Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d) – Bare-Metal & C 1110-640

🚀 Build the software that controls the next generation of precision lithography.

Join a renowned global technology company developing highly sophisticated systems for the semiconductor industry. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will work at the intersection of low-level software, electronics and precision engineering , developing reliable control software for systems where every microsecond and every line of code can matter.

If you enjoy working close to the hardware, solving complex technical problems in C and turning demanding system requirements into robust embedded solutions, this is an opportunity to make a direct contribution to next-generation lithography technology.

## Your Role

• •Develop embedded control software for next-generation lithography systems
• •Design and implement bare-metal software in C for high-performance embedded controllers
• •Work closely with hardware, electronics and system engineers to develop and integrate reliable control solutions
• •Contribute to embedded Linux-based software components where required
• •Translate system and software requirements into robust, maintainable technical solutions
• •Contribute to software architecture and technical design decisions
• •Analyze runtime behavior, system interactions and edge cases to ensure reliable system performance
• •Develop and improve test and verification infrastructure , including automated testing
• •Use Python for test automation and development support where appropriate
• •Support the complete software lifecycle — from requirements and design through implementation, integration and verification
• •Work in an agile, highly specialized and interdisciplinary engineering team

## Your Profile

• •Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Control/Automation Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a comparable technical field
• •Strong and recent hands-on experience in professional C software development for bare-metal or embedded systems
• •Solid understanding of low-level embedded software concepts , including memory management, interrupts, peripherals and hardware-related programming
• •Practical experience with machine-oriented software development , embedded Linux and/or real-time environments
• •Initial experience with software architecture, technical design and engineering decision-making
• •Strong understanding of software design principles and the ability to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
• •Ability to analyze runtime behavior, system interactions and complex edge cases
• •Experience with Python and automated testing is an advantage
• •Knowledge of FPGA technologies or VHDL is a plus
• •Strong analytical and problem-solving skills combined with a structured and pragmatic approach
• •Ability to communicate clearly and effectively in interdisciplinary engineering teams
• •Very good English skills ; German language skills are an advantage

## What makes this role interesting

You will not be working on software in isolation. Your code will interact directly with real hardware and highly precise mechatronic systems used in one of the world’s most demanding technology environments.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with experts in embedded software, electronics, control engineering and system development , influence technical solutions and take responsibility from the first design decision through implementation and verification.

If C is your language, hardware is where you feel at home, and you want to solve engineering problems at the limits of precision and performance, we would like to hear from you.
