Für einen Produkthersteller im Bereich Kamera- und Prüftechnologie im Bodenseekreis, Baden-Württemberg wird ein erfahrener Teamleiter / Lead Engineer Embedded Systems (m/w/d) gesucht. Diese Führungs- und Entwicklungsrolle verantwortet die fachliche Führung eines achtköpfigen Teams aus Embedded-Software- und Hardwareentwicklern — Steuerung von Entwicklungsprojekten von der Konzeption bis zur Serienüberführung, Ressourcen- und Terminplanung, Schnittstellenabstimmung mit Mechanik und Produktion, sowie Sicherstellung der Einhaltung relevanter Normen wie ATEX und EMV. Mit einem Hands-On-Anteil unter 50 % bleibt die Rolle technisch aktiv — must have: Studium Elektrotechnik, mehrjährige Embedded-Erfahrung (SW oder HW), systemübergreifendes HW/SW-Verständnis, erste Führungserfahrung. Nice to have: BLDC, Sensorik/Aktorik, EMV, ATEX.
About This Embedded Systems Lead Role — Kamera- und Prüftechnologie Bodenseekreis
Client Company: A product manufacturer in the field of camera and inspection technology — a technically sophisticated product environment where Embedded Systems (hardware and software combined) determine the functional performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance of complex imaging and inspection products
Team: Eight-person Embedded development team combining Embedded Software and Hardware Engineers — requiring a Teamleiter / Lead Engineer who can bridge both disciplines with the system-level understanding, technical credibility, and leadership capability that a mixed SW/HW Embedded team needs
Role Scope: Fachliche Teamführung of 8 Embedded SW/HW developers, project steering from Konzeption to Serienüberführung, Ressourcen- und Terminplanung, coordination with Mechanik and Produktion, ATEX and EMV compliance assurance, and occasional hands-on technical contribution (Hands-On Anteil under 50%)
Location: Bodenseekreis, Baden-Württemberg — one of Germany’s most attractive technology regions, with a high concentration of precision technology and Mittelstand product manufacturers on the shores of Lake Constance
Why This Teamleiter Embedded Systems Role Stands Out
Fachliche Führung mit Technischem Hands-On — Unter 50%: A genuine technical leadership role that keeps the Lead Engineer actively involved in solving real Embedded engineering problems — not a pure management position that removes an experienced developer from the technical work they are best at, but a balanced hybrid role where leadership and engineering expertise reinforce each other
Serienüberführung — Von Konzept bis Produktion: Full development lifecycle responsibility from initial concept through Serienüberführung — the complete product realisation scope that develops and demonstrates the end-to-end technical program management capability that distinguishes a senior Embedded Systems leader from a specialist developer
Kamera- & Prüftechnologie — Technisch Anspruchsvolles Produkt: Embedded Systems in camera and inspection technology combine demanding real-time processing, precision sensor interfacing, optical system integration, and stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements — a genuinely challenging and professionally stimulating product domain for an experienced Embedded engineer
Bodenseekreis — Premium Technology Region Baden-Württemberg: The Lake Constance region is one of Germany’s highest-quality living and working environments — a dense concentration of Mittelstand technology manufacturers, attractive salaries, excellent infrastructure, and the natural beauty of the Bodensee — making this an outstanding location for a senior Embedded technology career
Position Overview — Teamleiter / Lead Engineer Embedded Systems (m/w/d)
This Teamleiter / Lead Engineer Embedded Systems (m/w/d) at a camera and inspection technology product manufacturer in the Bodenseekreis leads an eight-person team of Embedded Software and Hardware Engineers — steers development projects from Konzeption through Serienüberführung — plans and prioritises tasks, resources, and deadlines — coordinates with Mechanik, Produktion, and internal/external interfaces — ensures compliance with relevant standards and quality requirements including ATEX and EMV — and contributes operationally to technical challenges at a Hands-On proportion of less than 50% — requiring a completed Elektrotechnik degree, mehrjährige Embedded SW or HW development experience, system-level HW/SW understanding, and initial leadership experience, with BLDC, Sensorik/Aktorik, and ATEX/EMV knowledge as valuable additions.
