About the role

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Zühlke, collaborate on innovative software solutions for diverse industries. Engage in programming, requirements engineering, and direct client communication in an agile environment.

Responsibilities

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will work with interdisciplinary teams and experience how technology and team spirit create innovative solutions.
You will collaborate closely with clients to develop, test, and deliver products that meet their needs.
At Zühlke, you’ll work across a wide range of systems, competencies, technologies, and industries.
Alongside modern C++ and C, we also use technologies like Rust, Embedded Linux, and Zephyr OS.
Programming is just one part of the job — requirements engineering, architecture, testing, documentation, and DevOps are equally important.
You ensure that good engineering practices are applied in daily work.
As a part of an agile team, you will develop products, embedded software architectures or automation pipelines, creating high-quality solutions that meet customer requirements.
You pay attention to a clean structure, good performance and sensible test coverage.
You communicate directly with customers in the projects.
You propose technical innovations, methods and principles that could be implemented on a project.
You support other colleagues in your project and across projects.

You have a strong university degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field — or an equivalent professional qualification.
You are passionate about high-quality software.
For you, requirements, design patterns, efficient data structures, unit tests, and documentation are just as important as writing great code.
The conscious use of resources and the real-time behavior of your software matter to you.
That's why C and C++ are part of your toolkit.
You bring first hands-on experience with operating systems like Linux or an RTOS.
Experience with Rust? That’s a plus.
Experience with programming GPUs or NPUs? Another plus.
You are communicative, open-minded, and confident in making decisions.
You are driven by curiosity, passionate about learning and sharing knowledge, and believe that great solutions are built through collaboration.
You are fluent in English and German, both written and spoken.
