Embedded Engineer - Microcontroller
📌Gurugram, India 🇮🇳
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
We are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with a strong background in both embedded firmware development and hardware integration. This role requires hands-on experience with microcontroller-based system design, low-level driver development, and hardware debugging. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to develop end-to-end embedded solutions in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Key Responsibilities
Embedded Software Responsibilities :
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware using Embedded C/C++ for microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, STM32, NXP, etc.).
- Develop and integrate device drivers, communication stacks, RTOS-based and bare-metal applications.
- Optimize embedded code for performance, power, and memory footprint.
- Perform unit testing, code reviews, and ensure compliance with coding standards (e.g., MISRA-C).
-
Implement bootloaders, BSPs, and secure firmware update mechanisms.
- Collaborate with hardware design engineers to define system architecture, component selection, and interface logic.
- Bring-up of new hardware boards including low-level hardware testing and validation.
- Perform hardware-software integration, debugging using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
- Conduct schematic reviews and work with layout teams to optimize signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and power design.
- Support PCB bring-up, prototyping, and hardware testing cycles.
-
Document hardware interfaces, configurations, and BOM evaluations.
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
- 6 - 10 years of experience in embedded systems design and development.
- Strong programming skills in C/C++ for microcontroller firmware development.
- Experience with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) and bare-metal environments.
- Proficiency with communication protocols : I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, Modbus.
- Hands-on experience with schematic-level hardware debugging.
- Familiarity with microcontroller families like STM32, NXP Kinetis, TI MSP430, ESP32, etc.
- Experience with tools such as Keil, IAR, Eclipse, Altium Designer, Oscilloscope, Multimeter, JTAG/SWD interfaces.
- Solid understanding of analog/digital circuit design, power management, and PCB fundamentals.
- Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Strong communication and cross-team collaboration.
-
Ability to mentor junior engineers and guide project design decisions.
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.
