C++ Embedded Software Engineer

Daedalean AG is the artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy hub of Destinus Group, a rapidly growing European defense and aerospace company developing the next generation of autonomous drones, effectors, and flight systems. Based in Zurich, the 100+ team develops safety-critical AI for aviation at the intersection of world-class research and real hardware. Its expertise spans computer vision, deep learning, and onboard reasoning – systems that can perceive the world, understand it, and make decisions in real time.

Your role:

• • Decompose system requirements into high-level software requirements including necessary information to fully specify what the resulting software should do, such as functional, performance and robustness constraints.
  • Design and document software architectures from requirements considering the hardware platform and need to be extensible and robust.
  • Define low-level software requirements, considering high-level requirements and architecture, to document how the software should be implemented.
  • Write simple, intuitive and maintainable source code.
  • Create test cases and procedures for both normal and robustness scenarios to fully verify that the software implementation meets the high-level and low-level requirements.
  • Perform analyses on the specification and implementation such as resource usage, traceability coverage, verification coverage and manual verification.
  • Support qualification of software tools by creating necessary artifacts to meet supporting guidance.

Requirements

• • At least 5 years of C++ embedded software engineering experience and proven applied engineering skills, in projects following well defined software development life cycles
  • Hands-on experience in software verification and writing requirement-based tests to break other people’s code
  • Experience writing accurate software documentation including requirements and architecture design descriptions
  • Very good working knowledge of standard modern software development tools
  • Demonstrated capability to constructively work in a team with continuous peer review activities

Benefits

• • A team of experienced engineers and researchers, who joined us from most recognized companies and institutions.
  • Difficult and interesting problems to solve.
  • Hybrid work setting.
  • Gym membership.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
