[Hiring] Embedded Software Engineer @Fernride

Role Description

You will work on Fernride’s embedded vehicle software platform, forming the foundation that connects high-level autonomy and teleoperation software to the physical vehicle. This spans the full embedded stack—from bootloader, middleware and operating system up to board support packages, drivers, and vehicles Drive-by-Wire interfaces.

The role sits close to the hardware and is essential for deterministic behavior, reliable time synchronization, and robust sensor integration across the vehicle platform.

How you will leave your footprint

• Develop and maintain embedded software across the full vehicle platform, from bootloader to application-level interfaces
• Integrate and evolve Drive-by-Wire interfaces and other safety-relevant vehicle controls
• Integrate and maintain BSPs, embedded OS configurations, and low-level platform services
• Implement and optimize drivers for vehicle sensors and embedded peripherals
• Ensure reliable system timing and synchronization across sensors, compute units, and networks

Qualifications

Required skills

• Strong experience in embedded software development (C/C++), ideally in automotive or robotics environments
• Solid knowledge of embedded Linux or RTOS-based systems, including bootloaders and BSPs
• Experience developing or integrating low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
• Understanding of timing, synchronization, and real-time constraints in embedded systems
• A quality- and reliability-focused mindset for safety-relevant software

Preferred skills

• Experience with Drive-by-Wire systems or other vehicle control interfaces
• Familiarity with automotive networks and time synchronization mechanisms (e.g. CAN, ETH, PTP)
• Experience working with custom hardware platforms and bring-up of new embedded boards
• Experience with middleware development
• Experience with Rust
