About the Role
As the lead software engineer, working directly alongside the CTO, you will own the build of Coera's core safety intelligence platform from first commit through first certified release.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build the core of coera's safety intelligence platform, from runtime up through integration and tooling.
- Ship the first certifiable release to the first customer deployment, against a functional safety assessment (SIL2 / PLd) under EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230.
- Set the engineering practices and toolchain the rest of the team inherits: MISRA and AUTOSAR discipline, static analysis, CI, simulation-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, telemetry, observability.
- Work closely with the QNX RTOS, safety, and cybersecurity engineers to make coera's first product certifiable end to end.
- Own the boundary between product and integration.
- Make the right call on what coera builds, what it buys, and what it leaves behind.
- Attract and shape the next hires on the core engineering team.
Requirements
- A track record of shipping production systems software, with at least one stint setting technical direction at an early-stage or deep-tech company.
- Production C++17+ at senior level.
- Deterministic real-time fluency on embedded Linux, PREEMPT_RT, or an RTOS (QNX, VxWorks, Zephyr).
- MISRA C / MISRA C++ / AUTOSAR C++14 discipline.
- Hands-on with at least one of Polyspace, Helix QAC, LDRA, Parasoft C/C++test, or Vector CAST.
- Safety-critical lifecycle fluency: V-model, FMEA / FMEDA, FTA, traceability, evidence packaging.
- End-to-end platform chops: CMake, CI, containerisation, simulation-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, telemetry, observability.
- Shipped software to a functional safety assessment (SIL2, PLd, or ASIL-B) to notified-body sign-off, with your signature on the safety case.
- Multimodal sensor fusion fundamentals: stereo depth, time-of-flight, LWIR thermal; Kalman / EKF / UKF; intrinsic and extrinsic calibration; time sync.
- CUDA / Jetson deployment for safety-classified workloads, or equivalent on automotive-grade SoCs (Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, NVIDIA DRIVE, NXP S32, Renesas R-Car).
- Founding or hire-#1 experience at a previous deep-tech startup, ideally one that reached Series A on the platform you built.
- Formal methods or deterministic runtime literacy: Frama-C, model-checked code.
- Open-source contributions that other engineers actually use.
- German or Farsi in addition to English.

About the Company
- Coera is building the universal safety intelligence layer for human-robot coexistence, redefining what safety means in the age of physical AI.
- Robotics is advancing faster than the safety systems meant to support it.
- Coera closes that gap with multimodal sensing and deterministic guardrails: retrofittable, embeddable, controller-agnostic.
- Safety is not a checkpoint or a constraint. It is the capability that lets intelligent machines operate freely wherever people do.
Equal Opportunity
- We hire on the strength of the work.
- We do not discriminate on the basis of ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual identity, or anything else unrelated to the job.
- We explicitly welcome applications from people with disabilities and give them equal consideration.
