About

With thousands of satellites in orbit providing critical services like telecommunications, geolocation, and meteorology, ensuring their safety and the long‑term sustainability of the space environment is at the core of our mission. Vyoma's vision is to build Europe's first sovereign space surveillance solution capable of mapping all centimetre‑scale space objects orbiting in low‑Earth orbit (LEO).
To achieve this, we are looking for an experienced Embedded Engineer to be the sole technical owner of the embedded software layer within our Payload On‑Board Computer (PLOBC) system. This role sits at the critical intersection between physical hardware — electronics and FPGAs — and the application software layer that operates the satellite payload. Without strong ownership here, neither side can function reliably or move quickly.
Key responsibilities As part of Vyoma you will:
Build, maintain, and evolve the Yocto‑based embedded Linux system for the PLOBC, including kernel‑level work, driver porting, HAL development, and cross‑compiling toolchain maintenance.
Own the embedded software architecture, ensuring it reflects the needs of the wider system and can be clearly communicated across the team.
Work closely with the FPGA engineer to develop and iterate on PS ↔ PL interfaces , and support hardware interface development (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and similar protocols).
Lead board bring‑up activities and actively debug hardware/software boundary issues using logic analysers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG.
Design and lead the embedded testing strategy, including unit, integration, HIL, and FlatSat testing — and build out CI/CD pipelines and automated testing infrastructure.
Drive standards alignment (CCSDS, ECSS) within the embedded domain from the start, not as an afterthought.
Own the low‑level application components that interact closely with hardware, and collaborate with the application software team on integration and design.
Proactively engage with adjacent teams to pull out system‑level understanding and requirements, rather than waiting for them to be handed over.
Your profile Important: Please only apply if you have a valid working permit in Germany (or the EU).
We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement listed below. Research shows that some people are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet all the criteria. If this role excites you and you meet most of the key qualifications, we would love to hear from you.
Hands‑on experience building and maintaining Yocto‑based embedded Linux systems — this is the core of the role.
Strong knowledge of the Linux kernel , driver development/porting, HAL, boot process, device trees, and BSP development.
Strong working knowledge of hardware communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, and similar) and working knowledge of FPGA‑related protocols (AXI, Avalon, Wishbone).
Practical experience with board bring‑up and hardware debug tools (oscilloscopes, logic analysers, JTAG).
Ability to read and interpret hardware schematics and datasheets independently.
Strong proficiency in C and C++ ; experience with Python for tooling, scripting, and test automation.
Understanding of RTOS concepts and bare‑metal programming , even if Linux is the primary environment.
Experience designing and implementing testing frameworks for embedded systems, including HIL or system‑level testing.
Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions with incomplete or evolving requirements .
At minimum 3+ years of experience , with the maturity to own the embedded domain fully as the sole embedded engineer.
Strong communication skills — able to translate embedded concepts clearly for application and FPGA engineers without assuming shared knowledge.
Adaptable and comfortable in a startup environment where priorities shift and roles are broader than a job description.
Nice‑to‑haves Experience with FPGA‑based SoCs , particularly Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, and PS ↔ PL interface development (AXI, DMA, etc.).
Background in aerospace or satellite systems development .
Knowledge of radiation effects on software systems and mitigation techniques.
Familiarity with space industry standards ( ECSS, CCSDS ).
Experience with or genuine enthusiasm to learn Rust for embedded development.
Experience building CI/CD pipelines for embedded software in resource‑constrained environments.
Experience contributing to application‑layer software beyond the embedded domain.
Experience mentoring junior engineers or providing technical direction on a team.
Why us? We nurture your growth. Our employees are key to the success of Vyoma, which is why we want you to grow fast and take on greater responsibility. We invest in your development while on the job.
Transparency. From recruitment to onboarding to a permanent position, you will always know where you stand — with a clear roadmap, timeline, goals, and expectations.
Accountability and Feedback. Open and direct communication is crucial to individual and team success. We encourage people to speak up and maintain flat hierarchies.
Your time is valuable. Work should not trump private life, which is why we offer 30 days of holidays, the possibility to work from home, and flexible working hours.
The perks. Effort should be compensated appropriately — we offer a competitive salary, a private pension plan, transportation allowances, 5 days of paid sick leave for childcare per year for all parents, and other benefits.
We are all social animals. We don't just work hard — we know how to have fun together during our weekly Happy Hours and Game Nights.
About us Vyoma is on a mission to solve one of the big issues humanity faces today: the problem of space debris threatening active satellites in orbit. We are building a fleet of space cameras to monitor such space debris. Together with our software suite, we build an accurate catalogue of space objects, automate satellite operations for our customers, and ultimately keep our orbits clean and safe.
We are a young and international team of aerospace engineers and software developers, backed by some of the top investors and venture capitalists in Germany. Our offices are located very centrally in Munich (Bonner Platz). Amongst others, you can expect a great (very international) team atmosphere, highly qualified colleagues, flexible working hours, remote/hybrid work, and a very exciting company vision.
