Senior Embedded Platform Engineer (m/f/d)

Kurz zusammengefasst

Alpine Eagle is a fast‑growing deep‑tech company that designs aerospace‑grade defence systems, most notably the world's first swarm‑based airborne counter‑drone solution. The firm blends advanced artificial intelligence with robust engineering to give democracies a technological edge against evolving drone threats. As a senior member of the team, you will help shape the next generation of aerial security platforms. In this role you will be responsible for building and sustaining the embedded software core of a distributed counter‑UAS system. Your day‑to‑day work includes configuring embedded operating systems, creating device abstractions and common services, and implementing secure provisioning, identity management, and over‑the‑air updates. You will also define runtime, deployment, diagnostics and recovery mechanisms, and provide stable interfaces that let domain teams deploy their applications without dealing with low‑level platform details. Ensuring reliability, maintainability and security throughout the device lifecycle is a key focus. To succeed, you must have a solid background in embedded Linux or a comparable embedded OS, along with hands‑on experience managing device lifecycles, software deployment and system‑level debugging. A strong grasp of embedded security, networking and secure update processes is required, as is proficiency in C/C++ and Python (or similar systems programming languages). You should also be comfortable working on hardware‑dependent, distributed software architectures. Alpine Eagle offers a mission‑driven environment where great ideas are encouraged and collaboration is central. The company's international team, solid financial backing and ambitious vision provide a platform for professional growth while contributing to a cause that matters. The position is based at Alpine Eagle's headquarters, where you will join a culture that values innovation, security and the impact of your work on global defence capabilities. What the role asks for: - Strong experience in embedded Linux or comparable OS - Experience with device lifecycle management and software deployment - Experience with system‑level debugging - Knowledge of embedded security, networking and secure update mechanisms - Proficiency in C/C++ programming - Proficiency in Python or relevant systems programming language - Experience with hardware‑dependent distributed software systems
