Embedded Firmware Developer (Agri-Tech / Sensor Systems) (m/f/d)

Job description

Who are we? At Stenon, we are on a mission to democratize soil data. As the global market leader in real-time soil analytics, we empower farmers with actionable insights to improve yield, crop quality, and soil health while reducing costs and environmental impact. To advance our next generation of soil sensing technology, we are looking for an Embedded Firmware Developer who can build the on-device software that turns hardware measurements into reliable data directly from the field. Position As an Embedded Software Engineer / Firmware Engineer , you will take ownership of Linux system development and microcontroller firmware for our soil sensor platform, and work closely as part of our Device Engineering Team. You will implement, optimize and maintain embedded Linux components alongside robust firmware for microcontrollers, ensuring reliable operation across the full device stack. Your work will involve interfacing SOC/SOM with our boards hosting different sorts of sensor, managing data acquisition, and enabling reliable communication between distributed system components under harsh outdoor conditions. You will collaborate with hardware, firmware and backend/cloud teams to bring integration concepts from prototype to production-ready devices. This includes ensuring stable system behavior, reliable Linux system image and firmware boiling down to robust device functionality. You will implement a robust Linux image as well as microcontroller firmware update mechanism. And with the use of Python, you will simplify complex problems. Tasks You will Develop and maintain embedded Linux systems using Yocto for ARM-based platforms (e.g. Raspberry Pi and similar SBCs) Configure, extend, and debug Yocto build environments, layers, and recipes Support and improve Linux-based system bring-up and debugging on new hardware Interface embedded Linux systems with microcontrollers Write firmware that runs on ARM Microcontrollers (e.g. STM32) Support on hardware related software development using Python Develop tooling for automation, testing, deployment, and diagnostics Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and backend/cloud teams Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving system architecture and maintainability Requirements You have Solid experience with Linux Distributions Practical experience with the Yocto Project (building images, modifying recipes, w…
