Embedded Software Engineer C++

Are you passionate about solving complex technical challenges where every byte of memory matters?

As an Embedded Software Engineer C++, you will join an experienced team focused on developing deeply embedded firmware for our next generation of hearing devices (medical devices).

This is an opportunity to apply your deep C++ expertise in embedded development. You will work close to the hardware, navigate complex, state-of-the-art development and test environments, and solve challenging problems across the boundaries of software, tooling and hardware.

More about the role

• Develop object-oriented embedded software in modern C++ for resource-constrained wireless hearing devices.
• Contribute to the design and architecture of new functionality, working closely with software architects and interdisciplinary platform teams.
• Develop, document, test, integrate and maintain software throughout the development lifecycle, while ensuring appropriate test coverage and reliable system behavior.
• Debug complex issues directly on target hardware and in simulators.
• Work within state-of-the-art development, build and test environments and contribute to their continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across mobile and desktop software, firmware, verification and requirements engineering to bring new hearing solutions from concept to product.

More about you

• You have excellent embedded software C++ development know-how, including operating systems, concurrency, communication, distributed systems, and object-oriented design, combined with 5+ years of professional experience.
• You have developed software for highly resource-constrained systems, with limited memory and battery power.
• You are skilled in debugging and comfortable investigating complex issues on actual hardware, including situations where the root cause may lie in software, hardware or the development environment.
• You are familiar with modern embedded software engineering practices and development environments and continuous integration. Knowledge of Python, C#, test frameworks or related tooling is an advantage.
• You hold a university degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, the natural sciences, or a comparable technical discipline and communicate confidently in English; knowledge of German is a plus.
