Join our fast-moving stealth startup as a Senior Hardware Manufacturing Engineer. We're a multidisciplinary team working on next-generation wearable technologies, now gearing up for production.
You’ll help finalise a system already deep in development, taking it through manufacturing, compliance, and test readiness. Working closely with our mechanical, firmware, and electronics engineers, you’ll make sure what we've built is reliable, certifiable, and ready to ship at scale.
Your profile
What You’ll Do
- Work across teams to ensure reliable integration of mechanical, embedded, and electronics subsystems
- Lead the transition from late-stage prototype to production: BOM validation, documentation, assembly constraints, and test planning
- Interface directly with PCB fabs, CMs, and component suppliers
- Own preparation for compliance and certification (e.g. CE, UKCA, FCC, IEC 62133, UN 38.3)
- Review and support PCB designs that include mixed-signal and RF subsystems, ensuring robust layout, manufacturability, and testability
- Contribute practical, production-focused insight into a hardware pipeline that’s already in motion
-
Finalise an existing battery-powered control system with electromechanical elements, including layout revisions and DFM optimisation
- 5+ years of hands-on hardware development experience, ideally in consumer, medical, or industrial electronics
- Proven experience taking at least one hardware product through to manufacturing
- Background in PCB layout for mixed-signal or electromechanical systems
- Deep understanding of battery-powered system design, charging, protection, power path control
- Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and compliance labs
- Confident in generating and managing production-ready documentation: BOMs, stackups, tolerances, test specs
-
Comfortable working with systems already in progress, providing focused engineering value without needing to define everything from scratch
- Experience with pump or valve control systems
- Background in NPI (New Product Introduction) and design-for-manufacture
- Familiarity with designing for test (DFT) or building test jigs
-
Prior work in startups or shipped low- to mid-volume products (10k–100k units)
- London-based is ideal for in-person collaboration
- UK-remote or hybrid candidates welcome
-
Occasional travel to vendors or test sites may be required
- Work on a system that is already functional and heading into production
- Help scale from hundreds to 10,000+ units
-
Collaborate with a small, hands-on, multidisciplinary team
If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now.
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.
