Embedded Software Engineer

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.
