Embedded Linux & Release Engineer (m/f/d)

Quantum Systems is a leading European deep-tech company for unmanned systems across air, land and maritime domains. We develop and scale integrated hardware, software and AI-powered solutions for mission-critical operations. By combining autonomous platforms with intelligent software and AI, Quantum Systems enables customers to operate, understand and act across domains.

About the role:

A high-performance interceptor is only as reliable as the platform it runs on. You will own the path from a defined software release to a secure, updated and operational aircraft—working hands-on with NVIDIA Jetson, embedded Linux and real flight hardware.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Build and maintain Jetson Linux images, system configurations, device trees and driver integrations.

• Develop deployment tooling for development, SITL/HITL, flight test, production and operational systems.

• Own over-the-air updates, including validation, rollback and recovery under unreliable connectivity.

• Maintain release manifests and traceability between source code, artifacts, configurations and deployed devices.

• Establish secure software delivery through signed releases, protected keys and hardened configurations.

• Integrate cameras, sensors and radios, and debug issues across Linux, software, networking and hardware.

What you bring to the team:

You do not need to check every box. We are looking for strong fundamentals, hands-on ability and real ownership.

• Hands-on experience with embedded Linux or Linux-based robotics, automotive or aerospace systems.

• Experience with release automation, CI/CD or device provisioning, plus strong Python, Bash or C/C++ skills.

• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson, device trees, drivers or hardware integration.

• Energy, speed and the determination to drive difficult problems to root cause—even under pressure.

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you dont meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
