The posting

Your mission

The future of AI computing is light, not electrons. At Q.ANT, we are building photonic processing systems that compute with light—delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and high-performance computing.

As Senior Embedded Linux Engineer (m/f/d), you take technical ownership of our embedded Linux stack: from custom Linux images and kernel/device drivers to production-ready field deployments. You'll work with technologies such as Yocto, PetaLinux, and Zephyr RTOS, actively shaping the interface between photonic hardware and software.

Your Impact & Responsibilities

  • Define and own the in-house embedded Linux stack and embedded software for our photonic AI accelerators
  • Develop and maintain custom Linux images (Yocto/PetaLinux) as well as kernel and device drivers
  • Interface on-chip and off-chip components via MMIO, AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C, and UART under real-time requirements
  • Define and develop host-Linux-based components, including Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) tasks in the Linux host system
  • Establish best practices, tools, and methods for building custom Linux and embedded software solutions
  • Coach and develop junior and mid-level engineers
  • Collaborate closely with R&D software engineers, processor architects, and digital design engineers
  • Ensure successful bring-ups and field deployments

Your profile

  • M.Sc./M.Eng. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field; equivalent industry experience also considered
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building custom Linux images and device drivers
  • 3+ years of experience in low-level software development and RTOS
  • Deep understanding of the Linux build system
  • Hands-on experience interfacing on-chip and off-chip components via MMIO, AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C, UART
  • Understanding of services design in a Linux environment
  • Solid command of C/C++ and Python; experience with Yocto and/or PetaLinux
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and agile development methodology.

Why us?

  • Work on the leading edge: Photonic AI acceleration technologies that will define the next decade of computing - already validated in production HPC environments
  • Make impact at scale: Help solve one of computing's biggest challenges—making growing demand in compute and sustainability go hand in hand
  • Own your work from day one: Broad autonomy and decision authority with direct impact on product success and the future of AI infrastructure
  • Fast-track your growth: Work on challenges with few industry precedents—every problem you solve becomes new institutional knowledge and potentially industry-defining IP
  • World-class team: Collaborate alongside a passionate, international, cross-functional team of experts in photonics, processor design, and AI systems
  • Direct access to leadership: Work closely with the company’s founders, including CEO Dr. Michael Förtsch, and the Q.ANT senior leadership team
  • Collaborative culture: Innovative work environment that values technical excellence, open communication, and pragmatic problem-solving
  • Be part of history: Join at the inflection point where photonic computing transitions from research to mainstream—your contributions will shape this transformation

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
