Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

AIRMO is a European climate-tech company using space and airborne technologies to monitor greenhouse gas emissions globally. Our instruments combining LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging detect and quantify methane and CO₂ emissions from industrial sites pipelines and national infrastructure.

Were building a global monitoring system from ground to space helping NGOs energy companies governments and investors take real action on climate impact.

AIRMO is looking for a hands-on talented Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the design development and maintenance of our next-generation satellite and airborne control systems. Youll be at the core of our Payload Handling Unit (PHU) software and hardware powering payloads orchestrating data capture and ensuring rock-solid reliability in space and flight.

Tasks

• Designing writing and maintaining real-time firmware on STM32 (bare-metal and RTOS) for power sequencing current monitoring and fault shutdown
• Developing and optimizing Linux applications on NVIDIA Jetson (ARM) for high-throughput data handling
• Integrating and coordinating data streams from USB cameras UART/CAN sensors and CameraLink frame grabbers
• Implementing precise trigger logic and timestamp synchronization using GNSS modules and PPS signals
• Interfacing with IMUs RTCs environmental sensors and other payload peripherals
• Building and running unit/integration tests hardware-in-the-loop benches and automated validation suites
• Implementing and debugging Cyphal (CAN-based) protocols and YAMCS Mission Control interfaces
• Collaborating closely with hardware optics and mission operations teams to integrate software into end-to-end payload systems
• Documenting firmware architectures APIs test plans and validation results with clarity and rigor

Requirements

• Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering Software Engineering Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience
• 5 years of embedded software development preferably in aerospace robotics or other high-reliability domains
• Expert-level C/C skills for bare-metal and RTOS environments
• Proven Linux application development on ARM platforms including cross-toolchains and kernel extensions
• Hands-on integration experience with:
• GNSS timing modules
• Inertial sensors real-time clocks environmental sensors
• High-speed interfaces: USB UART CAN CameraLink
• Solid understanding of power management current sensing and hardware fault protection
• Familiarity with Cyphal and YAMCS or comparable ground-control frameworks
• A hacker mentality: rapid prototyping creative problem-solving and a willingness to dive into schematics or PCB layouts when needed
• Fluency in English

Benefits

• 1000 / yr development budget
• Tea coffee drinks snacks in office
• Work with a killer team of motivated experts

This is a rare chance to build real software that will fly beyond the edge of the atmosphere and bring critical Earth-observation payloads to life. If youre ready to roll up your sleeves write mission-critical code and help shape the future of space-based instrumentation we want to hear from you.
