Lead Firmware Engineer - IoT - 12 Month+ Contract - Munich

As a Lead firmware engineer in the field of industrial IoT, you have the opportunity to directly involve and shape the firmware development for several of our asset tracking product line and to work with highly motivated and extremely ambitious colleagues.

Summary:

Roles and Responsibilities:

As a Lead Firmware Engineer, you will execute and coordinate the technical development of firmware in complex development projects supporting Internet of Things (IoT) asset tracking products and associated growth initiatives. You are responsible for defining, specifying and delivering robust and proven technical solutions for the related function from concept development, design and test through industrialization in alignment with other major organizational stakeholders such as Product Management, Manufacturing, and Business Development etc. You will also own the R&D aspects of several product line. Additional responsibilities includes mentoring of junior engineers and provide architecture level support for members in a highly cross-functional team.

Required Skills:

Proven project management skills to effectively manage external experts and internal team members. Ready to lead technical functions in a cross-functional team to develop firmware for embedded platforms (mainly STM32). Experience in low level, bare-metal coding on low power Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers. Development of components such as peripheral device drivers, bootloader and communication stack integration. Familiarity with standard embedded debugging techniques, hands on board bring up, electrical and air sniffing tools and for low level verification of developed code. Experience in formal development processes and an understanding of professional industrial product requirements and solutions, and excellent conceptual, coding and planning skills with joy to work with other professionals within and outside the engineering team.

Detailed description:

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design, implement new software and architectures for our embedded systems in alignment with customer and system requirements and support other development engineers both in terms of mentoring as well as at an advisory capacity
