Developer Embedded Linux (m/f/x)

Description

The company's technologies are used to produce around 80 percent of the world's microchips.

Its high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions help make chips that are smaller, more powerful and more energy efficient.

The company is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and the team works in the micro- and nanoelectronics field.

Responsibilities

• Write software for high-precision lithography systems and build robust embedded control solutions for a demanding chip-manufacturing environment.
• Collaborate with experienced specialists in software, electronics and system development, and help shape technical solutions from implementation through design decisions.
• Build embedded control software for next-generation lithography systems, mainly coding bare-metal controllers in C.
• Work on embedded Linux-based software components where needed.
• Help define software architecture and turn requirements into maintainable technical solutions.
• Create and extend test infrastructure to verify and validate software.
• Examine technical requirements, runtime behaviour and edge cases to keep system performance reliable.
• Join an agile, highly specialised development team.

Requirements

• Degree in engineering, computer science, control systems, mathematics, physics or a similar field.
• Recent, substantial hands-on experience in professional C development for bare-metal systems.
• Solid grasp of low-level embedded concepts, including memory management and hardware-related programming.
• Practical experience in machine-oriented software, embedded Linux or real-time environments.
• Early experience with software architecture tasks and technical design decisions.
• Sound knowledge of software design principles and the ability to derive solutions from requirements, runtime behaviour and relevant edge cases.
• Python for test automation is an advantage.
• Knowledge of FPGA or VHDL is ideally expected, though not required.
• Strong analytical skills, a structured way of working and clear communication in interdisciplinary teams.
• Good command of German and English.
