Embedded Systems Engineer

Omnisent is pioneering scalable acoustic sensing powered by AI — transforming audio into real-time intelligence.

We build hardware software tailored for acoustic data, designed to extract insights from complex acoustic signals. Our proprietary ultra-low-power sonic devices capture and process acoustic signals in real-time, training what we call a Large Acoustic Model (LAM) — our foundation model built to decode the rich, messy, and untapped world of non-speech audio.

We’re starting with the manufacturing industry, applying our tech to compressed air systems — one of the most overlooked sources of energy waste. From there, we’re expanding into energy, defense, space, and smart cities — sectors where sound is the next frontier.

Embedded Systems Design & Development

• Architect, develop, and test embedded firmware to translate detection algorithms and operating procedures for our sensor platform (sensor gateway) for embedded microcontrollers.


• Design and implement software drivers, communication protocols (e.g., SPI, I²C, UART, CAN), and peripheral interfaces (including GPS, data storage, ADC) to ensure efficient device operation.


• Optimize code for performance, data-compression, power efficiency, and reliability across various operating conditions and harsh environmental conditions.

Hardware & System Integration

• Collaborate with hardware, mechanical, and signal processing teams to integrate embedded systems with PCBs, sensor interfaces, and communication modules.


• Design and implement test routines to validate the reliability and responsiveness of the sensors in-field at our pilots facilities.


• Support the prototyping process by refining hardware/software integration during rapid product iterations.

Debugging, Testing & Documentation

• Lead debugging efforts using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers; identify and resolve integration issues to ensure robust performance.


• Prepare and document test procedures, results, and revisions during the system lifecycle.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with electronic, AI, and mechanical teams to iterate on system improvements and adapt to evolving project requirements.


• Contribute to developing best practices and design documentation, ensuring that knowledge is continuously shared among teams.


• Assist in coordinating with research labs and third-party test facilities to validate findings and translate research into practical embedded solutions.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field, or 2 years of relevant industry experience.


• 2 years of experience in embedded systems design, firmware development, or hardware/software integration.


• Proficiency in embedded C/C programming, and familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and low-level hardware debugging tools.


• Experience with integrated development environments (IDEs), version control systems (e.g., Git), and embedded development tools.


• Strong analytical skills and a sound understanding of hardware interfacing, digital signal processing, and communication protocols.


• Fluency in English


• Valid EU work permit

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.


• 4 years of experience in developing embedded systems in industrial, automotive, or IoT applications.


• Familiarity with low-power design techniques and optimizing for energy efficiency in embedded applications.


• Experience working with modern connectivity solutions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, or cellular technologies in an embedded context.


• Knowledge of compliance and certification requirements for electronic systems (e.g., FCC, CE, IP ratings).


• Experience with hardware simulation and debugging tools, such as JTAG, SWD, or logic analyzers.


• German language skills.
