You will be part of a team developing next-generation solutions in adaptive welding and industrial automation.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain multi-threaded C applications on Linux (NixOS).
- Integrate the application with Siemens PLC systems using PROFINET or Modbus protocols.
- Contribute to cloud integration features for remote data offloading and centralized system management.
- Collaborate with hardware and operations teams to deliver well-integrated automation solutions.
- Optimize real-time performance and identify bottlenecks in the embedded system.
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code using software engineering best practices.
- Manage and complete backlog tasks independently with a focus on quality and timelines.
-
Ensure system-level understanding of software components within a complex industrial architecture.
- Strong C programming experience (C11/14/17 or later) application-level and real-time multi-threading.
- Solid experience with Linux system programming and debugging.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools, version control (Git), and build systems like CMake.
- Expertise in testable code architecture and software modularity.
- Background in performance optimization and scalable system design.
- Exposure to system-of-systems design principles.
-
Excellent interpersonal skills with a collaborative mindset.
- Experience with Siemens PLCs, PROFINET, or industrial automation.
- Familiarity with Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or other welding technologies.
- Knowledge of image recognition or computer vision algorithms.
- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and related data handling systems.
- Experience with NixOS packaging and deployment tools.
-
Understanding of cybersecurity principles for embedded and cloud-connected systems
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.
