Join ORiS and help build the future of energy in space.

At ORiS, we are building the technologies that will power the next generation of space missions. Through laser-based wireless power transmission, we aim to overcome the energy limitations of today’s satellites and enable longer, more capable, and more resilient operations in orbit.

As a Senior Embedded/Firmware Engineer, you will own the architecture, implementation, and validation of low-level and real-time software connecting ORiS sensors, actuators, control algorithms, and computing platforms.

You will lead the development of reliable, deterministic, and maintainable software on microcontrollers, embedded processors, SoCs, and real-time platforms used in ORiS laser transmission systems such as LOONA.

What You Will Do

- Define firmware architecture, interfaces, execution models, coding practices, and verification strategy.

- Lead development of drivers, hardware-abstraction layers, acquisition pipelines, actuator control, communications, diagnostics, and calibration.

- Ensure deterministic timing, scheduling, interrupt, DMA, synchronization, data-integrity, and resource-management behaviour.

- Lead integration of control and perception algorithms into production embedded targets.

- Define watchdog, health-monitoring, fault-detection, safe-state, recovery, bootloader, update, and configuration strategies.

- Drive automated testing, HIL, regression, debugging, performance optimization, and release readiness.

- Resolve complex hardware/software issues with laboratory instrumentation and cross-functional teams.

- Mentor engineers and collaborate with Electronics, Control, Robotics, Optical, and Systems Engineering.

What We Are Looking For

- BSc or MSc in Computer,



Electrical, Electronics, Robotics, or Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field.

- 6+ years of relevant experience developing embedded or real-time software, including ownership of deployed systems.

- Expert C and strong C++ skills, with deep knowledge of RTOS, concurrency, drivers, hardware abstraction, and real-time constraints.

- Experience with MCU/SoC architectures, communication interfaces, testing, debugging, code review, and release processes.

- Strong understanding of timing, sampling, latency, numerical stability, reliability, and fault handling.

- Ability to make architecture decisions, lead technical work, mentor others, and communicate clearly in English.

Nice to Have

- Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ARM Cortex, DSPs, FPGA systems, motor control, SpaceWire, CCSDS, or RS-422.

- Secure boot and updates, FDIR, safety-critical systems, HIL, flight software, ECSS, space qualification, or aerospace development.

Why ORiS

- Work on innovative satellite missions and advanced space technologies

- Play a key role in shaping system-level decisions that directly impact mission success

- Collaborate with highly skilled engineers across multiple technical disciplines

- Gain exposure to cutting-edge space programs and emerging technologies

- Grow professionally within a fast-growing and ambitious space company

- Be part of a culture driven by innovation, ownership, and technical excellence

Our Offer

- Salary Range: €50,000 - €70,000

- EUR 1,000 per year in fringe benefits

- EUR 8 meal vouchers per working day

- Flexible lavoro da remoto arrangements, subject to project needs

- Stock option plan

If you want to help create the future of energy in space and contribute to technologies that could transform the way humanity operates beyond Earth, join ORiS.
