Is emmtrix only interesting for compiler developers?

No. Compiler expertise is central to our work, but we also work across embedded systems, static analysis, performance estimation, vectorization, AI/ML deployment and software tooling. Different backgrounds can be relevant.

Do I need embedded AI experience before joining?

Not necessarily. What matters more is the willingness to understand technical systems deeply and work through complex topics carefully.

Is emmtrix relevant for working students and thesis topics in Karlsruhe?

Yes. Students have worked on practical and research-related software topics at emmtrix, often close to KIT and real engineering use cases. For people who want to connect theory with practical software development, this can be a strong fit.

Are there opportunities at emmtrix outside software engineering?

Yes. Product, marketing, sales, operations and backoffice roles can also be a strong fit, especially for people who want to work close to technical substance rather than in a generic software environment.

What makes emmtrix different from other software employers in Karlsruhe?

emmtrix works in a specialized field: software tools for embedded systems, compiler technology, code transformation, performance optimization, AURIX™ TC4x PPU workflows and embedded AI. For people who want to work below the surface of software, that makes the environment different from many standard software roles.

Isolated C++ Unit Testing Can Get Blocked Before the Actual Test Logic Starts

Generating C++ Unit Tests Faster: Razorcat integrates emmtrix Link Stubbing Technology into TESSY

When testing individual C++ translation units, missing dependencies can lead to unresolved symbols at link time. Compared to C, this becomes more complex with constructors, destructors, inheritance, virtual functions, templates, standard library types, and global objects.

For Razorcat Development GmbH, we developed the emmtrix Link Stubber, a Clang-based tool that automatically generates stub implementations for unresolved C and C++ symbols.

The technology is now integrated into TESSY, Razorcat’s unit and integration testing tool for C/C++ software, where it reduces recurring manual setup work when creating isolated C++ unit tests.

This project shows where compiler-based tooling can make a practical difference: by addressing link-time obstacles that otherwise increase the setup effort for isolated C++ unit tests.
