TriCore, POSIX.
- MISRA, CERT, static analysis.
- Python and PyTest.
- Hardware-in-the-loop experience.
- Knowledge of safety/security standards for embedded systems.
- Experience with high-reliability systems.
What We Offer
- Remote-first setup with onsite presence when it makes technical sense.
- Work on real low-level engineering, not just library integration.
- Participation in decisions about firmware architecture and quality standards.
- Access to tools, test environments and hardware.
- Budget for technical training, certifications and conferences.
- Private medical care and benefits package.
- Focused recruitment process based on technical discussion.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who understands that embedded engineering is about constraints: time, memory, hardware, safety and reliability.
If you enjoy solving problems that cannot be fixed by restarting a container, we should talk.
