**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.
**Responsibilities:**
- 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
**Position is open to both early-career and senior engineers.**
