Senior Embedded Systems Engineer Berlin

AIRMO is a European climate-tech company using space and airborne technologies to monitor greenhouse gas emissions globally. Our instruments — combining LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging — detect and quantify methane and CO₂ emissions from industrial sites, pipelines, and national infrastructure.

We’re building a global monitoring system from air to space, helping energy companies, governments, and investors take real action on climate impact.

Role Overview

AIRMO is looking for a hands-on, talented Embedded Software Engineer to own the design, development, and maintenance of our next-generation satellite and airborne control systems. You’ll be at the core of our Payload Handling Unit (PHU) software and hardware — powering payloads, orchestrating data capture, and ensuring rock-solid reliability in space and flight.

Your Responsibilities in AIRMO

Your tasks will include, but are not limited to :

• Designing, writing, and maintaining real-time firmware on STM32 (bare-metal and RTOS) for power sequencing, current monitoring, and fault shutdown
• Developing and optimizing Linux applications on NVIDIA Jetson (ARM) for high-throughput data handling
• Integrating and coordinating data streams from USB cameras, UART / CAN sensors, and CameraLink frame grabbers
• Implementing precise trigger logic and timestamp synchronization using GNSS modules and PPS signals
• Interfacing with IMUs, RTCs, environmental sensors, and other payload peripherals
• Building and running unit / integration tests, hardware-in-the-loop benches, and automated validation suites
• Implementing and debugging Cyphal (CAN-based) protocols and YAMCS Mission Control interfaces
• Collaborating closely with hardware, optics, and mission operations teams to integrate software into end-to-end payload systems
• Documenting firmware architectures, APIs, test plans, and validation results with clarity and rigor
