Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Real-Time Flight Software (m/f/d)

TYTAN Technologies

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty.

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the real-time domain of our next-generation mission computer. Our platform is built around a modern heterogeneous multi-core Arm SoC with separate application and real-time processing domains. You will bring an open-source flight stack to life on the real-time core, take the platform from first boot to flight test, and set the standard for flight-critical firmware at TYTAN — working hand in hand with our in-house electronics and hardware team.

Your roadmap to make an impact

Port and adapt an open-source flight stack to the real-time core of our next-generation mission computer, from bootloader to flight test.

Own real-time-domain bring-up: startup code, clocking and power states, peripheral drivers (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN), watchdogs and fault handling Design and implement the inter-processor communication between the real-time and Linux domains: transports, message contracts, time synchronization, degradation behavior.

Integrate flight-critical buses and sensor peripherals across the vehicle's avionics network.

Drive verification from day one: SIL/HIL test setups, automated on-target tests, flight-log analysis together with our GNC and flight-test engineers.

Define coding, review and
