A Swissbit more you.

As part of our R&D team, you will work at the heart of our product development, shaping the firmware that drives next-generation PCIe/NVMe storage controllers — from architecture and bring-up through to production release.

Your mission

And if you’d like to bring additional talent on board right away, we’d be happy to integrate you and your team—primarily at our Dresden location.

Dresden is a new location for us, but we see excellent opportunities there to further expand our networked development activities. The proximity to our development and production site in Berlin is an added advantage.

Exciting tasks are waiting for you

Develop, implement, and maintain firmware for PCIe/NVMe storage controllers across the full product lifecycle
Design and own low-level drivers, hardware abstraction layers (HAL), and performance-critical firmware subsystems
Optimize device-level latency, throughput, and power efficiency for PCIe/NVMe targets
Debug complex cross-layer issues spanning firmware, drivers, and hardware using logic analyzers, JTAG, and protocol analyzers
Collaborate with hardware engineers and validation teams
Ensure strict compliance with NVMe, PCIe, and related storage standards
Contribute actively to architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical documentation
Support hardware bring-up for new platforms, EVT/DVT prototypes, and reference designs
Participate in code reviews, static analysis, and continuous improvement of development processes

Your profile

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field
Strong hands-on experience in embedded firmware development in C
Solid understanding of PCIe architecture, NVMe protocol, and storage device internals (flash management, wear leveling, ECC)
Practical knowledge of BareMetal firmware, but also RTOS environments and embedded systems debugging
Familiarity with ARM or RISC-V processor architectures
Experience with DMA engines, interrupt controllers, memory-mapped I/O, and hardware register interfaces
Proficiency with standard firmware development toolchains: compilers (GCC/LLVM), JTAG debuggers, version control (Git), and static analysis tools
Strong analytical and debugging skills for complex multi-layer hardware/software problems
Good communication skills in English; German is a plus
Experience with flash memory systems (NAND flash, FTL design, LDPC/BCH ECC)
Background in security firmware, HSM integration, or Secure Boot Concepts
Familiarity with UFS, SATA, or SD/eMMC protocols
Experience in industrial, automotive, or defense-grade embedded environments (IEC 61508, DO-178C)
Contributions to open-source firmware or embedded projects
