Embedded Software Engineer (microcontroller & connected devices)

Full‑time

Role

At Hive Robotics, we build reliable, connected embedded systems for autonomous and networked platforms. We are developing next‑generation connected devices and SDR‑based systems and are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to take ownership of low‑level ARM bring‑up, IP stack integration, bootloader design, and Linux‑based platform development (Zynq + PetaLinux).

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain embedded firmware for ARM‑based microcontrollers used in production hardware.
Integrate and configure RTOS environments (preferably Zephyr) and embedded TCP/IP stacks.
Design and implement secure bootloaders and reliable firmware update mechanisms over Ethernet/IP.
Bring up and customize Zynq‑based platforms using PetaLinux and Yocto.
Develop and debug low‑level Linux drivers and support hardware bring‑up.
Work with high‑speed ADC/DAC interfaces such as JESD and LVDS in FPGA/SoC‑based systems.
Contribute to next‑generation SDR platform development and system integration.
Establish software verification processes and CI/CD pipelines for embedded and Linux builds.
Support system‑level testing and troubleshooting in lab and field environments.
Define and enforce coding standards, documentation practices, and software quality guidelines to ensure reliable and maintainable firmware across the team.
Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and product teams to ensure robust system integration.
Support system‑level testing, validation, and troubleshooting in laboratory and field environments.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Proven experience delivering production‑grade embedded firmware.
Strong hands‑on experience with ARM Cortex‑M and/or Cortex‑A platforms.
Excellent C/C++ skills for embedded systems.
Experience with Zephyr OS (preferred) or other RTOS (FreeRTOS, ThreadX).
Strong understanding of embedded TCP/IP and Ethernet‑based communication.
Experience developing bootloaders and secure update mechanisms.
Experience with Zynq platform bring‑up.
Practical experience with PetaLinux and Yocto.
Experience writing or modifying low‑level Linux drivers.
Experience working with high‑speed interfaces such as JESD204 and LVDS in FPGA/SoC‑based systems.
Familiarity with secure communication (TLS, certificates).
Comfortable with JTAG/SWD debugging and hardware bring‑up.
Ability to work independently, take ownership of features, and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
Excellent communication skills in English; German is a plus.
Based in Munich or willing to relocate.
