Jobbeschreibung

Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d) AI & Rapid Prototyping

Location: Ditzingen, Germany

In Ditzingen, you will encounter security solutions for monitoring and safeguarding borders and for border controls, protection of civil and military facilities and tactical communication. This is the right place for you if you want to work with us on practical highly mobile radars for ground and coastal monitoring or night vision goggles and multifunctional heat imaging equipment. Join the Thales expert team for radar, optronic vision systems for armoured military vehicles or for protecting the field camps of the German Armed Forces. We are happy to have you on board!

Your mission as Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d): As Embedded Software Engineer for application software you develop the brain around our processing chain: the control and application layer that turns individual hardware and processing components into one coherent sensor demonstrator. You design clean interfaces, implement mode, resource and configuration management, and make sure the system is operable, observable and testable – from scheduling and health monitoring to data recording and the operator-facing API.

Qualifications

• Completed technical studies, e.g. in computer science or electronic engineering
• Strong modern C++ on Linux, including multithreading, inter-process communication and network programming
• Solid software architecture and design skills (component design, clean interfaces, design patterns)
• Experience with automated testing and CI/CD toolchains (e.g. GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins)
• Good Python scripting skills
• Containerization (Docker) and deployment automation advantageous
• Experience with soft‑real‑time or embedded systems advantageous
• Domain experience in sensor systems, automation or comparable data‑intensive products advantageous
• Radar knowledge advantageous
• Strong team and communication skills in a small, interdisciplinary prototyping team
• Analytical and structured way of thinking and working
• Self‑directed, proactive working style with a high level of ownership
• Precision and quality awareness, especially in verification and interface definition
• Pragmatic, hands‑on prototyping mindset – willingness to iterate fast and learn from hardware
• Willingness to travel for integration and measurement campaigns (~15%)
• Very good German and English skills

Will you be part of it? We look forward to your online application.
