Pascal develops high-end amplifier solutions for some of the world’s most demanding pro-audio brands. We’re scaling our embedded platforms and are looking for an Embedded Linux Engineer with solid experience in the Yocto Project and system-level software for low-latency, networked audio
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain Pascal’s Linux distributions using Yocto Project / OpenEmbedded and BitBake (BSPs, layers, recipes, SDKs).
- Board bring-up and driver integration (Device Tree, kernel config, U-Boot, I²C/SPI/UART, I²S/SAI, GPIO, PWM).
- Implement and tune audio pipelines and services (ALSA, PipeWire/GStreamer) for reliable low-latency performance.
- Networked audio & timing: PTP/IEEE-1588, TSN, RTP/RTSP, QoS/DSCP— targeting AES67 audio transport and AVB-Milan.OTA and field updates (e.g., Rauc/SWUpdate), secure-boot chain, disk-encryption, image signing, and robust rollback (e.g., A/B, dm-verity).
- Production & test: image builds for manufacturing, provisioning, device identity, logging/telemetry, and fault reporting.
- Collaborate across embedded, DSP, cloud, and frontend teams to deliver end-to-end configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics.
-
Contribute to architecture, documentation, code reviews, and CI/CD.
- 4+ years of Embedded Linux experience on production hardware.
- Strong hands-on Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded experience (writing/maintaining layers, recipes, and BSPs).
- Practical knowledge of Linux kernel fundamentals, Device Tree, U-Boot, and the driver integration.
- Proficiency in C/C++ (system-level) and scripting (Python/Bash).
- Understanding of real-time/low-latency audio, buffering, synchronization, and performance profiling.
- Solid networking fundamentals TCP/UDP, mDNS/Bonjour, DHCP, VLAN, QoS); familiarity with PTPv2 and TSN is a plus.
- Quality mindset: devices must be updatable, observable, and diagnosable in the field.
-
Strong written and spoken English capabilities (Danish is a plus).
- Experience with AES67/AVB-Milan, and Dante.
- Experience with Rust
- Familiarity with TI AM62Ax, NXP i.MX, or similar SoCs, and companion MCUs.
- Audio DSP fundamentals (filter design, SRC, dynamics/limiting, FFT/CMSIS-DSP or similar; fixed- vs. floating-point optimization and profiling).
- Device security: secure elements (non-TPM), measured/verified boot, dm-verity, image signing, and key management.
- Test frameworks, static analysis, sanitizers; experience wiring tests into CI.
-
Metrics/logging to cloud backends.
At Pascal, you’ll get more than “just” a job:
- Be part of a team building the core platform powering professional audio systems used worldwide - trusted by some of the industry’s most renowned brands.
- Work in an environment where collaboration across hardware, software, and DSP is close and supportive, and where your ideas can shape the direction we take.
- Enjoy flexible ways of working (hybrid), surrounded by talented colleagues in an informal setting where we hold each other to high standards - and help each other reach them.
- Experience a Scandinavian approach to work: healthy work–life balance, trust in your abilities, and the freedom to do your best work in the way that works best for you.
-
Join a culture built on care, creativity, collaboration, and a shared passion for sound - where diverse perspectives help us create something truly special

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.
