About the role

  • Translate system requirements into robust embedded system architectures, including partitioning across MCU/FPGA/ASIC and software.
  • Select appropriate components (MCUs/SoCs, ADC/DACs, clocks, power supplies, 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 units for real-time acquisition, filtering, and processing of digital data streams.
  • Develop embedded software (C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS), including bootloaders, 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 throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Proven track record designing embedded architectures from requirements through to production.
  • Familiarity with MCU/SoC/SoM platforms, RTOS concepts, memory and clocking architectures, and low-level drivers.
  • Proficient with common buses/protocols and fundamentals of analog electronics.
  • Strong C/C++ skills; experience with scripting (Python) for testing and automation.
  • Experience integrating with FPGAs and reading hardware schematics and PCB layouts.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills; ability to lead design reviews and mentor team members.
  • Nice-to-have: embedded cybersecurity expertise (secure boot, key management, hardening).
  • Nice-to-have: space industry experience (radiation/thermal considerations, ECSS/NASA or DO- standards, environmental testing).
Benefits
  • Collaborative and innovative working environment in Vienna, a global hub for quantum research and space technology.
  • Opportunity to contribute to and help shape a rapidly growing company.
  • Work on projects and products at the exciting intersection of quantum and space technologies.
  • Flexible work arrangements with a hybrid model combining remote and on-site collaboration.
  • Chance to make a lasting impact on the future of quantum technologies.
  • Support for balanced work–life integration.
  • Attractive workplace with excellent infrastructure at Wienerberg.
  • Great Italian espresso.
  • Friendly and humorous work atmosphere.
