Senior Embedded Software Engineer – EO/IR Gimbal Systems (m/f/d)

About this role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development of software for next-generation defense-grade Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) gimbal systems. The successful candidate will architect and develop high-performance, low-latency video processing and streaming software for embedded computing platforms while integrating cameras, sensors, communication interfaces, and embedded hardware into a mission-critical stabilization and targeting system.

This role requires strong expertise in embedded Linux, multimedia frameworks, GPU-accelerated computing, networking, and hardware/software integration. You will collaborate closely with systems, electronics, computer vision, mechanical, and control engineers to deliver robust, production-ready solutions for demanding defense applications.

#### What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for defense-grade EO/IR gimbal systems.
• Develop real-time video capture, processing, encoding, decoding, recording, and streaming applications on embedded Linux platforms using GStreamer, FFmpeg, and hardware-accelerated multimedia frameworks.
• Develop reliable networking solutions for real-time video transport using RTP, RTSP, UDP, TCP, H.264, and H.265.
• Develop high-performance image processing and computer vision applications using CUDA, OpenCV, or equivalent GPU-accelerated technologies where applicable.
• Integrate visible, infrared, and thermal imaging sensors into embedded systems.
• Develop software interfaces for IMUs, laser rangefinders, and other mission-critical sensors.
• Develop Linux device drivers and perform kernel-level integration for custom hardware.
• Interface with embedded hardware using SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, GPIO, USB, Ethernet, MIPI CSI, HDMI, and other industry-standard interfaces.
• Optimize software for deterministic performance, low latency, and efficient utilization of CPU, GPU, and hardware accelerators.
• Design scalable com...
