Senior Embedded Systems Engineer (m/f/d)

As a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer, you are the bridge between our edge AI operating layer and the real-world hardware it runs on. You’ll work with a defined, proven system rather than starting from scratch, and help extend it with embedded agent and edge AI capabilities that let autonomous systems think and act on-device. In this role, you will:

• Deploy our Rust-based edge stack across drones, ground and maritime robots
• Build embedded agent and edge AI capabilities for low-power hardware
• Lead hardware bring-up and multi-sensor integration (IMUs, cameras, LiDAR)
• Support customer deployments and turn field feedback into improvements

Must have

• Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years work experience in a company
• Proficiency in Python and first experience deploying Rust in production
• Proven experience adapting and deploying embedded systems across diverse hardware targets and customer environments
• Deep experience with low-power edge compute as the primary control layer for autonomous or robotic systems
• Comfortable working with multi-sensor data (IMUs, cameras, LiDAR) and assessing hardware constraints quickly to make pragmatic adaptation decisions
• Prior experience in robotics, UAV, or aerospace contexts strongly preferred
• Excellent communication skills in English; German language skills are a plus.

Nice to have

• Deploying ML models on edge devices (e.g. ONNX, TensorRT)
• ROS 2, embedded Linux or real-time operating systems
• Edge AI platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson
• Protocols such as CAN, MAVLink, UART or SPI

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation
• Relocation support
• Individual learning budget
• Modern aerospace campus with an on-site canteen and gym
• Free beverages
• Lunch support
• Tax-free employee benefits
• Flexible working hours
• Regular remote work
• 30 days of vacation
