Software Architect / Lead Software Architect

Job Description

If you are tired of maintaining legacy code and are looking for an opportunity to build something from the ground up, this could be the perfect next step for you.

We are building a team of Embedded Architects to lead a major technological transformation. We are moving away from our existing Embedded Linux-based setup and migrating the entire ecosystem to NXP microcontrollers running Zephyr RTOS.

This is a genuine greenfield opportunity where you will define the new software architecture, design core components from scratch, and strategically guide the migration process. It is an ideal opportunity for someone who values technical ownership, enjoys making key architectural decisions, and knows how to leverage the full potential of Zephyr RTOS.

Does this sound interesting? Don't hesitate to apply!

Requirements

Seniority & Experience: Proven experience as a Senior Embedded Software Architect, covering the full product lifecycle from Start of Development (SoD) to Start of Production (SoP), including hands-on experience with production-related activities.
Architecture Framework: Strong knowledge and practical experience with the arc42 documentation template.
OS & Embedded Systems: In-depth experience in RTOS-based development on microcontrollers (MCUs), preferably with Zephyr RTOS.
Modern Tooling & Methods: Practical experience with AI-assisted software engineering tools and modern CI/CD toolchains.
Documentation & Communication: Strong technical writing skills, including requirements breakdown and architectural documentation, as well as excellent communication skills for effective collaboration with internal enterprise architects.
