## Job description

Deine Mission & Herausforderungen Wir skalieren unsere Echtzeit‑Embedded‑Linux‑Kompetenz über NEURAs aktuelle und nächste Robotik‑Plattformen hinweg – Cobots, mobile Manipulatoren, Humanoide, Quadrupeden sowie die gemeinsame Compute Unit. In dieser Rolle verantwortest du das Betriebssystem, den Kernel und die Board‑Support‑Layer, auf denen alle Regelungs‑ und Kommunikations‑Stacks dieser Plattformen aufbauen. Du arbeitest eng mit dem RT‑Communication‑Bus‑Engineer sowie mit Hardware‑, Simulations‑ und Safety/Certification‑Stakeholdern zusammen, um Plattformen zu liefern, die deterministisch, wartbar und für einen kontrollierten Produkt‑Lebenszyklus geeignet sind.

- Echtzeit‑Linux‑Plattformen – sowohl Co‑Kernel‑Ansätze als auch Kernel‑Preemption – inklusive RT‑Scheduling‑Policies und Interrupt‑Latenz‑Budgetierung, um die Zeitanforderungen der Regelungs‑ und Schätzloops auf der Plattform zu erfüllen (kHz‑Ganzkörperregelung und hochfrequente State Estimation).
- SoM‑Board‑Bring‑up und das Yocto‑BSP für jede Hardware‑Revision der Roboterplattformen: Boot‑Flow, Kernel‑Konfiguration, Device Trees sowie Treiberarbeit an der C/C++‑Grenze, mit Hands‑on‑Debugging auf echter Hardware.
- Yocto‑Layer, ‑Rezepte und ‑Images für Entwicklung, Validierung und Release; strukturierte Evaluierungen und Migrationen über mehrere SoCs und Board‑Varianten, während sich die Hardware weiterentwickelt.
- WCET‑Analysen über verschiedene RT‑Loop‑Konfigurationen hinweg sowie RT‑Memory‑Management‑Best Practices (Memory Locking, Huge Pages, NUMA‑bewusste Allokation, Vermeidung von Priority Inversion).
- Co‑Review von WCET‑Budgets und Zyklustiming mit dem RT‑Communication‑Bus‑Engineer an der OS/Fieldbus‑Schnittstelle, um sicherzustellen, dass Scheduling‑, Interrupt‑ und Synchronisations‑Annahmen auch unter Last gelten.
- Safety‑Integration auf Kernel‑Ebene (z. B. E‑Stop‑Chain‑Verdrahtung, ISO‑10218‑Safety‑PLC‑Integration); Design‑Mitwirkung, Dokumentation und Traceability für kontrollierte Änderungsprozesse.
- Build‑, Flash‑ und Test‑Automatisierung sowie aktuelle technische Dokumentation für die gesamte Engineering‑Organisation.

Auf was können wir uns freuen

- Background im Embedded‑Linux‑BSP‑Engineering mit Hands‑on‑Erfahrung in Yocto / OpenEmbedded auf Produktionshardware.
- Praktische Erfahrung mit Echtzeit‑Linux‑Kernel‑Patching und ‑Tuning, mit Scheduling‑orientiertem Denken (SCHED_FIFO/RR, Prioritäten, CPU‑Affinity, Interrupt‑Pfad).
- Solides Wissen zu WCET‑Analyse‑Methoden und ‑Tools (z. B. OTAWA, Chronos oder herstellerspezifische Äquivalente).
- Sehr gute C‑ und C++‑Kenntnisse an der Kernel/Treiber‑Grenze; Device‑Tree‑Authoring; praktisches Scripting für Engineering‑Workflows.
- Erfahrung mit ARM‑SoCs mit Multi‑Cluster‑Konfigurationen (z. B. Cortex‑A + Cortex‑R) oder vergleichbaren Plattformen.
- Kollaborativer Arbeitsstil: gemeinsames Design, konstruktives Code‑Review, proaktive Kommunikation und zuverlässige Abstimmung über Hardware‑, Kommunikations‑ und Safety‑Disziplinen hinweg. Starkes Teamwork ist für diese Rolle essenziell.
- Bachelorabschluss in einem relevanten Fachgebiet oder gleichwertige praktische Erfahrung.

## Nice to have

- EtherCAT‑Kenntnisse, ausreichend für OS/Fieldbus‑Boundary‑Co‑Reviews (WCET‑Budgets und Zyklustiming).
- Einblick in funktionale Safety‑Engineering‑Praktiken (ISO 26262, IEC 61508 oder ISO 10218) – Dokumentation, Evidenz, Review‑Zyklen. Zertifizierungs‑Sign‑off ist für diese Rolle nicht erforderlich.
- Erfahrung mit PTP / IEEE‑1588‑Hardware‑Timestamping auf Kernel‑Netzwerktreiber‑Ebene.
- Background in Robotik, Motion Control oder industrieller Automation mit strengen Timing‑Anforderungen.
- Interesse daran, den Verantwortungsbereich mit dem Wachstum des Plattform‑Teams zu erweitern.

Auf was kannst Du Dich freuen

- Tauche ein in die Welt eines agilen Unternehmens, gestalte aktiv Themen mit und profitiere von flachen Hierarchien in einem hochmotivierten Team
- Genieße eine attraktive Vergütung, flexible Arbeitszeiten sowie 30 Tage Erholungsurlaub
- Bei uns hast du die Freiheit, eigene Ideen einzubringen und voranzutreiben
- Feiere Erfolge gemeinsam mit Firmenevents und nutze unser Corporate Benefits Programm
- Und noch mehr Spaß mit tollen Kollegen
