Introduction
Lead part of our Munich R&D Embedded Software Platform team (~10) of Mobile Radio Test to evolve our embedded stack into a cloud-ready foundation, shape SDR strategy, partner globally, and own cross-functional Embedded Linux components.
Tasks
* Provide disciplinary and technical leadership and drive the growth and personal development of the R&D Embedded Software Platform team of around 10 employees in Munich.
* Plan and execute the evolution of the embedded platform into a cloud infrastructure–ready platform, including roadmap definition, migration strategy, and rollout in partnership with key stakeholders.
* Shape the platform software strategy underpinning the next generation of Software Defined Radios for mobile radio testing.
* Collaborate closely with international development teams, with a strong interface to product-specific software departments.
* Champion the technological and methodological evolution of our software, fostering innovation, best practices, and engineering excellence across the team.
* Own cross-functional Embedded Linux platform components end-to-end: architecture, implementation oversight, quality, security, and continuous improvement.
* Ensure the platform meets instrument-grade requirements: reliability, maintainability, long-term support, and predictable releases for multiple product groups.
Qualifications
* Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, ideally with a focus on communications or information technology.
* Proven leadership experience with the ability to motivate, inspire, and align cross-functional teams.
* You have proven leadership; embedded (Yocto/Zephyr), cloud (AWS/Azure), containers (Docker/Kubernetes/EKS/AKS), plus SDR/5G–6G exposure and strong agile development processes.
* Several years of experience delivering complex software and/or device platforms, with a strong track record in embedded Linux systems including (e.g., Yocto Linux, Zephyr).
* Core cloud expertise: Architecting on a major cloud (AWS or Azure) for secure, scalable platform services, including core networking, compute, and storage
* Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes; EKS/AKS) for microservices and edge/IoT deployments.
* Domain knowledge in mobile radio and SDR and exposure to 5G/6G technologies, protocols, and test/measurement workflows is a plus.
* Deep familiarity with modern engineering practices (Agile, Lean, Scrum) and DevOps principles.
* High level of self-motivation, conceptual strength, and strong results orientation.
