We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Software Team Lead to drive our development efforts from the trenches. You will lead a team of talented engineers, combining strong technical leadership with deep hands-on involvement. In this role, you will be responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of complex embedded software, while mentoring team members and ensuring high code quality. This is a "player-coach" role for someone who loves to solve hard technical problems and thrives on developing people.
Responsibilities:
Leadership & Mentoring
Lead and mentor a team of embedded software engineers, setting day-to-day priorities and fostering a high-performance culture
Provide technical guidance, perform code reviews, and act as the go-to person for complex technical challenges
Facilitate team collaboration and ensure clear communication across the R&D organization
Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, and continuous learning
Technical Ownership (Hands-on)
Remain deeply involved in hands-on design, architecture, and coding (approx. 50% coding/design work)
Design and implement robust embedded software for real-time systems, focusing on performance, scalability, and safety
Ensure best practices in coding standards, unit testing, and CI/CD integration
Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration between software and hardware components (SoCs, MCUs, sensors, etc.)
Execution & Delivery
Own the delivery of specific embedded modules, from design to production
Translate product requirements into actionable technical tasks and roadmaps
Drive engineering processes to increase efficiency and code quality
Work closely with customers and Tier-1 partners on technical requirements, escalations, and delivery commitments
Stay updated with industry trends in embedded systems and automotive tech to continuously improve our stack
Requirements: 8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded systems and C/C++ development
Proven leadership experience: at least 2-3 years leading a small to medium-sized engineering team (technical mentorship and people management)
Deep technical expertise in:
Embedded Linux/RTOS environments
Real-time signal processing and memory management
Developing for heterogeneous architectures (CPU, GPU, MCU)
Familiarity with software architecture principles and Git-based development workflows
Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and product needs
Mindset: "Startup-ready"-flexible, solution-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Advantage: Experience in the automotive industry (ASPICE, AUTOSAR, ISO 26262) or AI-acceleration software
This position is open to all candidates.
