Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Your mission

We’re looking for an experienced and curious Embedded Software Engineer to join our Product & Engineering team. In this role, you’ll take ownership of our firmware and embedded systems — the core layer that powers Seroton’s unique relaxation experience.

You’ll work closely with the Co-Founder and collaborate with Hardware Production, Mobile Engineering and Product Experience. Part of a small, ambitious startup, you’ll have real impact from day one — shaping not just how our hardware works, but how our users feel.

If you enjoy building thoughtful products, working hands-on with hardware, and turning science-driven insights into real experiences, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Own Seroton’s embedded firmware stack end-to-end, from prototyping to testing to release and iteration
• Design and optimize embedded software for microcontroller-based systems with a focus on reliability and performance
• Develop and refine open- and closed-loop control systems for haptic and pneumatic actuation
• Build deep expertise in our SMA-based hardware and continuously improve system behavior
• Implement real-time sensor processing to enable interactive, user-facing experiences
• Option to contribute to future health-sensing algorithms for real-time mood and state tracking

Your profile

• Several years of experience in embedded software development on real, shipped products
• Comfort working at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and digital products
• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• A hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ownership, ambiguity, and fast iteration
• Curiosity for new technologies and digital product development
• A passion for building and creating, with confidence using AI tools in your daily workflow
• Clear communication skills and enjoyment of cross-functional collaboration

Why us?

• Hybrid work: Flexible mix of remote and on-site work in Munich.
• Growth opportunity: Take real ownership, gain hands-on experience, and grow alongside a small but ambitious product team.
• Impactful Work: Contribute to a product that directly enhances mental wellbeing and helps people experience calm in a new way.

We’re excited to meet ambitious minds like yours. Apply now and let's build something amazing together!
