The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:
You will be part of the Synopsys Non-volatile Memory (NVM) group, working on technology nodes from 250nm to 2nm, including planar, fins, and other semiconductor processes. This team is dedicated to developing IP that is essential to the semiconductor industry, ensuring high-quality and reliable chip designs through rigorous testing and qualification in FABS across the globe.
What You’ll Need:
A minimum of 5+ years of related experience in ASIC Physical Design.
Proficiency in state-of-the-art CAD tools such as DC, PT, ICC2/FC, and ICV.
Experience with advanced technologies like FinFet.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to autonomously resolve a wide range of issues.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Collaborate with analog, CAD, layout, and test teams to develop IP NVM IP controllers, and test chips (SOC).
Synthesize, Place, and Route IP, NVM controllers, and test chips (SOC).
Create and maintain behavioral models for NVM IP for customer implementation.
Verify .lib and other digital views to ensure accuracy and functionality.
Develop custom digital solutions that will be fabricated, tested, and implemented into high-volume applications.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of design and verification processes.
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
