A Swissbit more you.

Shape the future with us! Swissbit is the leading European manufacturer of storage and security solutions for demanding applications. Headquartered in Switzerland, with development and production facilities at several locations in Germany, we develop and manufacture flash storage solutions, security tokens, and embedded computing modules that meet the highest standards of reliability, durability, and data protection. Our customers operate in the fields of industrial automation, transportation, medical technology, defense, and data center infrastructure.

As part of our R&D team, you will work at the heart of our product development, shaping the firmware that governs next-generation PCIe/NVMe storage controllers – from architecture and commissioning to mass production release.

Your mission

We are looking for an experienced Firmware Engineer to join our Storage Controller team. You will be responsible for firmware modules for PCIe/NVMe controllers, working across the entire stack – from hardware abstraction and low-level drivers to performance optimization and standards compliance. This is a hands-on engineering position requiring a high level of technical expertise and close collaboration with the hardware, validation, and systems engineering teams.

If you have additional talents to bring with you, we are 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 await you

• Development, implementation and maintenance of firmware for PCIe/NVMe storage controllers throughout the entire product lifecycle
• Development and responsibility for low-level drivers, Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and performance-critical firmware subsystems
• Optimization of latency, throughput, and energy efficiency at the device level for PCIe/NVMe target systems
• Troubleshooting complex, cross-layer problems – involving firmware, drivers, and hardware – using Logic Analyzer, JTAG, and Protocol Analyzer.
• Collaboration with hardware engineers and validation teams
• Ensuring strict compliance with NVMe, PCIe and related storage standards
• Active participation in architectural reviews, design discussions, and the creation of technical documentation.
• Hardware commissioning support for new platforms, EVT/DVT prototypes and reference designs.
• Participation in code reviews, statistical analyses, and the continuous improvement of development processes
