Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer — Munich (Onsite, full time)

We're not hiring for a box. We're hiring for exceptional.

What we offer is one of the most exciting, but challengin engineering environments out there. It is fast-paced, hyper-collaborative environment working within a defence-tech startup.

They are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven. What you build is consequential on the future of NATO Defence.

We're looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join us onsite in Munich.

The role

You'll be working close to hardware on flight and ground systems writing real-time software on Embedded Linux, RTOS, and bare-metal platforms. You'll own low-level drivers, middleware, and avionics interfaces, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with electronics and systems engineers.

This means C and C++ written to a high standard, debugging on real hardware, bring-up, fault isolation, and performance tuning. Where it accelerates delivery, you'll use model-based tools like MATLAB/Simulink.

Who we're looking for

• 3+ years developing embedded software close to hardware in aerospace, defence, or an equivalently demanding domain
• Strong instincts for timing, determinism, and resource constraints on RTOS, Embedded Linux, or bare-metal
• Fluent in C and/or C++, with a focus on correctness and long-term maintainability
• Comfortable debugging on real hardware - not just in simulation
• Used to working tightly with electronics and avionics engineers, shaping interfaces rather than just consuming them
• Motivated by small-team, flight-critical work where your code directly affects system behaviour

If this feels like a strong fit or if you bring something exceptional that doesn't fit neatly into the description we'd love to hear from you.

This is an onsite role. They are big belivers in having the most collaborative way of woring that happens in office, but you arent doing it just for them - equity is offered so you are part of the journey!
