About PIDSO

For over 15 years PIDSO has been developing high-performance communication solutions Made in Austria built for environments where failure is not an option.

Our antenna and RF systems enable reliable data transmission and signal processing in mission-critical applications across aerospace defense motorsport automotive and Industry 4.0.

We combine research development manufacturing and testing under one roof. Fast focused and with uncompromising attention to detail.

The role

We are looking for a senior software engineer to build and maintain critical applications used by our R&D Production and Quality teams. The role combines hands-on Python development regular contact with users and responsibility for software once it is in use.

You will work with specialists in embedded software RF/DSP hardware development Production and Quality. They bring the domain knowledge; you turn their needs into software that is reliable maintainable and practical to use.

What you will work on

One of your first substantial projects will be our Python application for RF measurements in an anechoic chamber and hardware end tests ensuring quality of our high-end antenna products. It controls lab equipment visualizes measurement results and generates reports while its backend directly supports product development in R&D.

Other current areas include:

• Python applications for engineering and test workflows;
• build test and release pipelines for embedded software;
• tools for provisioning embedded products;
• simulation and evaluation frameworks for algorithm development;
• small internal services and web applications where they are a better fit than a desktop application.

As the role develops you can take on more work in the areas that best fit your strengths and interests.

What you will do

• Talk to users observe how they work and turn their requirements and problems into practical software changes.
• Develop and maintain Python applications libraries and tests in the context of radar communications and antennas.
• Take responsibility for the path from source code to a released deployed and supported application.
• Investigate problems involving application code operating systems configuration networks and connected hardware or services.
• Improve existing software step by step without disrupting the people who depend on it.
• Work with Quality IT and domain experts where their input or approval is needed.
• Keep important technical decisions and operating procedures documented.

What you bring

• At least four years of professional experience in software development including work on applications used in day-to-day operations.
• Strong Python skills gained while building and maintaining applications libraries or services.
• Experience taking responsibility for an application beyond coding: understanding user needs making technical decisions releasing it supporting it and improving it based on feedback.
• Sound knowledge of application design automated testing logging dependency management version control and CI/CD.
• A systematic approach to debugging problems that span applications operating systems networks configuration and hardware.
• The confidence to work directly with technical and non-technical users including when requirements are incomplete or conflicting.
• Clear communication great engineering judgment and an independent way of working.
• Professional English.
• Active and responsible use of LLM-assisted development tools: you use them where they help but review test and take responsibility for the result.

Helpful experience

• desktop application development with Qt PySide PyQt or a comparable framework;
• packaging deploying and supporting Python applications on Windows and Linux;
• Docker reproducible builds artifact management signing and release controls;
• laboratory RF measurement equipment or hardware testing experience;
• work in a regulated or quality-managed engineering environment;
• REST APIs web applications or asynchronous Python;
• German language skills.

Why Join PIDSO

At PIDSO software doesnt just support the business it helps build test and deliver high-end antenna and radar technology.

Youll work close to the hardware the engineers and the products: from RF measurement systems and automated test environments to engineering tools used every day in R&D and Production.

What you can expect:

• Engineering with real-world impact your software directly supports the development and quality of our antenna radar and communication systems.
• Ownership that matters from understanding the problem to architecture implementation deployment and continuous improvement.
• Close to the technology work alongside specialists in RF DSP embedded software hardware Production and Quality.
• Complex challenges instead of generic software projects measurement systems connected hardware automation simulation and engineering workflows.
• Room to shape things PIDSO is growing and so are our software landscape processes and engineering capabilities.
• A high-tech environment with short decision paths where good ideas can quickly become working solutions.

We are building technology that has to perform when it matters from the first line of Python to the signal in space.

Salary

For this position the minimum salary according to the Kollektivvertrag Metallgewerbe (Verwendungs-gruppe IV 6 years) is 4.13215 gross per month with a clear willingness to overpay based on your existing projects and technical skills.
