Senior Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential robotics organization in Munich seeking a Senior Software Engineer to take technical ownership of their real-time embedded platform. In this role, you will:

• Design and implement deterministic real-time platform software on Embedded Linux using C++17/20 for ARM and x86 architectures
• Develop low-level drivers for EtherCAT and serial protocols as part of a deterministic control platform supporting model-based control and learning policies
• Develop firmware for EtherCAT-based robotic devices
• Drive platform development on ARM-based SOC, including participation in carrier board design and hardware bring-up
• Optimize real-time system performance using PREEMPT_RT, CPU isolation, scheduler policies, and priority tuning
• Develop robotics middleware using publish/subscribe and server/client architectures
• Act as a technical owner for the robotics platform—driving architecture decisions and cross-component system integration
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines including automated package management and release workflows
• Collaborate with robotics software, hardware, and control teams on system-level integration

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of professional embedded software development experience in robotics or industrial systems
• Proficient in C++17/20 for embedded and real-time targets
• Strong experience with Embedded Linux and PREEMPT_RT real-time optimization
• Hands-on experience with EtherCAT and serial communication protocols
• Experience with ARM and x86 architectures; familiarity with Nvidia Jetson platforms
