Embedded Software Engineer (m/w/d) for Satellite Avionics

Responsibilities

• Contribute to Rust-based software architectures for satellite flight software.
• Develop safety- and security-relevant components in Rust.
• Reconcile modern software engineering practices (testing, tooling, CI, static analysis) with ECSS standards.
• Implement multicore concepts productively (e.g., partitioning, determinism, scheduling strategies).
• Implement highly reliable communication paths (MIL-STD-1553/MILBUS, CAN, Ethernet, serial interfaces).
• Bring flight software into space.

Requirements

Must have:

• Solid embedded background: Software development in resource-constrained/RT contexts.
• Rust experience (practical projects or production) and a desire to make Rust productive in a safety context.
• Understanding of real-time, concurrency, and deterministic behavior on multicore processors/MPSoCs.
• Experience with RTOS (RTEMS, VxWorks) or Embedded Linux.
• Familiarity with software quality in regulated environments (e.g., ECSS processes, reviews, tests, evidence).
• Very good German and English skills.
• High quality awareness as well as strong team and communication skills combined with enthusiasm for one's own work.

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of LEON (GR712/GR740), Zynq 7000, ideally first RISC V contact.
• Experience with safety/security mechanisms (e.g., robust APIs, memory safety, FMEA/FTA thinking).
• Experience with static analysis/fuzzing/property-based testing (C and/or Rust).
• Knowledge of typical space protocols and bus systems.
• Contribution to open source or internal tech guidelines -- you like to raise standards.
