Senior Embedded Software Engineer / Senior Firmware Engineer (m/f/x)

About Us

We are a semiconductor startup based in Dresden, Germany – the heart of Silicon Saxony – developing a new, non-mobile 5G mobile communication chipset that enables secure, massive IoT use cases.

Driven by the vision of a future where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, encompassing homes, industries, public spaces, and healthcare, we strive to optimize resource and energy consumption while building global digital sovereignty. To realize this vision, we are actively developing a cost-effective and extremely low-power 5G mobile communication chipset based on the revolutionary NR+ standard for non-mobile private 5G.
