We have a growing Software Development team of experienced engineers developing advanced embedded solutions for electronic warfare systems. With a healthy product roadmap and long-term development programs, we offer technically demanding work with real-world impact.
To support our long-term roadmap and ambitious technology goals, we're now looking for a Senior Embedded Software Developer to join us and help build high-quality, future-proof systems!
Your role
We're particularly interested in a seasoned software professional with broad embedded systems experience, strong competence in C++ and embedded Linux , and a demonstrated ability to understand complex systems beyond individual software components. Alongside hands-on development work, you'll collaborate closely with hardware, RF, and testing teams to define system behavior, solve multidisciplinary challenges, and ensure robust end-to-end solutions.
As modern development practices continue to evolve, we increasingly value engineers who combine strong technical fundamentals with system-level thinking, architectural understanding, and the ability to efficiently utilize modern development tools and methods . Success in this role comes from understanding the problem deeply, not just implementing the solution.
You'll be working with modern embedded platforms and technologies, continuously learning, and developing in an environment that values technical excellence, curiosity, and teamwork.
In practice, your work may include developing embedded software features, participating in system and architecture design, troubleshooting complex system-level issues, and working closely with RF, FPGA, hardware, and test engineering specialists.
