Do you thrive on designing embedded electronics that push boundaries? Excited by the idea of working on next-gen propulsion, in-orbit servicing, and exploration technologies?
We’re working with a pioneering space company that's expanding its electronics team and looking for an Embedded Electronics Engineer to contribute to cutting-edge embedded systems across flight and ground platforms.
In this role, you’ll work across the full lifecycle – from prototyping to flight-ready systems – with a strong focus on control systems, power conversion, and actuator control electronics. If you love diving into PCB design, simulation, testing, and MCU development, you’ll be in your element.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Designing and testing embedded systems for mission-critical space applications
- Developing power supplies, motor drivers, and MCU-based control units
- Participating in schematic design, layout, and component selection
- Collaborating closely with mechanical and thermal engineers for PCB integration
-
Supporting hardware assembly, debugging, and MAIT activities
- 3+ years of experience in embedded electronics (space or similarly high-reliability environments)
- Hands-on experience with PCB tools (e.g. Altium) and lab testing equipment
- Strong grasp of DC-DC converters, drive control, and power conditioning
- Familiarity with industry standards (IPC, ECSS, etc.)
-
A proactive, detail-oriented approach and strong communication skills
- Experience designing space-qualified electronics (TRL 7+)
- Knowledge of radiation effects on EEE components
-
Skills in LTspice or other schematic simulation tools
- Full-time, permanent role based onsite at a modern space tech hub in Westcott
- Hybrid work after probation
-
Health insurance, flexi-time, TOIL policies, and a collaborative, mission-driven environment
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.
