- Maintain, improve and extend the firmware for our underwater optical modems
- Develop mesh networking algorithms for underwater networks
- Field testing the optical modems at local and remote testing facilities
- Carrying out assigned tasks and sub-projects in a self-directed, largely autonomous fashion, in close coordination with the team
- Other tasks that are deemed suitable in collaboration with the team, under consideration of current company activities, experience and skill profile.
Qualifications
Swiss work permit or EU/EFTA/CH citizenship is required.
- Solid (5+ years) programming and debugging experience in C/C++ for embedded systems (bare-bone ARM microcontrollers) is a must
- Experience with low-level programming (interfacing with peripherals such as SPI, Ethernet PHY, I2C, interrupt handling, DMA, etc.)
- Experience with network protocols to low-level detail (IP, UDP, TCP, routing)
- Programming in HTML and javascript for memory constrained environments, experience with REST API
- Experience with IoT (MQTT, sensor networks)
- Programming in Python
- Experience in signal processing is a plus
- Experience with FPGA programming is a plus
- Ability to read circuit designs, schematics
- Electronic design skills are a plus
- 3D design experience a plus
- Experience in UI programming (Qt/PyQt on desktop, JavaScript, common web frameworks) is a plus
- Fluent communication in English
- Demonstrated “can do” entrepreneurial attitude through experience, who can persevere in achieving goals consistently
- Excelling at multitasking and prioritization
- Willingness to travel for tests and deployments
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.
