Senior Embedded Linux Engineer (Softwareentwickler/in)

Role OverviewAs our Senior Embedded Linux Engineer, you own the Linux platform on our radar sensor nodes: hardware bring-up on custom PCBs, production firmware, secure OTA updates, and long-term maintenance. You work with the hardware, radar signal processing, AI, and cloud engineers, and you set the embedded software architecture as the sensor platform scales.Key Responsibilities- Lead embedded Linux bring-up on custom ARM-based hardware platforms- Develop and maintain Yocto-based Linux distributions and BSPs including bootloaders, kernel configuration, device trees, and peripheral drivers- Design and implement secure device platforms, including secure boot, firmware signing, and robust OTA update mechanisms with rollback support- Design debugging, logging, and remote diagnostics infrastructure- Work with the team to design reproducible build environments and CI/CD pipelines for embedded software development- Define embedded software architecture and provide technical leadership, driving best practices and mentoring engineers as the team growsRequired Qualifications- 7+ years of hands-on embedded Linux development experience (a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is welcome, though equivalent practical experience counts just as much)- Strong expertise with the Yocto Project and Linux BSP development on ARM Cortex-A based systems- Solid C skills, plus working proficiency in at least one of Python, C++, or Rust- Knowledge of embedded Linux security: secure boot, firmware signing, and system hardening- Experience with Git, CI/CD, and reproducible software builds- Ability to debug hardware/software interactions using laboratory equipmentNice to Have- Experience with radar systems, RF engineering, DSP, or signal processing- Experience with heterogeneous SoCs combining Linux and RTOS environments- Familiarity with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar RTOS- Contributions to open-source projects (Linux Kernel, Yocto, U-Boot, RAUC, SWUpdate, Mender)- Experience mentoring engineers and growing technical teams- German language skills are beneficial but not requiredErgänzende Informationen:Anforderungen an den Bewerber: Erweiterte Kenntnisse: Embedded Microcontroller, Programmiersprache Python, Programmiersprache Rust, Programmiersprache C++, Softwaretechnik, Software-Engineering, Embedded Systems, Versionsverwaltungsprogramm Git, CI/CD-PipelinesExpertenkenntnisse: SoftwaredesignZwingend erforderlich: Betriebssystem Embedded Linux
