Your role in the team
- As a Senior Hardware Developer / Platform Engineer (m/f/d), you will go beyond traditional hardware design and take ownership of the entire hardware platform foundation of our products.
- Rather than developing individual electronic components, you will focus on evaluating, integrating, validating, and optimizing complex platform architectures built around compute, networking, storage, video processing, and operating systems.
- Own and evolve the COTS hardware platform foundation for RIEDEL's live video production systems used worldwide.
- Evaluate, qualify, and optimize system architectures and interactions between compute (CPU/GPU), video, networking, storage, operating systems, and application workloads.
- Translate product and software requirements into high-performance, reliable, ruggedized, and manufacturable platform solutions.
- Configure and optimize Windows and Linux systems for demanding real-time video and audio workloads, including SMPTE ST 2110 environments.
- Define and execute qualification strategies for performance, thermal behavior, reliability, and lifecycle readiness.
- Develop and maintain validated platform configurations, system images, firmware baselines, and deployment standards.
- Drive hardware lifecycle management, component selection, supplier alignment, and platform transition strategies.
- Act as the technical expert for platform hardware, collaborating closely with Product Management, Software Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, and Quality teams.
Our expectations of you
Education
- A university degree in a technical discipline or relevant vocational training combined with professional experience.

- Strong understanding of system architectures and the interaction between compute (CPU/GPU), audio, networking, storage, operating systems, and application workloads.
- Proven ability to analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and optimize Windows and/or Linux platforms.
- Background in product engineering, IT infrastructure, broadcast technology, high-performance computing, embedded systems, or similar performance-critical environments.
- Fluent English and local language skills, e.g. German or French, combined with a collaborative, hands-on mindset and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.
Experience
- Several years of experience as a Hardware Developer, System Engineer, Platform Engineer, or in a comparable role working with complex PC, server, embedded, or industrial hardware platforms.
- Experience documenting technical findings and converting them into robust, reproducible engineering solutions.
