Senior Software Developer Bare-metal and Linux (f/m/x)

Description

The company is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, supplying high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions.

Around 80 percent of the world's microchips are made with its technologies, which helps produce smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient chips used in phones, smart homes and smart factories.

This role sits in the software team for lithography systems.

Responsibilities

• Write embedded control software for the next generation of lithography systems, mainly in C on bare-metal controllers.
• Contribute to embedded Linux software components where needed.
• Help define software architecture and turn requirements into solutions that can be maintained over time.
• Build and improve the test infrastructure used to verify and validate software.
• Analyze technical requirements, runtime behavior and edge cases to keep the system reliable.
• Work with an agile, highly specialized development team and with experts in software, electronics and system development.

Requirements

• A degree in engineering, computer science, control systems, mathematics, physics or a comparable field.
• Recent, hands-on professional experience in C for bare-metal systems.
• A solid grasp of low-level embedded concepts such as memory management and hardware-related programming.
• Practical experience in machine-oriented software, embedded Linux or real-time environments.
• Some initial experience with software architecture and technical design decisions.
• A good grasp of software design principles and the ability to derive solutions from requirements, runtime behavior and relevant edge cases.
• Strong analytical skills, a structured way of working, and clear communication across interdisciplinary teams.
• Good German and English.
• Python for test automation is an advantage.
• Knowledge of FPGA or VHDL is ideal but not required.
