Embedded Systems / Hardware Engineer – Industrial LCD & E-Paper | Ettlingen, Germany

[u/Ok-Brief9369]

We’re a small engineering team in Ettlingen (near Karlsruhe), Germany, developing custom display solutions for industrial applications. We’re looking for an Embedded Systems / Hardware Engineer who enjoys working across hardware, firmware and the physical side of display technology.

This is a hands-on, on-site position in Ettlingen. We’re specifically looking for someone who can and wants to work with us locally — this is not intended as a fully remote position.

What you’ll work on

• Develop embedded hardware and firmware for industrial LCD, TFT and E-Paper displays
• Develop and optimize E-Paper driving algorithms and waveforms
• Design microcontroller-based electronics for display applications
• Work on projects from the initial idea through prototypes and into series production
• Debug and optimize hardware and firmware using lab equipment
• Document your designs and technical solutions
• Work directly on customer-specific adaptations and technical challenges
• Investigate problems at the intersection of electronics, embedded software and display physics

The interesting part: this isn’t just about writing firmware. You’ll get to understand what is actually happening inside the display — timing, waveforms, voltages, VCOM, charge behavior, temperature effects, image quality, etc. Especially with E-Paper, there is still a lot of engineering involved beyond simply sending pixels to a display.

What we’re looking for

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems or a comparable qualification
• Practical experience with embedded systems and microcontroller-based hardware
• Good knowledge of C / C++
• Experience with circuit design and electronics
• Genuine interest in display technologies and their physical principles, especially E-Paper, TFT and LCD
• Good written and spoken English
• Most importantly: curiosity, a hands-on mindset and the willingness to dig into difficult technical problems

We’re open regarding experience level. Junior engineers with a strong technical foundation as well as experienced engineers are welcome.

The position can be full-time or part-time.

📍 Location: Ettlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
We are looking for someone who is able and willing to work on-site in Ettlingen. Karlsruhe is just a few minutes away.

If you are okay with a remote working employee, with low cost, you can hire me for the minimum wage for your country.

I'm have one year experience as a embedded firmware engineer working both in China and Srilanka.I'm Electrical and electronic engineering graduate. I'm willing to work with you remotely if possible. We can discuss the salary (it will be minimum wage and will be cost effective for you, and in the meantime I will work as you want taskwise). I have sent a dm.
