Our multidisciplinary project teams bring together hardware, software, and mechanical engineers to deliver complete solutions. This role centers on two core focus areas: developing embedded software on System-on-Module (SoM) platforms from various providers, and applying AI on embedded devices. You will work on consumer electronics, smart home, and smart devices built for mass production, with or without connectivity.\nTätigkeitsgebietYou take embedded software from architecture to deployment, working closely with electronics and mechanical colleagues throughout. Concretely:\nContribute to embedded software architecture and design within multidisciplinary project teams\nImplement firmware and software for microcontrollers and System-on-Modules (SoM) based consumer electronics products, across bare-metal and RTOS environments\nWork with SoMs from various providers ( , Kontron, Toradex), including embedded Linux\nIntegrate connectivity stacks (BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee/Thread)\nApply AI on embedded platforms: deploy pre-trained models for on-device inference (edge AI / Ti-nyML), integrate vendor AI/NPU SDKs for features such as voice, gesture, or presence detection, and structure sensor data pipelines feeding AI or cloud systems\nWrite and execute unit, integration, and system-level tests\nDebug issues across the hardware/software boundary, perform root cause analysis\nPrepare technical documentation: requirements, design notes, test reports\nCollaborate directly with customer engineering teams as part of project delivery\nWork independently on assigned projects, with mentorship from senior engineers\nAnforderungBSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field\nMinimum three years of professional experience in embedded software development\nStrong C/C++ programming skills on embedded systems\nPython programming skills\nPractical experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal environments\nExperience with embedded Linux ( , Yocto) on SoM platforms\nExperience integrating connectivity stacks ( , BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee/Thread)\nHands-on experience applying AI on embedded platforms\nNice to have\nelectronics knowledge (analog/digital circuits, reading schematics)\nknowledge of product compliance/safety standards ( , IEC 60335 or equivalent)\nexperience with specific edge AI frameworks ( , TensorFlow)\nexperience using LLM-assisted coding tools ( , GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) in a development workflow\nknowledge in RUST programming language\nWork independently, open to mentorship from senior engineers\nClear communicator across disciplines and with customers\nCurious, adapts quickly to new technologies\nFluent in English is required, German is a plus\nHelbling BenefitsProducts that matter: you shape devices that reach real users in markets worldwide. The hardware decisions you make today end up in production runs tomorrow.\nTechnical depth: every project brings new circuit challenges, new standards, and real constraints. No two are the same.\nInterdisciplinary teams: daily collaboration with experienced mechanical, firmware, and hardware specialists.\nRoom to grow: structured support for technical and professional development, with access to the broader Helbling network across disciplines.\nStraightforward workplace: flat structures, short decision paths, and a working environment where clever ideas move forward quickly.\nCentral Bern location: modern offices, easy to reach, with flexible working conditions and competitive, performance-based compensation.\nAre you interested?Send us your complete application, including cover letter, CV, and relevant references, exclusively via our applicant portal.\n\nPlease note that we only consider direct applications.
