Remote support for this position: partial
We are seeking a talented and experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. In this position you will play a crucial role in the development of the various firmware components and their integration with a Linux-based host. Control of highly dynamic and precise motor and angle subsystems is the most prominent among the typical objectives. In our cross-functional environment, you will collaborate with teams from other disciplines (mechanics, electronics and software) and contribute to the success of our cutting-edge products.
We are based in Heerbrugg, canton of St. Gallen, very close to the border with Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein. Our office is surrounded by mountains, and we take advantage of it by organizing hiking trips and other outdoor activities.
This is you
You hold a university- or technical degree in computer science and/or mechatronic
Knowledge and experience in development of embedded software (C, C++, Matlab/Simulink)
You know how to design and optimise a drives control loop.
Deep understanding of low-level software, drivers and operating systems (e.g., Zephyr, Linux, FreeRTOS…)
Ease of working in a Linux-based environment
Experience working with C++ templates and meta-programming is a plus
Ability to measure signals and read electronic schematics
You enjoy developing and collaborating in a cross-functional team on a broad range of high-precision devices
Positive mindset with independent working style and convincing communication skills
Strong communication skills in English are required. Communication skills in German is a plus
This appeals to you
Write and maintain software for existing and new drive solutions (e.g., PMSM, DC or stepper)
Develop real-time firmware for highly dynamic and precise motor and angle subsystems
Interact with stakeholders and other teams to understand the requirements and work on them together
Create Linux kernel- and user-space solutions to integrate the MCU-based peripherals in high-endsurveying and/orreality capture instruments.
Develop and run environmental tests to ensure the performance and reliability of a high-end product.
Design and support production processes about calibration, validation and configuration
Continuously keep up to date and improve the knowledge to contribute in a cross-functional drive and angle team
