Embedded Firmware Engineer

KP Labs Sp. z o.o. GLIWICE 2026-09-15

What we expect:

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electronics, Automatic Control, Telecommunications or a related technical field. 
  • Commercial experience with firmware for microcontrollers, bare metal or under an RTOS, developed against real hardware. 
  • Practical knowledge of C++14 or newer, including the standard library. 
  • Knowledge of real-time operating systems: tasks and scheduling, synchronisation primitives, interrupt handling, stack and priority assignment. 
  • Python for test and bench tooling. 
  • Understanding of microcontroller peripherals and data buses (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN) and the ability to read a schematic and a component datasheet. 
  • Debugging skills on real hardware: JTAG debugger, logic analyzer, oscilloscope. 
  • Experience with a build system and version control: CMake, Git. 
  • Ability to write unit tests for embedded code. 
  • English sufficient to read documentation and standards, write technical documentation and take part in technical discussions with customers. 
  • Availability to work from our Gliwice office every Tuesday. 

Nice to have:

  • Low-level work on any 32-bit microcontroller architecture: startup code, linker scripts, interrupt controllers, MPU and cache handling. 
  • Familiarity with ECSS, CCSDS or other space industry standards, or with functional safety standards from another regulated industry. 
  • Experience with bootloaders, firmware update mechanisms and image integrity checking. 
  • Conan or another C++ package manager, and Jenkins or another CI system. 
  • Target emulation with QEMU, or hardware-in-the-loop test setups. 
  • Static analysis, MISRA or another coding standard applied in a real project. 

What we offer:

  • Work with world-class companies and institutions on the cutting-edge space industry.
  • Challenging projects that have the potential to change the industry.
  • Supportive environment and opportunities to learn new exciting things.
  • Opportunity to attend the biggest global events related to the space industry.
  • The opportunity to gain experience with support from the best specialists in the field.
  • Flexible working hours and remote work option.
  • A variety of perks to choose from (sports cards, private healthcare, fuel cards, foreign language lessons).

We believe in a “human” approach to work and care about work-life balance. Additionally, one of our biggest assets is our attention to mutual support and exchange of knowledge at work.
