Description

At Alpine Eagle, we engineer advanced embedded intelligence for mission-critical airspace protection. Our solutions leverage AI, real-time sensor fusion, and autonomous communication systems to safeguard airspace against emerging drone threats. We build scalable, modular systems designed for fast deployment and rugged reliability in real-world operations.

We foster a culture of openness, purpose-driven innovation, and technical excellence, welcoming engineers who thrive in interdisciplinary teams and want their work to have a visible impact

Join a high-performing team building embedded software for edge devices in distributed sensor systems. Your work will focus on real-time communication, system synchronization, and efficient data processing across multiple sensor modalities (e.g., vision, RF, positioning). You’ll help bring high-performance embedded platforms to life—from prototyping to deployment on drones, vehicles, or ground stations.

  • Develop and maintain embedded applications using C++ targeting real-time Linux or bare-metal platforms.
  • Interface with a variety of sensors using protocols like SPI, UART, CAN, and Ethernet, ensuring reliable, low-latency data flows.
  • Design ROS2/DDS node structures for modular, scalable, and maintainable system architecture.
  • Implement diagnostic, telemetry, and remote-control modules for monitoring and operational safety.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware, AI, and system software teams to optimize end-to-end system performance.
  • Participate in integration and

  • .

What you need to be successful:

  • Degree in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Strong experience with C++ for embedded or real-time systems (FreeRTOS, Embedded Linux, Yocto).
  • Familiarity with ROS2, DDS, or other modern middleware frameworks.
  • Solid understanding of real-time programming, inter-process communication, and memory-constrained systems.
  • Experience working directly with hardware interfaces (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
  • Strong debugging skills using tools like gdb, logic analyzers, or serial consoles.
  • A hands-on mindset and eagerness to test and iterate under real-world conditions.
  • Fluency in English (written and spoken); German is a plus.
    Ideally also:
  • Experience with FPGA development and familiarity with SoC/MPSoC platforms (e.g., Xilinx Zynq, RFSoC).
  • Exposure to hardware/software co-design principles (e.g., AXI bus, DMA, or hardware accelerators).
  • Familiarity with UAV systems, sensor fusion, or

  • real-time systems.
  • Ability to contribute to full-stack embedded pipelines, from driver-level programming to application logic.