Why This Role Matters: As Teamleiter / Lead Engineer Embedded Systems at this Bodenseekreis camera and inspection technology company, the development projects you lead and the team you build determine whether the next generation of the company’s imaging and inspection products reaches series production on schedule, to specification, and with the embedded software reliability and hardware robustness that a product operating in demanding industrial inspection environments with stringent ATEX and EMV requirements genuinely needs. When your technical leadership of the embedded software developer working on the real-time image processing pipeline correctly identifies that the chosen RTOS task priority scheme will create a determinism problem under peak sensor data throughput conditions — three weeks before integration testing and far enough in advance to fix it cleanly, your Serienüberführung coordination with Produktion correctly flags that the PCB test fixture design for one of the hardware variants needs a rework to test a circuit that your hardware engineer has determined is the most likely field failure mode, or your resource prioritisation correctly protects the BLDC motor control developer from scope creep on a parallel project long enough for the drive system integration to reach the maturity gate before the planned validation window — you are not managing engineering tasks. You are protecting the technical integrity and commercial viability of complex embedded technology products that your company’s customers deploy in safety-critical inspection and imaging applications. That is the professional weight and genuine technical consequence of excellent Embedded Systems technical leadership in Bodenseekreis.
Key Responsibilities — Aufgaben
Fachliche Teamführung — 8-Köpfiges Embedded SW & HW Team
- Lead and develop a team of eight Embedded Software and Hardware Engineers — applying the technical credibility, professional empathy, and constructive leadership approach that fachliche Führung of a specialist Embedded development team requires, developing individual engineers’ technical capabilities, aligning team efforts to project priorities, and creating the professional environment in which eight motivated engineers produce their best collective technical work
- Bridge Embedded Software and Hardware disciplines — applying system-level understanding of how Embedded hardware and software interact, depend on each other, and affect each other’s design choices to facilitate the cross-disciplinary technical integration, shared understanding, and mutual support between SW and HW developers that well-functioning Embedded product teams need
- Provide hands-on technical contribution to challenging engineering questions — maintaining active personal engagement with the technical problems that the team encounters at a Hands-On proportion of less than 50%, with the right balance between leadership delegation and technical participation that keeps the Lead Engineer genuinely credible and useful without becoming a bottleneck
Projektsteuerung — Konzeption bis Serienüberführung
- Steer Embedded development projects from initial concept through to Serienüberführung — managing the complete embedded product development lifecycle from requirements analysis and architectural concept through hardware design, firmware development, integration, validation, and the handover to series production that Serienüberführung represents, with the programme management rigor and cross-functional coordination that complex Embedded product development demands
- Plan and prioritise tasks, resources, and deadlines — developing and maintaining the engineering plans, resource allocations, and milestone schedules that keep eight developers’ work coordinated, visible, and aligned with the project’s critical path, with the planning judgement and adaptive prioritisation that Embedded development projects require when technical uncertainties resolve differently than anticipated
- Coordinate with Mechanik, Produktion, and other internal and external interfaces — managing the multi-disciplinary and multi-function interfaces that camera and inspection technology product development generates, ensuring that the Embedded hardware and software development is always aware of and appropriately influencing the mechanical, production, and test constraints that will ultimately determine whether the product can be manufactured reliably and tested efficiently at series volumes
Normen, Qualität & Compliance — ATEX & EMV
- Ensure compliance with relevant standards and quality requirements — particularly ATEX (explosion protection directive for products used in potentially explosive atmospheres) and EMV (electromagnetic compatibility) — applying the normative knowledge and systematic compliance management that products deployed in demanding industrial environments with regulatory certification requirements demand throughout the development process, not just at the end
- Apply and develop expertise in BLDC motor control (Antriebstechnik), Sensorik, and Aktorik — contributing domain knowledge in brushless DC motor drive systems and the sensor and actuator interfaces that camera and inspection technology products incorporate, either personally or by developing this expertise within the team through technical coaching and structured knowledge sharing
- Maintain Embedded development quality across the team — establishing and upholding the code review practices, hardware design review processes, verification methodologies, and documentation standards that ensure the embedded software and hardware delivered by all eight team members meets the quality bar that a regulated, safety-relevant industrial inspection product requires
