Quantum Systems develops autonomous, multi-domain systems that operate in the air, on the ground and on the water. Behind every platform is software that has to work reliably in the real world, with limited resources, unreliable connectivity and no second chances.
We are looking for software engineers who like to build exactly that kind of software in Rust and C++. You will join our engineering organization and work on production code that runs on real vehicles and sensors, across a broad range of challenges from low-level systems to scalable services.
We are looking for engineers who quickly understand a complex system and its domain, and who use that understanding to get leverage: designing the architecture, setting the guardrails and guiding several AI agents at once to build, test and iterate faster, while taking full responsibility for the result.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Build and maintain production-grade software in Rust and C++ for autonomous platforms and the systems around them.

• Design performant, fault-tolerant components that run on embedded Linux, edge hardware and in the cloud.

• Develop communication layers, data pipelines and real-time processing for sensor-driven, distributed systems.

• Work with hardware and robotics engineers to get software from simulation and test benches onto real vehicles.

• Use AI agents as part of your daily engineering workflow: break down problems, run several agents in parallel, review their output critically and make sure it meets our quality and safety standards.

• Own your code end to end: design, review, testing, deployment and troubleshooting of systems in the field.

• Shape architecture decisions and help raise engineering standards in a growing team.

What you bring to the team:

• Several years of professional experience (ideally 4+) building software in Rust and/or C++, including production code.

• A strong foundation in systems programming: concurrency, memory and resource management, networking and performance tuning.

• The ability to understand a complex system and its domain quickly, and to translate that understanding into clear architecture and well-scoped tasks.

• Hands-on experience working with AI coding agents, or the curiosity and drive to build that skill fast, including the judgment to verify and correct what they produce.

• Day-to-day experience with Linux as a development and target environment.

• Experience with distributed, real-time or performance-critical systems.

• A solid testing mindset, from unit tests to hardware-in-the-loop or simulation.

• Clear communication and the ability to work independently in a fast-moving, interdisciplinary environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with robotics, autonomy or sensor integration.

• Experience setting up agent-based workflows, such as parallel agents, automated test and review loops or custom tooling around coding agents.

• Embedded or real-time experience (RTOS, bare metal, firmware).

• Familiarity with ROS 2 or simulation frameworks.

• Knowledge of communication protocols and low-latency data transport.

• Experience with containers, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure.

Our benefits:

• Company pension scheme: We support you so that you can already make provisions for later.

• Flexible working hours: With trust-based working hours, you are not only responsible for your working hours, but also for your work-life balance.

• Mobile Work: If things get a little busy in the office, you have the option to work remotely one flexible day per week to create the right balance.

• Stay active: With EGYM Wellpass, you get access to thousands of fitness and sports facilities — and of course, we subsidize the membership.

• Bike-Leasing: We support you in staying environmentally mobile and healthy.

• Corporate Benefits: Your opportunity for attractive offers and discounts from well-known suppliers and brands, e.g. Adidas, Apple, Expedia.

• Employee events: We not only want to grow together, but also celebrate our successes together.

• Lunch-Card: Be powerful with delicious energy, daily lunch budget is sponsored.

• Company Shuttle: Enjoy our convenient shuttle service that picks you up from Laim in Munich and brings you to our location, with return trips at the end of the workday.
