Zusammenfassung

TYTAN Technologies GmbH is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own real-time software for our next-gen mission computer. You will port an open-source flight stack, bring up real-time domains, and implement inter-processor communication with Linux, while validating with SIL/HIL tests.

We value 5+ years in embedded C/C++, experience with RTOS, multi-core SoCs, and UAV flight stacks. Strong hardware collaboration and English skills are essential; German is a plus.

Qualifikationen

• Formal degree in CS/EE/EMBS or equivalent qualification.
• Minimum 5 years of professional embedded C/C++ development.
• Strong RTOS experience (NuttX/Zephyr/FreeRTOS) and board bring-up.
• Heterogeneous multi-core SoCs and inter-core communication knowledge.
• Familiar with UAV flight stacks and MAVLink, DroneCAN protocols.
• Experience with debugging tools (JTAG/SWD) and schematics.

Aufgaben

• Port and adapt an open-source flight stack to the real-time core of our mission computer.
• Own real-time bring-up: startup code, clocks, power states, and peripheral drivers (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN).
• Design inter-processor communication between real-time and Linux domains (RPMsg/OpenAMP).
• Integrate flight-critical buses and sensors across the avionics network.
• Drive verification: SIL/HIL tests, on-target tests, flight-log analysis with GNC engineers.
• Define coding, review and testing standards for flight-critical firmware.
• Collaborate with hardware team on schematics reviews and board bring-up.

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 real-time 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 bring an open-source flight stack to life on the real-time core, take the platform from first boot to flight test, and set the standard for flight-critical firmware at TYTAN - working hand in hand with our in-house electronics and hardware team.

Your roadmap to make an impact Port and adapt an open-source flight stack to the real-time core of our next-generation mission computer, from bootloader to flight test. Own real-time-domain bring-up: startup code, clocking and power states, peripheral drivers (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN), watchdogs and fault handling Design and implement the inter-processor communication between the real-time and Linux domains: transports, message contracts, time synchronization, degradation behavior. Integrate flight-critical buses and sensor peripherals across the vehicle's avionics network. Drive verification from day one: SIL/HIL test setups, automated on-target tests, flight-log analysis together with our GNC and flight-test engineers. Define coding, review and testing standards for flight-critical firmware (static analysis, CI, traceability). Work closely with our in-house hardware team: review schematics and pin multiplexing from the firmware perspective, support board bring-up and debugging in the lab.

Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable qualification. 5+ years of professional embedded C/C++ development. Strong real-time operating system experience (e.g. NuttX, Zephyr, FreeRTOS), including board bring-up on new silicon. Hands-on experience with heterogeneous multi-core SoCs and asymmetric multiprocessing (e.g. RPMsg / OpenAMP or comparable inter-core mechanisms). Solid knowledge of embedded buses and protocols: CAN / CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I2C. Experience with UAV flight stacks (e.g. PX4, ArduPilot) and related protocols (e.g. MAVLink, DroneCAN) is a strong plus. Confident with JTAG/SWD debuggers, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes; able to read schematics and work at the hardware/software boundary. A structured, safety-minded engineer who takes ownership from requirements to flight test - Fluent in English, German is beneficial.
