Join ORiS and help build the future of energy in space.
At ORiS, we are building the technologies that will power the next generation of space missions.
Through laser-based wireless power transmission, we aim to overcome the energy limitations of today's satellites and enable longer, more capable, and more resilient operations in orbit.
As a Senior Embedded/Firmware Engineer, you will own the architecture, implementation, and validation of low-level and real-time software connecting ORiS sensors, actuators, control algorithms, and computing platforms.
You will lead the development of reliable, deterministic, and maintainable software on microcontrollers, embedded processors, SoCs, and real-time platforms used in ORiS laser transmission systems such as LOONA.
What You Will Do
Define firmware architecture, interfaces, execution models, coding practices, and verification strategy.
Lead development of drivers, hardware-abstraction layers, acquisition pipelines, actuator control, communications, diagnostics, and calibration.
Ensure deterministic timing, scheduling, interrupt, DMA, synchronization, data-integrity, and resource-management behaviour.
Lead integration of control and perception algorithms into production embedded targets.
Define watchdog, health-monitoring, fault-detection, safe-state, recovery, bootloader, update, and configuration strategies.
Drive automated testing, HIL, regression, debugging, performance optimization, and release readiness.
Resolve complex hardware/software issues with laboratory instrumentation and cross-functional teams.
Mentor engineers and collaborate with Electronics, Control, Robotics, Optical, and Systems Engineering.
What We Are Looking For
BSc or MSc in Computer, Electrical,
Electronics, Robotics, or Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.
6+ years of relevant experience developing embedded or real-time software, including ownership of deployed systems.
Expert C and strong C++ skills, with deep knowledge of RTOS, concurrency, drivers, hardware abstraction, and real-time constraints.
Experience with MCU/SoC architectures, communication interfaces, testing, debugging, code review, and release processes.
Strong understanding of timing, sampling, latency, numerical stability, reliability, and fault handling.
Ability to make architecture decisions, lead technical work, mentor others, and communicate clearly in English.
Nice to Have
Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ARM Cortex, DSPs, FPGA systems, motor control, SpaceWire, CCSDS, or RS-422.
Secure boot and updates, FDIR, safety-critical systems, HIL, flight software, ECSS, space qualification, or aerospace development.
