Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Device Software Lead to join our team in Horw, Switzerland. This is an onsite position, with the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days per week following the initial onboarding period.

As Device Software Lead, you will be the architect and driving force behind how Toradex turns strong hardware and BSP foundations into innovative, easy-to-use, and secure device enablement.

This is a senior technical and people leadership role (Lead / Principal / Director level) that combines:

• Deep Embedded Linux & Yocto expertise
• Line management responsibilities from day one 
• A strong innovation mandate 
• A visible thought leadership and external-facing component

You won’t just run the current playbook - you will evolve and reinvent how Toradex demonstrates industry-leadership in Device Software: from how we structure BSP and layers, to how we deliver reference images, to how customers experience our platform end-to-end.

This role is ideal for leaders who want to combine strategic architectural thinking, hands-on engineering, software product management for devices, and people management – shaping both the technology and the team that delivers it.

You’ll be a key voice in both what we build and how the world hears about it.

  • Smarter reuse of product building blocks to cover more use cases with less complexity 

  • Simplify advanced software features for the ease-of-use of the customer

• Define and maintain clear, future-proof boundaries across BSP, meta-layers and distros so we can move fast without creating chaos.

Drive Cross-Team Technical Strategy & Change

• Act as the technical counterpart and sparring partner for leaders in:

  • BSP / kernel

  • Security

  • Automation / CI

  • Product management Devices

  • Product Management Torizon OS

  • How we meet evolving security and regulatory demands

  • How we structure releases and long-term maintenance

  • How our device software strategy ties into Torizon and other offerings

• Turn strategy into concrete change:

  • Roadmaps

  • Design decisions

  • Technical guidelines others can follow

 Lead, Grow, and Inspire a High-Impact Team

• Be line manager from day one for the Device Software team:

  • Set a clear vision and direction

  • Provide coaching, feedback, and growth opportunities

  • Build a culture where innovation and shipping both matter

• Help attract and hire talented engineers who are excited by platform building and innovation.

Turn “Possible” into “Easy” – with New Ideas

• Own the vision for simplicity for the customer enablement on Toradex devices:

  • Secure boot and encryption that are safe, robust, and simple to adopt

  • Connectivity enablement where Wi‑Fi / BT / 4G/5G are not a project, but a capability

  • Reference images that are genuinely useful: easy to start from, easy to adapt for production

• Rethink and improve how developers experience our platform:

  • From first download, to first boot, to first secure, connected product

  • From Yocto experts to teams new to Embedded Linux

• Make sure innovation is visible and usable:

  • Back technical work with strong documentation, examples, and developer workflows.

Thought Leadership, Innovation & External Messaging

• Act as a thought leader for Toradex in the embedded software community:

  • Speak at conferences and webinars

  • Publish deep technical articles and architecture stories

  • Engage with partners and strategic customers on platform direction

• Bring outside-in thinking:

  • Track industry trends (e.g. security, regulatory, RT, connectivity, open-source tooling)

  • Distill what really matters for Toradex and our customers

  • Propose and drive new initiatives that keep us ahead of the curve

• Help shape a clear external narrative:

  • How Toradex makes Embedded Linux & Yocto easier

  • Why our approach to BSPs, layers, and enablement is different and better

  • How innovation in device software translates into real customer value

What Makes This Role Unique

• You will split your time between hands-on technical work, software product management for devices, architectural leadership, and team development.

• We expect you to lead from the front: designing, building, and mentoring—not just managing or advising.

What We Offer

• A senior, high-impact role where your ideas and leadership will shape how thousands of products are built on Toradex.
• The chance to combine deep engineering, people leadership, and innovation in one role.
• A hybrid workplace offering the flexibility of 1–2 days working from home each week, within a global, diverse engineering organization.
• A culture that values technical excellence, integrity, collaboration, and curiosity.
• Opportunities for external visibility and genuine thought leadership in Embedded Linux & Yocto.
