colleagues.

Your Profile
 Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent qualification.
 Strong proficiency in C and C++, preferably in embedded software development.
 Experience in STM32 microcontroller families (especially Cortex-M0+, M4, M33).
 Experience with embedded development toolchains, IDEs (CLion, VS Code), and CI/CD
systems.
 Familiarity with Unit-Test frameworks (e.g., Google Test).
 Solid understanding of schematics, technical datasheets, and reference manuals.
 Strong proficiency in Linux OS.
 Open-minded, structured, independent working style and strong team player.
 Good communication skills in English (German is a plus).

Soft Skills
 Open-minded, willing to learn, and forward-looking attitude.
 Curious, questioning the status quo, and proactive in sharing ideas.
 Analytical thinking and structured approach.
 Team-oriented with a security-focused and test-driven development mindset.

Motivation & Role Impact
You will contribute to the core embedded systems framework by implementing the
complete hardware abstraction layer. Your work will enable application developers to
access microcontroller features more efficiently and will support a highly modular and
reusable software environment across product lines.
