- Experience with FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or other RTOS (academic experience is also considered a plus).
-
Solid experience in developing and maintaining time-critical software.
- Ability to work close to the hardware for debugging, performance optimization, and peripheral management.
-
Familiarity with lab instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, etc.).
- Experience with Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as STM32CubeIDE, Keil, MPLAB X.
-
Use of debugging tools: step-by-step debugging, breakpoints, printf debugging.
-
Basic knowledge and use of Git for source code management and team collaboration.
- Familiarity with Agile and DevOps practices.
-
Experience with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes for embedded environments.
- Passion for electronics and embedded development.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Teamwork and technical documentation abilities.
-
Willingness to engage in continuous learning and experimentation with both RTOS and bare-metal technologies.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automation, Telecommunications, or related fields.
What We Offer
- Personalized career paths in a fast-growing, innovation-driven company.
- Ongoing training—both cross-functional and specialized—tailored to individual skills, attitudes, and interests.
- Corporate Benefits: health insurance, welfare plan, meal vouchers, and corporate discounts.
-
Team-building activities to foster a positive, cohesive, and collaborative work environment.
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.
