๏ปฟ We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Architect with deep expertise in multicore processor platforms, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and embedded software architecture. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with partitioned operating systems, AMP/BMP multiprocessing models, embedded Linux, and containerized application environments. This role will lead the architectural design, evaluation, and optimization of multicore embedded systems, ensuring robust real-time performance and system reliability. The architect will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define system architecture, develop evaluation strategies, and guide implementation best practices.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and lead the design of multicore embedded software systems using Wind River Helix Virtualization Platform (HVP) with AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
- Lead the evaluation and performance analysis of multicore processor platforms running real-time and containerized applications.
- Develop and implement architectural strategies for embedded hybrid Linux and containerized environments alongside safety-certifiable environments.
- Design and oversee test plans and benchmarks to evaluate multicore performance, real-time behavior, and system reliability.
- Analyze software and hardware interactions, identify bottlenecks, and recommend architectural and implementation optimizations.
- Utilize profiling, simulation, and debugging tools tailored for multicore RTOS with partitioned and containerized platforms.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers, software developers, and system architects to ensure alignment on system design and evaluation goals.
- Automate evaluation workflows and support continuous integration processes.
- Prepare and deliver architectural documentation, technical reports, and presentations to stakeholders.
- Mentor and guide engineering teams on best practices for multicore software architecture, RTOS usage, partitioning, and containerization.
-
Stay current with emerging technologies in multicore processing, real-time systems, Wind River HVP, and container orchestration.
- Bachelorโs or Masterโs degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
- Extensive experience (7+ years) as a software architect or senior engineer in embedded multicore systems.
- Deep expertise (7+ years) with partitioned operating systems, including those that implement type 1 hypervisors, using AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
- Strong knowledge (7+ years) of embedded Linux and containerized application environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Proven experience (7+ years) designing and evaluating multicore real-time systems with strict timing and reliability requirements.
- Proficiency (7+ years) with profiling, simulation, and debugging tools for RTOS and containerized platforms.
- Experience (7+ years) developing architectural strategies for mixed-criticality and partitioned systems.
- Skilled in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, etc.) to support evaluation and CI/CD workflows.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Demonstrated leadership in guiding cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers.
-
Familiarity (7+ years) with safety-critical systems with high Levels of Rigor or Design Assurance Levels and industry standards

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.
