Zusammenfassung

TYTAN Technologies GmbH seeks a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the Linux domain of the mission computer. You will work on a heterogeneous Arm SoC, delivering an embedded Linux platform, GNC and payload interfaces, and real-time IPC with the RTOS domain.

You will build a Yocto-based BSP, tune the kernel and device trees, and mentor team members. The role combines hands-on development with system hardening, secure boot, and CI for on-target testing in a hybrid Munich setting.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in CS/EE/Embedded Systems.
• 5+ years embedded Linux experience.
• Strong C/C++ skills; Python for tooling and test automation.
• Yocto or Buildroot experience (kernel/DT/driver).
• Camera/video pipelines knowledge (V4L2, GStreamer).
• Secure boot and signed updates experience is a plus.
• UAV flight stacks (PX4/ArduPilot) experience is a plus.
• English fluent; German beneficial.

Aufgaben

• Own the embedded Linux platform on the application cores (Yocto-based BSP, kernel config, device trees).
• Build onboard capability set: camera/video pipeline, vision blocks, telemetry, GNC interfaces.
• Implement Linux side IPC with real-time domain; health monitoring and time sync.
• Ensure fleet-readiness: secure boot, signed updates, system hardening, fast boot.
• Set up CI with on-target testing and hardware-in-the-loop rigs; support flight tests.

Jobbeschreibung

TYTAN Technologies

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty.

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the Linux domain of our next-generation mission computer. Our platform is built around a modern heterogeneous multi-core Arm SoC with separate application and real-time processing domains. You will build the embedded Linux platform on the application cores and deliver the onboard capabilities that our autonomy depends on — GNC, vision pipeline, telemetry, payload integration — working hand in hand with several in-house hardware and software teams.

Your Roadmap to Make an Impact

• Own the embedded Linux platform on the application cores of our next-generation mission computer: Yocto-based BSP, kernel configuration, device trees, board-specific drivers.

• Build the onboard capability set: camera and video pipeline, hardware-accelerated vision building blocks, telemetry, and clean integration interfaces for GNC and mission payloads.

• Implement the Linux side of the inter-processor communication with the real-time domain, including health monitoring, time synchronization and watchdog strategies.

• Make the platform fleet-ready: secure boot chain, signed image updates, system hardening, fast and deterministic boot.

• Set up CI with automated on-target testing and hardware-in-the-loop rigs; support integration and flight-test campaigns.

• Work closely with SoC vendor BSPs and our in-house hardware team during board bring-up and debugging.

• Mentor engineers across the team on Linux platform topics and establish maintainable platform practices.

• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable qualification.

• 5+ years of professional embedded Linux experience: Yocto or Buildroot, kernel and device-tree work, driver development and debugging on Arm SoCs.

• Strong C/C++ skills; Python for tooling and test automation.

• Hands-on experience with heterogeneous multi-core SoCs and enough RTOS understanding to design clean contracts with a real-time domain.

• Practical experience with camera/video pipelines (e.g. V4L2, GStreamer); ISP tuning and ML deployment on embedded accelerators (e.g. vendor NPU SDKs, TensorRT-class toolchains) are a strong plus.

• Experience with secure boot, signed updates and embedded security hardening is a strong plus.

• Experience with UAV flight stacks or companion-computer setups (e.g. PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink) is a plus.

• Comfortable in the lab: reading schematics, using scopes and analyzers during bring-up.

• A pragmatic platform thinker who takes ownership and builds for the long run.

• Fluent in English, German is beneficial.

Why TYTAN?

• Build technology with real operational impact: Develop autonomous defence systems designed to protect lives and strengthen Europe’s security

• Shape scalable defence capabilities: Work on solutions built for mass deployment, cost efficiency, resilience, and reliable production at scale

• Contribute to networked air defence: Help integrate our systems into multi-layered defence architectures alongside sensors, command systems, and effectors

• Develop for real-world operations: Build capabilities together with end users and improve them continuously based on direct operational feedback

• Move fast and take ownership: Work in a focused, high-performance team where decisions are made quickly and individual contributions have immediate impact

• Define a new generation of defence technology: Join early and help shape the products, engineering standards, culture, and direction of a fast-growing deep-tech company

• Work with an international mission-driven team: Collaborate with experienced specialists united by the goal of creating sovereign and effective security capabilities for Europe

Our Benefits

• Virtual stock options: Participate in our success through Virtual stock options (VSOPs) at the company's current valuation

• Monthly allowances: €106/month in flexible benefits including lunch discounts and EGYM Wellpass or shopping credit

• Regular health care events: Health check-ups, skin screenings, mental health workshops, and an annual vitamin infusion on us

• Referral bonus: Earn a reward when someone you refer joins the team
