You will contribute to architectural decisions, drive technical improvements, and ensure high-quality deliveries together with your team. Your responsibilities include:

Developing robust and efficient embedded software, primarily in Rust (occasionally C/C++)

Working close to hardware, performing debugging, measurement and analysis using oscilloscopes, analyzers, and similar tools

Contributing to next-generation automotive platforms such as ADAS, connectivity, infotainment or electrification

Applying automotive standards (ASPICE, AUTOSAR) and working with communication protocols such as CAN, J1939, and other serial interfaces

Designing for safety, reliability, and long-term maintainability

Collaborating in cross-functional agile teams with engineers, architects, and stakeholders

Challenging technical solutions and driving continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For We are looking for an experienced embedded engineer with strong technical depth and a passion for modern, safe system development. You have:

A degree in computer science, electrical engineering or similar

Several years of experience in embedded systems development

Proven experience with Rust, or deep C/C++ experience and a strong drive to work primarily in Rust

Understanding of low-level programming, RTOS/Linux/QNX environments, memory management and performance optimization

Experience with automotive or other safety-critical products

Skills in Python or similar scripting languages

Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn and challenge assumptions
