At Stenon, we are on a mission to democratize soil data. As the global market leader in real-time soil analytics, we empower farmers with actionable insights to improve yield, crop quality, and soil health while reducing costs and environmental impact.
To advance our next generation of soil sensing technology, we are looking for an Embedded Firmware Developer who can build the on-device software that turns hardware measurements into reliable data directly from the field.
As an Embedded Software Engineer / Firmware Engineer, you will take ownership of Linux system development and microcontroller firmware for our soil sensor platform, and work closely as part of our Device Engineering Team. You will implement, optimize and maintain embedded Linux components alongside robust firmware for microcontrollers, ensuring reliable operation across the full device stack.
Your work will involve interfacing SOC/SOM with our boards hosting different sorts of sensor, managing data acquisition, and enabling reliable communication between distributed system components under harsh outdoor conditions.
This includes ensuring stable system behavior, reliable Linux system image and firmware boiling down to robust device functionality. You will implement a robust Linux image as well as microcontroller firmware update mechanism. And with the use of Python, you will simplify complex problems.
Develop and maintain embedded Linux systems using Yocto for ARM-based platforms (e.g. Support and improve Linux-based system bring-up and debugging on new hardware
Interface embedded Linux systems with microcontrollers
Support on hardware related software development using Python
Solid experience with Linux Distributions
Practical experience with the Yocto Project (building images, modifying recipes, working with layers)
Experience with ARM-based embedded platforms (Raspberry Pi or similar SBCs)
Expert embedded C/C++ knowledge for firmware development
Hands-on experience with hardware interfaces (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, etc.)
Good knowledge of Python
Ability to debug complex issues across hardware/software boundaries
Experience with Buildroot or alternative embedded build systems
Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines in embedded environments
Experience with OTA updates or embedded system provisioning
Benefits
Real-World Impact: Design hardware that goes directly into the hands of farmers, solving global food production and climate challenges.
A key role in a fast-growing scale-up where you own your area of responsibility with flat hierarchies and fast decision-making.
Work in a highly productive, international team that values hands-on development and mutual support.
Choose between an ABC Berlin/Potsdam travel pass or a Deutschland-Ticket to keep you mobile.
We value transparency, ownership, and continuous improvement, and we believe great products come from teams that respect and support each other.
If you are ready to tackle the challenge of making complex soil data instantly accessible and actionable for farmers worldwide, we want to hear from you.
