Project description

The role is a Munich-based engineering team supporting multiple internal laboratories and research groups. The engineer will work within a complex hardware-software ecosystem, helping scientists and engineers run experiments by connecting various physical devices and instruments to the company's internal platform. It is a continuous support and integration function across a broad and diverse range of ongoing experimental projects, from straightforward device connections to complex synchronization challenges.

Responsibilities

* Integrating new and existing hardware devices (e.g., linear stands, lab instruments) into the company's internal software ecosystem * Developing plugins and modules in C++ and Python(or Lua) to enable software control of hardware * Supporting laboratory engineers with software-side experiment setup and troubleshooting * Writing and maintaining integration scripts and tooling in Python or Lua * Participating in multiple parallel projects simultaneously, adapting to varying complexity levels * Collaborating closely with engineers and lab teams on a daily basis

SKILLS

Must have

* C++ with modern standards (C++20 and above) — strong, practical knowledge required * Scripting/integration language: Python or Lua (at least one) * Experience working with hardware interfaces or device integration * Version control: Git (or comparable system) * Basic understanding of unit and integration testing principles (e.g., Google Test or similar C++ testing tools) * Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with engineering teams * Readiness to learn new internal tools, workflows, and technologies * Location: Munich, or willingness to relocate to Munich

Nice to have

* Lua (beyond basic scripting knowledge) * Objective-C * Familiarity with hardware communication protocols * Experience with integration testing in hardware-adjacent environments * General awareness of DevOps principles (no hands-on DevOps work required — all tooling is internal and proprietary)
