Embedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer

On behalf of our client we are looking for aEmbedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer:

Level: Mid-level preferred (strong Junior candidates with hands-on experience will also be considered)

Type of employment: Full-time

Location: Vienna Austria

Model of work: Hybrid / Remote arrangement to be agreed

The Opportunity:

Our client is an innovative technology company developing a next-generation IoT platform that combines embedded electronics intelligent sensor systems edge processing environmental monitoring adaptive control and cloud connectivity into a single connected solution.

The product is currently in the R&D phase and will be deployed and validated in real-world pilot environments with a strong focus on reliability safety scalability and intelligent automation.

This is a unique opportunity to work on a greenfield product where embedded systems IoT cloud technologies and AI come together. Rather than maintaining an existing solution you will contribute to building an innovative connected hardware platform from the ground up working alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams and taking part in every stage of product developmentfrom prototype to real-world deployment.

As an Embedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer you will play a key role in developing the firmware that powers the platform. You will work closely with Systems Engineering Backend/Cloud AI/ML and Validation teams to integrate hardware sensors and communication layers into a reliable production-ready connected device.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building testing debugging and integrating real-world embedded systems.

Benefits:

What this company can offer you is the opportunity to work on an innovative international R&D project using modern embedded and IoT technologies while collaborating with experienced multidisciplinary engineering teams.

When it comes to your career you can expect:

• Opportunity to work on an innovative greenfield product from its early development stages
• Hybrid or remote working arrangement by agreement
• International and collaborative engineering environment
• Exposure to embedded systems IoT edge computing cloud connectivity and AI-driven solutions
• Opportunity to influence technical decisions and product evolution
• Continuous professional development through challenging engineering work
• Supportive team culture focused on collaboration knowledge sharing and innovation

Key Job Responsibilities:

The Embedded Firmware & Edge Integration Engineer will be responsible for developing embedded firmware and integrating hardware components into a reliable connected platform suitable for prototype validation and real-world deployment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing firmware for microcontrollers and embedded modules
• Integrating sensors using interfaces such as I2C SPI UART GPIO CAN and RS485
• Supporting integration of environmental thermal radar occupancy acoustic load-cell and other sensor systems
• Developing low-level sensor drivers data acquisition routines and hardware abstraction layers
• Implementing actuator control logic for ventilation heating cooling power management and other controlled subsystems
• Implementing watchdog mechanisms diagnostics fail-safe behaviour error handling and recovery routines
• Supporting edge-side preprocessing and communication with backend/cloud services
• Integrating embedded firmware with MQTT and API-based communication where applicable
• Supporting OTA firmware update functionality and version management
• Performing hardware bring-up board-level debugging prototype testing and field troubleshooting
• Collaborating on system integration pilot deployment and validation activities
• Preparing technical documentation related to firmware interfaces testing procedures and integration status

If you are someone who has:

Must:

• Practical experience or strong demonstrated knowledge of embedded firmware development
• Good knowledge of C/C or similar embedded programming languages
• Experience working with microcontrollers embedded modules or Linux-based edge devices
• Good understanding of communication interfaces including I2C SPI UART GPIO CAN and/or RS485
• Ability to read electronic schematics and troubleshoot hardware/software integration issues
• Experience or strong interest in sensors actuators relays and power-control systems
• Experience using debugging tools such as oscilloscopes logic analyzers multimeters serial monitors or JTAG/SWD tools
• Understanding of diagnostics watchdog implementation and fail-safe system behaviour
• Experience working with Git and structured development workflows
• Ability to prepare clear technical documentation
• English or Serbian/Bosnian/Croatian for daily communication

Nice to have:

• Experience with IoT devices or connected embedded products
• Experience with MQTT REST APIs edge-to-cloud communication or device telemetry
• Experience implementing OTA firmware updates
• Experience with Linux-based edge platforms such as Raspberry Pi NVIDIA Jetson or ARM-based gateways
• Experience working with environmental sensors radar modules thermal cameras audio modules or load-cell systems
• Experience with HVAC ventilation access-control or power-management systems
• Basic Python scripting for testing and automation
• Experience with prototype development and field deployment
• German language skills for communication with Austrian partners and suppliers
