Firmware Engineer

I’m recruiting on behalf of a pioneering European space technology startup developing advanced electric propulsion systems. They are looking for a Firmware Engineer with a strong low-level, bare-metal focus to work at the intersection of hardware and software.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the metal, understands real-world electronic behaviour, and is comfortable moving between datasheets, registers, embedded C, and lab instrumentation.

You’ll be responsible for developing robust, efficient firmware that directly interfaces with microcontrollers and hardware peripherals. Working closely with electronics engineers, you’ll help validate hardware, solve integration challenges, and ensure firmware behaviour aligns precisely with hardware constraints.

This is a hands‑on role in an environment where firmware and hardware are deeply interconnected and technical ownership is high.
