Raptee.HV is a full-stack electric motorcycle startup with a strong technical foundation. Founded in 2019 by four engineers from Chennai (with backgrounds at Tesla and Wipro), Raptee Energy aims to revolutionize the EV market by offering a high-performance motorcycle alternative to the existing scooter-dominated options. The company is incubated at CIIC & ARAI.
Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced Embedded Linux Developer to design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux systems using the Yocto Project . The role involves kernel driver development, hardware bring-up, and system-level debugging. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, and software teams to deliver robust Linux-based solutions, while also guiding best practices and mentoring junior engineers.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux systems and distributions using the Yocto Project (including build systems, recipes, and layers).
- Develop, debug, and optimize Linux kernel drivers for new hardware components and devices; perform kernel-level integration and device bring-up.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and application teams to define requirements and integrate Linux-based solutions into products.
- Troubleshoot complex system issues (boot, performance, memory, and reliability) using tools like JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and network sniffers.
- Manage and optimize the build process using Yocto; maintain custom layers, recipes, and documentation for reproducible builds.
- Participate in code reviews and design reviews, and contribute to an Agile development process with continuous integration and automated testing.
-
Mentor junior engineers and share best practices in embedded Linux development.
- Bachelorโs or Masterโs degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience (2+ years) in embedded Linux development, with extensive hands-on use of the Yocto Project to build and customize Linux distributions.
- Strong proficiency in C (and C++) programming, especially for low-level and kernel-space code.
- Demonstrated experience writing and maintaining Linux kernel drivers and modules.
- Solid understanding of hardware-software integration, device trees, and board support packages (BSP).
- Experience with cross-compilation toolchains, version control (Git), and automated build systems.
- Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills on embedded platforms.
-
Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
- Experience with ARM (e.g., Cortex-A/R) or other embedded architectures.
- Familiarity with additional open-source tools and frameworks (e.g., Buildroot, Jenkins, Docker, Robot Framework).
- Contributions to open-source projects or community engagement (e.g., patches to Yocto or the Linux kernel).
- Experience with real-time operating system concepts or virtualization on embedded devices.
- Knowledge of networking, security, or other specialized domains relevant to embedded products.
-
Advanced scripting abilities (Python, Bash) for automation and testing.
- Hands-on experience in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Mentorship from experienced professionals in the industry.
- Opportunity to work on real-world projects that impact our brand.
- A collaborative and fun work environment where every day brings a new challenge.
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 โ making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
Weโre looking for a true legend โ someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. Youโll 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. Itโs 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 ๐
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML ๐ค
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking ๐ง
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity ๐ฐ
- Remote work possible ๐
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.
