Senior C++ Developer (f/m/x)

We are looking for an experienced Senior Firmware Developer to join our firmware platform team — building the foundation that Anton Paar's instrument teams build upon.

This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on clean architecture and sustainable firmware design. You will take ownership of technically challenging topics, explore solutions through technical spikes, and turn larger epics and requirements into well-structured, actionable development tasks.

Develop firmware platform components in C/C++ - reusable, well-abstracted building blocks used across instrument teams

Keep the firmware architecture clean and maintainable - actively shape interfaces, abstractions, component boundaries, and technical concepts

Drive architecture decisions within your area of responsibility and ensure implementations remain aligned with the overall platform architecture

Investigate complex technical topics through technical spikes and prototypes, evaluate alternatives, and turn findings into concrete implementation proposals

Plan technical work from epics to implementation tasks - analyze requirements, identify dependencies and risks, and break larger topics down into clear, actionable work items

Take technical ownership of features and components from initial concept through implementation, testing, and integration

Collaborate closely with other firmware developers and instrument teams, providing technical guidance and helping establish robust engineering solutions

Contribute to engineering quality and continuous improvement, including testing, code reviews, tooling, and development practices

Completed higher technical education (HTL, FH, TU), preferably with a focus on Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Several years of experience in embedded microcontroller firmware development

A strong understanding of software and firmware architecture — you think in abstractions, clean interfaces, clear responsibilities, and testable designs

The ability to structure complex technical problems, explore solution alternatives, and translate larger requirements or epics into concrete development tasks

Proficiency in C, C++, RTOS concepts, and Python

Excellent self-management — you take ownership of technical topics and drive them to completion

A strong team player who communicates openly, supports teammates, and takes shared ownership of outcomes

The following qualifications would be additionally beneficial

Hands-on experience with Zephyr RTOS

Experience designing platform, middleware, or reusable embedded software components

Familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) in embedded contexts

Experience with CI/CD pipelines for firmware projects

Knowledge of static analysis, linting, and code quality tooling

Experience conducting technical spikes, prototyping, or technology evaluations

Experience contributing to architectural decisions across multiple components or products

A reliable and long-term workplace in our expanding and international high-tech company

An innovative company culture that promotes technical excellence guaranteeing us the position of a technological leader in the global market

A value-oriented working environment that fosters friendly, supportive cooperation between colleagues and, at the same time, provides room for involvement, dedication and individual responsibility

Individual training and onboarding

Work Outside Office (occasion-related possibility to work outside the office)

Voluntary flexibility allowance

Professional and personal development
