Embedded Platform Engineer

Department: Product

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote, Germany, Germany

About the Role

What youll do

• Develop our Yocto-based Linux distribution: layers, BSPs, kernel configuration, and reproducible builds
• Build and maintain the Rust components that run on our edge devices
• Bring up new hardware platforms, debug on target, and keep the platform secure and maintainable over a long device lifetime
• Keep our CI and on-hardware testing healthy, so changes reach devices with confidence

• Work with our ML and vision engineers on the device side of our computer vision capabilities: camera pipelines, video streaming, and model inference that runs efficiently on industrial hardware
• Share ownership with our ML engineers of how trained models move from our model pipeline onto devices and how they perform there: packaging, rollout, rollback, and drift monitoring
•  Help bring new edge runtimes for vision workloads from development into production

• Own device provisioning, over-the-air updates, and fleet observability
• Make deployments to devices in the field safe and boring: staged rollouts, health checks, and recovery paths
• Help diagnose issues on devices at customer sites, working with Support, Product, and Cloud to turn them into lasting fixes
• Share knowledge in both directions: learn the parts of the platform others built, and make sure what you build doesnt live only in your head
  
  

• Hands-on experience shipping embedded Linux to production, including Yocto: layers, BSPs and images youve built and maintained yourself, not just consumed
• Strong systems programming in Rust, or deep C/C++ experience on embedded Linux and real exposure to Rust that you want to build on
• An advantage if you have worked with AWS IoT Core or Greengrass, video pipelines or ML inference on edge hardware, or in industrial settings where devices run unattended for years
• A solid grasp of embedded security and update mechanisms: signed images, A/B or similar update schemes, and secure device provisioning
• You can explain a technical trade-off clearly, whether youre talking to another engineer, Support or a customer, and you do it in fluent English
• We welcome applications from people eager to move to Denmark, as long as you already have the legal right to live and work here.
