- Write low-level device drivers for peripherals such as SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, PWM,etc.
- Develop and maintain software documentation including architecture, design, and user manuals.
- Debug and troubleshoot software issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD.
- Participate in code reviews and ensure software development best practices.
- Contribute to system-level design, including power management and optimization techniques.
- Support testing, validation, and deployment processes for embedded solutions.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 4+ years of experience in embedded firmware/software development.
- Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Hands-on experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, STM32.).
- Strong understanding of RTOS concepts including task scheduling, inter-process communication, and resource management.
- Familiarity with communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, etc.
- Experience with embedded development tools: IDEs (e.g., Keil, IAR,
- STM32CubeIDE), debuggers, and emulators.
- Familiarity with version control systems (Git, SVN).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with safety-critical or industrial embedded systems.
- Knowledge of bare-metal programming and interrupt handling.
- Exposure to wireless communication stacks (IoT, BLE, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.).
- Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Bash) for automation and testing.
- Experience with CI/CD tools for embedded 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.
