    Your role in the team

    • You will be responsible for developing the firmware directly on the product and will see the impact of your work firsthand in the live system – at the heart of our electron microscopes.
    • They develop and expand functions in the firmware for signal processing and image generation of our electron microscopes.
    • You design and develop firmware for controlling complex microscope and electronics modules in close coordination with the hardware and software teams.
    • You develop high-performance control systems on ARM microcontrollers in C/C++ as well as on FPGA components and bring your solutions into industrial applications.
    • You integrate your firmware modules into the overall system and test them directly under the microscope – hands-on in the lab rather than just on paper.
    • They analyze, debug, and optimize firmware in a laboratory environment (e.g., with JTAG, oscilloscope, logic analyzer) to ensure robust, results-oriented solutions.
    • You create clear technical documentation for firmware functions and interfaces, enabling your team to build efficiently on your results.
