Job description
TYTAN Technologies
At TYTAN , we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty.
We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own the Linux domain of our next-generation mission computer. Our platform is built around a modern heterogeneous multi-core Arm SoC with separate application and real-time processing domains. You will build the embedded Linux platform on the application cores and deliver the onboard capabilities that our autonomy depends on — GNC, vision pipeline, telemetry, payload integration — working hand in hand with several in-house hardware and software teams.
Your Roadmap to Make an Impact
Own the embedded Linux platform on the application cores of our next-generation mission computer: Yocto-based BSP, kernel configuration, device trees, board-specific drivers.
Build the onboard capability set: camera and video pipeline, hardware-accelerated vision building blocks, telemetry, and clean integration interfaces for GNC and mission payloads.

Implement the Linux side of the inter-processor communication with the real-time domain, including health monitoring, time synchronization and watchdog strategies.
Make the platform fleet-ready: secure boot chain, signed image updates, system hardening, fast and deterministic boot.
Set up CI with automated on-target testing and hardware-in-the-loop rigs; support integration and flight-test campaigns.
Work closely with SoC vendor BSPs and our in-house hardware team during board bring-up and debugging.
Mentor engineers across the team on Linux platform topics and establish maintainable platform practices.
Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable qualification.
5+ years of professional embedded Linux experience: Yocto or Buildroot, kernel and device-tree work, driver development and debugging on Arm SoCs.
Strong C/C++ skills; Python for tooling and test automation.
Hands-on experience with heterogeneous multi-core SoCs and enough RTOS understanding to design clean contracts with a real-time domain.
Practical experience with camera/video pipelines (e.g. V4L2, GStreamer); ISP tuning and ML deployment on embedded accelerators (e.g. vendor NPU SDKs, TensorRT-class toolchains) are a strong plus.
Experience with secure boot, signed updates and embedded security hardening is a strong plus.
Experience with UAV flight stacks or companion-computer setups (e.g. PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink) is a plus.
Comfortable in the lab: reading schematics, using scopes and analyzers during bring-up.
A pragmatic platform thinker who takes ownership and builds for the long run.
Fluent in English, German is beneficial.
