Role Overview:
We are looking for a talented Embedded Firmware Engineer to design and develop embedded solutions for intelligent storage systems and PCIe switch controllers. This role involves translating complex customer requirements into reliable, standards-compliant product features, working with protocols such as NVMe, PCIe, I2C, and DMTF (MCTP/PLDM/SPDM).
The ideal candidate is highly skilled in embedded system design, proficient in C/C++, and experienced in low-level development and debugging using industry-standard tools. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential for cross-functional teamwork and documentation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++.
- Develop automated test scripts and tools using Python.
- Implement features based on customer needs and technical specifications aligned with industry protocols (NVMe, PCIe, I2C, DMTF).
- Work closely with system processors, PCIe components, peripherals, and resident operating systems.
- Perform debugging and validation using software debuggers, in-circuit emulators (ICE), protocol analyzers, and logic analyzers.
-
Create and maintain detailed design documentation and collaborate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- Experience: 1–4 years in embedded firmware development using C/C++.
- Technical Skills:
- Solid understanding of embedded systems architecture and microprocessor-based design.
- Hands-on experience with NVMe, PCIe, I2C, and DMTF protocols.
- Familiarity with MCTP over PCIe/I2C and BMC out-of-band communication.
- Tools & Debugging:
- Proficient with tools like protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, in-circuit emulators, ARM/Greenhills debug tools.
- Soft Skills:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
-
Ability to thrive in a globally distributed team across different time zones.
- Experience with RTOS-based development.
- Additional proficiency in Python and low-level programming languages.
- Exposure to FPGA or ASIC development environments.
- Understanding of secure firmware practices (encryption, authentication).
- Knowledge of hardware-software co-design for scalable embedded solutions.
-
Familiarity with virtualization concepts, including IOMMU and virtual machine environments.
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.
