About the role

  • Translate system requirements into robust embedded system architectures, including partitioning across MCU/FPGA/ASIC and software.
  • Select suitable components (MCUs/SoCs, ADC/DACs, clocks, power, memories) and define interfaces to implement the architecture.
  • Design and integrate interfaces to digital (e.g. telemetry/telecommand buses) and analog (e.g. photodiodes) peripherals and components.
  • Develop high-throughput digital signal processing blocks for real-time acquisition, filtering, and processing of digital data streams.
  • Develop embedded software (C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS), including boot, drivers, middleware, and application logic.
  • Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, and optical engineering teams to deliver complex quantum-cryptography solutions.
  • Produce documentation: requirements, interface control documents, design specifications, and verification plans.
  • Establish quality practices: code reviews, static analysis, unit/integration testing, and CI for firmware.
  • Contribute to system security, reliability, EMC/EMI, and DfX considerations across the product lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Proven track record designing embedded architectures from requirements through to production
  • Knowledge of MCU/SoC/SoM platforms, RTOS concepts, memory and clocking, and low-level drivers
  • Fluency with common buses/protocols and analog fundamentals
  • Proficiency in C/C++; familiarity with scripting (Python) for test and automation
  • Experience integrating with FPGAs and reading hardware schematics/PCB layouts
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills; ability to lead design reviews and mentor others
  • Nice to have: Embedded cybersecurity expertise (secure boot, key management, hardening)
  • Space industry experience (radiation/thermal considerations, ECSS/NASA or DO- standards, environmental testing)
Benefits
  • Flexible work arrangements with a hybrid model combining remote and on-site collaboration
  • Collaborative and innovative environment in Vienna
  • Balanced work-life integration for our employees
  • Attractive workplace with excellent facilities at Wienerberg
  • Great Italian espresso
  • Humorous and friendly working atmosphere
