Electronics Software Engineer

Education: Degree in Electronics, Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Experience: 5+ years (senior) in embedded Linux or low-level systems software.

• Advanced level of Python.

• Solid Linux fundamentals from a systems perspective: processes, services, filesystems, permissions, logging and networking.

• Embedded Linux build systems, cross-compilation, image and rootfs customisation.

• Working knowledge of BSP, device tree and kernel configuration, compilation and modules.

• Understanding of the boot chain of an embedded target.

• Proficiency in C to work with kernel-side code and drivers when needed.

• Communication protocols from the operating system side: buses and network interfaces.

• Debugging on target: serial console, system logs, and the usual tracing and debugging tooling.

• Git workflows, code review and software testing practices.

• Experience with Rust (highly valued).

• Writing or upstreaming Linux kernel drivers.

• Experience on SoC platforms combining a processing system with programmable logic (FPGA).

• Real-time Linux, latency and determinism analysis.

• Containers on embedded targets, OTA updates, secure boot and image signing.

• CI/CD for embedded targets, including hardware-in-the-loop test benches.

• TDD/BDD frameworks and software design patterns.

• Hardware validation using lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyser).

• Git portfolio and/or open-source contributions.

• Prior experience in photonics or optical systems.

• Experience in hardware validation using lab equipment.

• Soft Skills: Team player, continuous learner, communicative, adaptable, problem-solving oriented, with ownership of the platform they maintain.

  What we offer:

  • Permanent full-time position

  • Flexible working hours

  • December 24th and 31st off

  • One extra day off during your birthday month

  • Private health insurance

  • Pension plan included

  • Flexible compensation plan (restaurant tickets, transport, and childcare vouchers)

  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge photonic technologies for AI infrastructure

The Electronics Software Engineer will be involved in the following responsibilities:

• Design and develop the software layers and services that expose the physical devices of the system to higher-level applications.

• Own the embedded Linux platform: image and BSP maintenance, kernel configuration and build, device tree description of the board, and root filesystem generation.

• Maintain and troubleshoot the boot flow of the target, from the first stage after power-on through the bootloader to a fully running system.

• Bring up new board peripherals and create, port, or modify drivers when standard support is not available.

• Implement and maintain the communication with the physical devices, inside the board and towards external equipment.

• Testing, profiling and performance analysis of the software developed, running on real hardware.

• Collaborate with the electronics, FPGA, photonics and application teams to understand the subsystems controlled by the core software layer.
