BSP Firmware Engineer
📌Bengaluru, India 🇮🇳
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer with over 10 years of experience in low-level firmware development, embedded systems integration, and real-time systems programming. You will play a key role in the development of firmware for ASIC bring-up, bootloaders, and peripheral drivers, while contributing to system design, integration, and validation of advanced embedded platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement bootloader and application firmware for custom ASICs based on hardware and system specifications.
- Develop firmware components for bare-metal and RTOS-based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, ThreadX), with a focus on performance, reliability, and scalability.
- Create and maintain detailed firmware specifications, derived from system documentation, reference code, and architecture inputs.
- Integrate and validate peripheral interfaces such as I2C, I3C, and SPI (both master and slave modes).
- Collaborate closely with hardware, ASIC, and systems teams to support silicon bring-up, validation, and functional verification.
- Troubleshoot complex embedded issues using industry-standard tools such as JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol sniffers.
- Implement DSP algorithms using finite precision arithmetic where applicable.
- Drive system-level performance improvements while working within strict processing and memory constraints.
- Participate in code reviews, documentation, and internal knowledge sharing.
-
Contribute to cross-platform driver development for Linux, Android, or Windows if required.
- Minimum 10+ years of hands-on experience in embedded firmware development.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash).
- Solid understanding of microcontroller architectures (especially ARM Cortex family).
- Experience in writing firmware for bootloaders, low-level hardware drivers, and ASIC initialization.
- Practical knowledge of RTOS concepts and experience with FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar environments.
- Demonstrated ability to debug complex systems using hardware debugging tools and instrumentation.
- Exposure to ASIC bring-up, board-level debugging, and silicon validation techniques.
- Experience with ARM Assembly is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with Linux, Android, or Windows driver development is advantageous.
-
Excellent communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills; ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
- DSP algorithm implementation
- Mixed signal systems or sensor-based architectures
- Cross-functional collaboration with silicon, systems, or OS-level teams
-
Experience in CI/CD and version control workflows (e.g., Git)
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.
