No downtime. No compromise.\nWe don't buy in black-box components and stitch them together. We design our own hardware and software end to end - from the antenna system, through secure boot and the Linux/RTOS stack, all the way to the application layer our operators depend on in the field. The team is small enough that everyone's fingerprints are on the final product: your kernel patch, your driver, your security decision ends up in a terminal deployed somewhere it actually matters.\nWe're looking for an experienced embedded systems developer ready to also step into a tech lead role for a team of 7 engineers - someone who wants deep technical ownership and the chance to shape how a team works, reporting into and working closely with our CTO.\nKey Responsibilities\nYou'll work across the full stack we own - from bootloader to application software to the update pipeline that keeps devices secure in the field - with the autonomy to make real architectural decisions.\nDesign and maintain our Yocto-based Linux distribution for ARM devices - kernel, user-space, and bootloader\n\nDevelop and maintain device tree configurations and drivers, integrating a wide range of peripherals and hardware interfaces.\n\nDevelop real-time applications that run on dedicated microcontrollers using Zephyr RTOS, and implement the interface with the Linux system.\n\nDesign and develop the application software layer using Rust.\n\nImplement and maintain OTA update infrastructure - safe updates, rollback mechanisms, long-term maintainability of devices in the field.\n\nDesign and maintain the boot chain and secure boot architecture, ensuring trusted firmware execution and reliable device startup.\n\nDesign, implement, and operate CI/CD pipelines for firmware build, test, and release.\n\nTroubleshoot system-level issues across hardware, kernel, and OS layers.\n\nDesign and maintain the assembly-line flashing and provisioning system - automated firmware flashing, device identity provisioning, factory diagnostics.\n\nWork closely with the CTO to prioritize roadmaps and lead the team's technical direction.\n\nWork closely with hardware engineers on board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nB.Sc. / M.Sc. Computer Science or comparable\n\nExtensive experience working with embedded architectures, including cross-compilation, debugging, and performance optimization.\n\nStrong knowledge of Yocto, the Linux kernel, embedded device drivers, device tree configuration and u-boot.\n\nExperience with real-time systems and RTOS (e.g. Zephyr).\n\nStrong experience in Rust and/or C.\n\nExperience with GNU tools, Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, systemd and Docker.\n\nKnowledge of OTA updates (e.g. ostree).\n\nSolid networking fundamentals - IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, VPNs, and hardware-layer interfaces\n\nStrong embedded security knowledge, such as secure boot on embedded devices, boot chain verification, and encryption mechanisms.\n\nExperience with low-level communication interfaces, such as I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN bus.\n\nA product-oriented mindset, with an eagerness to drive forward project initiatives\n\nKnowledge of the latest software architecture principles and practices in embedded software\n\nIt would be beneficial if you also have\nExperience with NXP i.MX8 platforms and their associated BSP packages\n\nPrevious contributions to open-source projects, especially in the Linux ecosystem.\n\nExperience with Cl/CD systems, such as Jenkins, GitHub actions, GitLab Cl.\n\nWho we think you are\nWe believe that you are a go-to-person in the team where you work today or have worked previously. Your colleagues always trust you to come with additional perspectives on problems and you tend to be the leader of the technical challenges.\nYou communicate easily with people with different experience and background and handle giving and receiving personal feedback already but wish to develop your leadership skills further.\nYou communicate fluently in English. Swedish is a bonus, not a requirement.\nWhat we offer\nAn opportunity to work with very interesting technology in a small, senior team, where your contributions are critical. Our work culture is based on trusting our employees to being engaged in meeting our customers’ needs and delivering best in class products. We are a growing team of highly competent and friendly colleagues, and we focus on creating a nice and warm atmosphere in the office where you should be able to grow both personally and professionally.\nSatcube is located at Kungsgatan in Göteborg. We believe in being innovative together and therefore we are looking for candidates that are already based in Gothenburg. If you are not, please specify both if you are willing to relocate and the time-frame required.\nAbout the recruitment process\nIf you think you would be a match for this position, please apply by the 30th of August at the latest. As a final candidate, you can expect us to conduct thorough background checks, to secure the information security of our clients.\nVisit www.satcube.com to read more about the company and our solutions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5242,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":7,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Satellite Communications"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-10T19:31:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.137,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":68,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/satcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/satcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T08:09:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12845,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2516212},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2516212"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsatcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsatcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsatcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/satcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsatcube-experienced-embedded-developer-to-satcube"}]}
