About the Role Together with you, we would like to achieve our goal. To strengthen our team we are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer C++ (m/f/d)
Responsibilities Requirements Engineering
Derive detailed technical requirements from upper-level product and system requirements
Use requirements as the authoritative basis for all development decisions; create concepts that make firmware dependencies and external interfaces visible, enabling the team to handle complexity in a controlled manner
Work closely with the Product Owner to discuss, align and refine requirements; challenge ambiguity early and ensure shared understanding of scope within the team
Design and maintain formal layered software architectures; apply architectural patterns consistently during implementation
Create solution concepts before implementation starts, evaluate options, assess trade-offs and align on the approach with the team
Create architectural concepts covering internal firmware dependencies and external system interfaces; present and discuss these with the team based on facts and technical reasoning
Embedded C++ Development
Develop C++ applications and system services under
embedded Linux
with clean architectural boundaries
Author and maintain Yocto recipes, layers, image configurations and SDK builds
Integrate protocols: RS485, Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN, SunSpec, MQTT, IEC 60870
Embedded Cybersecurity Development
Apply embedded cybersecurity concepts: secure boot, encrypted communication, minimal attack surface, key management
Contribute to a secure boot chain-of-trust strategy across bootloader, image integrity, and firmware update flowsIntegrate TLS-secured communication channels with backend services
Harden Linux embedded devices to minimize attack surfaces by applying least-privilege and zero-trust principles, while enabling authorized remote access
Design and maintain secure over-the-air firmware update mechanisms (package signing, artifact verification, and CI/CD integration)
Apply secure secrets provisioning and renewal flows in embedded devices
Participate in threat modeling and risk assessment for embedded attack surfaces
Monitor and remediate security vulnerabilities by performing CVE monitoring against SBOMs, including third-party dependencies
Quality & Collaboration
Write unit tests and contribute to test automation including co-development of hardware/software simulators for testing
Work effectively in a distributed remote team; use Git, CI/CD pipelines and communication tools proficiently
Participate actively in agile processes (Scrum); contribute to reviews, planning and retrospectives
Your Profile
Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or comparable; several years of embedded C++ (C++14/17/20/23) under Linux
Hands-on Yocto Project experience: custom layers, recipes, BitBake, cross-compilation
Proven hands-on experience to apply architectural patterns (e.g., layered architecture, blackboard, microservices) in production code
Experience deriving and managing requirements with formal methods and tools
Knowledge of energy-domain protocols (Modbus, SunSpec, MQTT)
Knowledge of embedded cybersecurity principles and hands-on experience with secure boot on NXP iMX(HAB), CAAM, dm-verity, RPM package signing and Linux device hardening in production environments
Experienced working in a software product team using Git and CI/CD; comfortable in a fully remote setup
Structured and precise, you communicate technical concepts clearly and ground every discussion in facts
AI-assisted development as part of a modern engineering workflow; hands-on experience is a plus, but a genuine interest and willingness to adopt these tools is essential
Fluent English (required); German is a strong advantage
