A leading specialist in display, touch, embedded, monitor, and panel PC solutions, is seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer (C++) for a contract role supporting a key industrial HMI project.

MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENT: Freelance work-permit in Germany

"Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur selbstständigen Tätigkeit" (residence permit for self-employment) "Freiberufler Visa" (freelance visa)

Location: Onsite in Weikersheim (near Stuttgart and Nuremberg)

Start Date: June, 2025

Duration: 3 months, 250 hours total

Languages: English and German

Interviews: Asap

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop embedded C++ software for custom industrial display and HMI platforms
• Perform onsite hardware testing and debugging with proprietary equipment
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and adapt to a fragmented, irregular schedule
• Support a minor internal Qt-based configuration/testing tool (Qt knowledge is a plus, not a must)
• Use modern toolchains in a Linux-based development environment (Git, CMake, Qt Creator, Segger)

Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of C++ (C++11–C++17) experience, preferably in embedded or real-time systems
• Strong skills in low-level, hardware-near programming
• Proficient in object-oriented programming and modular software design
• Experience working in Linux environments
• Comfortable with tools like Git, CMake, Jenkins, and Makefiles

Important Notes:

• Project schedule is dependent on external partners, so work may be paused between phases (ranging from 1-day to 1-week gaps)
• Candidates must be able to manage non-continuous work and switch contexts efficiently
• Onsite presence is required due to the nature of the hardware

This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned embedded developer seeking a short-term engagement with complex hardware and a high degree of technical autonomy.
