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

TYTAN Technologies

The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We thrive, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who thrive on ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.

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 testing standards for flight-critical firmware (static analysis, CI, traceability).

• Work closely with our in-house hardware team: review schematics and pin multiplexing from the firmware perspective, support board bring-up and debugging in the lab.
