Software Engineer - Embedded Systems

About the role

As a Software Engineer – Embedded Systems you will design, develop, and port autonomous software modules across a range of system‑on‑chip platforms. You will join the fast‑growing autonomy team in Stuttgart, working closely with machine‑learning, vehicle‑applications, and vehicle‑OS engineers to bring up new embedded hardware and software.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and debug the autonomous stack on embedded compute platforms.
• Collaborate with machine‑learning engineers to optimise perception models for embedded performance.
• Interface with automotive middleware and communication protocols such as IPC, Ethernet, and DDS.
• Support vehicle operations, Software‑in‑the‑Loop (SIL) and Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) setups.
• Leverage AI‑accelerated development tools and workflows.

Required profile

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in C/C++ on POSIX and RTOS environments.
• Direct experience with automotive SoCs (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride or similar).
• Strong low‑level understanding of hardware accelerators including encoders, DSPs and GPUs.
• Deep knowledge of operating systems, specifically QNX and Linux.
• Hands‑on experience with microcontrollers, hardware debuggers and flashing interfaces.
