We are looking for a Principal Engineer based in Germany, to strengthen Critical Software's presence in the Aerospace, Space & Defense (ASD) market.
This is a role for someone who has spent 10+ years deep in safety-critical engineering and is ready to bring that expertise directly in front of clients.
Think technical authority combined with the ability to identify opportunities, shape solutions, and win trust from day one.
You won't just deliver technical work; you'll be the face of our safety-critical expertise to the client, spotting problems before they become issues and positioning Critical Software as the partner of choice.
We invest in the people who make it all possible. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Every day we work on missions across industries as diverse as aerospace, space, defence, transport, telecoms, government, energy, finance, and healthcare. Building better and safer isn’t a slogan. It’s how we show up in the world.
Critical Software is a proud Benefit Corporation: a for-profit business legally committed to positive impact on society, workers, the community, and the environment - in addition to profit.
We are an equal opportunity workplace. If you need any adjustment in your recruitment process to show us what you can do, please let us know.
By applying to a position at Critical Software, you are deemed to have accepted our Privacy Policy.
At Critical Software, we believe our people are the core of who we are. Their talent, diversity, and ability to go beyond expectations shape everything we do.
Working at Critical is about being part of a community built on purpose, values, and collaboration. Our commitment to engineering excellence makes us a trusted partner for some of the world’s leading companies in Aerospace, Railway, Medical Systems, Energy, Finance, and many more.
We believe that technology is nothing without a passion to use it for good. That’s why we engineer change, helping to build a better and safer world through trusted and transformative technologies.
Since 1998, we’ve helped companies in global industries like aerospace, transport, energy, healthcare and finance. Across the world, people and organisations depend on what we do. And we like that. Because it means that technology isn’t just our business. It’s our chance to help change the world.
More than a company, we are a community. Our togetherness, culture and values are the foundations of who we are and what we do. We are proud to hold Benefit Corporation status, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, transparency, and business for good. We’re also one of only a few tech companies in the world to have both our waterfall and agile software development processes rated at CMMI® Level 5.
Just as important as our technical expertise is our strong company culture, which guides us in everything we do. We’re recruiting for all of our locations right now and, if you’d like to find out more, please take a look at the careers section of our website.
