Vacant position

Embedded Software Engineer

Application deadline: 20.03.26

About the Role:

Kontur is expanding its R&D team and is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer passionate about exploring new and enabling technologies for sensor fusion and ground-penetrating radar systems. In this role, you will work closely with custom hardware and FPGA-based subsystems, developing embedded software that bridges high-performance data acquisition hardware and robust Linux based embedded systems. The position will be located at our Trondheim headquarters and reports to the CTO. Position is open to both early-career and senior engineers.

Responsibilities:

  • Let us know if anything needs further clarification, and we’re happy to help.
  • Develop and maintain embedded Linux systems based on Buildroot
  • Develop low-level Linux drivers and user-space APIs for custom hardware, including DMA based I/O
  • Integrate and manage hardware interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART and Ethernet
  • Support system level integration of GNSS, IMU, wheel encoders, and radar data
  • Development of software/firmware for real-time processing of high-rate sensor data
  • Contribute to system performance, reliability, and determinism within data acquisition pipelines.
  • Apply agile development practices throughout the development cycle
  • Maintain and develop network stack for streaming high-rate sensor data over Ethernet

Experience/Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in computer science, electronics, cybernetics, or relevant engineering discipline
  • C/C++ programming experience and scripting in Python
  • Practical experience with embedded Linux, preferably using Buildroot
  • Basic understanding of FPGA design concepts and VHDL
  • Experience with high-speed Digital Signal Processing and/or data acquisition using DMA is an advantage
  • Familiarity with networking concepts and Ethernet-based data streaming for high-rate sensor data
  • Strong problem solving and debugging skills
