Team Lead - Firmware Engineering (Rust & C) (m/f/d)

Your daily workout

We are looking for a Firmware Team Lead (m/f/d) to spearhead a newly formed squad within our Machine Infrastructure domain in Munich. As we evolve our fleet of smart strength-training equipment, you will be the driving force behind our transition to Rust on Zephyr, ensuring our machines remain the safest and most intelligent on the gym floor. You will balance technical excellence with a "people-first" leadership philosophy, building a high-performing team that lives and breathes Radical Candor.

Ready to lead the transition to Rust and shape the future of connected fitness? Apply now and help us build the next generation of intelligent training equipment.

You will split your energy between building a world-class team (40%) and architecting the future of our firmware (60%).

The People Lead (40%)

You own the growth of your engineers. You'll lead 1:1s, facilitate career development, and act as a "Rust Magnet" to attract top-tier talent. You'll coordinate training for our seasoned C developers as they transition into the Rust ecosystem

The Process Architect

You don't just write code; you improve how code is written. You'll prioritize automated tooling and CI/CD enhancements to make the developer experience seamless

The Technical Evangelist

You work closely with the Head of Engineering and Principal Engineer, you will define the vision for C/Rust integration. You'll be the hands-on expert navigating the no-std world and Zephyr RTOS

The Collaborator

You are the bridge to our hardware team, meeting at least weekly to ensure software and silicon are in perfect harmony

The Lean Thinker

You aren't a Scrum Master, but you understand the "why" behind the board. You'll manage the Kanban flow and occasionally lead retrospectives to keep the team's momentum high.
