Embedded Electronic Engineer
📌London, United Kingdom 🇬🇧
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
We’re hiring!
Join our fast-moving stealth startup as an Embedded Hardware Engineer working on next-generation wearable technologies. You'll help take complex embedded systems from prototype to production, working closely with firmware, mechanical, and design teams to build compact, reliable, and manufacturable hardware.
Your profile
What You'll Do
- Design and develop embedded electronics for wearable and electromechanical systems
- Lead schematic capture, PCB layout, and bring-up of compact mixed-signal boards
- Work closely with firmware and mechanical engineers on system integration and testing
- Prototype and validate hardware in the lab, including electromechanical interfaces (e.g. pumps, valves, actuators)
- Support hardware verification: performance, power, and fit testing
- Assist with component selection for manufacturability and long-term availability
- Contribute to improving documentation, design reliability, and build processes
-
Support external manufacturing and early factory builds when needed
- 5+ years in embedded hardware or electronics development
- Experience shipping at least one commercial hardware product (wearable, consumer, medical, or similar)
- Strong PCB design skills (Altium or KiCad), including mixed-signal and compact layouts
- Comfortable with power systems: PMICs, battery charging/protection, current sensing
- Familiarity with electromechanical elements (e.g. pumps, valves, actuators, or similar)
- Confident debugging hardware with scopes, logic analysers, and test equipment
- Experience with common digital and analogue interfaces (I²C, SPI, UART, ADCs)
-
Exposure to manufacturing, DFM, or supporting builds is a plus
- Awareness of RF layout principles and wireless systems
- Familiarity with EMC/EMI design and pre-compliance testing
- Experience with analogue signal conditioning and low-power design
- Understanding of certification paths (CE, FCC, battery safety)
-
Exposure to RF simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, or similar (a bonus, not required)
- Strong communicator: able to explain, document, and review design decisions
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environment
-
Balances rapid iteration with disciplined, manufacturable design
Why Join Us?
- Build the core of a high-impact electronic product already in late-stage development
- Collaborate with a tight-knit team across design, electronics, firmware, and mechanical
- Influence how things get built, from prototyping to production
-
Competitive early-stage benefits with strong long-term growth opportunities

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.
