Job Description

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 CO emissions from industrial sites, pipelines, and national infrastructure. Were 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. Youll 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 What you should bring to AIRMO The ideal candidate will have: Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience 5+ years of embedded software development, preferably in aerospace, robotics, or other high-reliability domains Expert-level C/C++ skills for bare-metal and RTOS environments Proven Linux application development on ARM platforms, including cross-toolchains and kernel extensions Hands-on integration experience with: GNSS timing modules Inertial sensors, real-time clocks, environmental sensors High-speed interfaces: USB, UART, CAN, CameraLink Solid understanding of power management, current sensing, and hardware fault protection Familiarity with Cyphal and YAMCS or comparable ground-control frameworks A hacker mentality: rapid prototyping, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to dive into schematics or PCB layouts when needed Fluency in English Requirements The minimum requirements for applicants include: Ability to spin up a FreeRTOS task faster than your morning coffee brews Skill to cross-compile and flash STM32 firmware blindfolded Comfort troubleshooting interrupt priorities and memory constraints on the fly Enthusiasm to learn about the NewSpace or Climate tech #J-18808-Ljbffr
