Your Role
You'll be instrumental in developing high-performance embedded solutions that drive next-generation hardware systems. This role will place you at the intersection of software and hardware integration, with a strong emphasis on low-level development and optimization.
- Collaborate with firmware experts to ensure seamless FPGA system integration
- Optimize hardware performance while managing power efficiency and compact design
- Interpret hardware schematics and connect physical components to functional software layers
- Contribute to open-source communities by upstreaming enhancements
-
Stay current with emerging technologies through trainings, conferences, and industry events
We're looking for someone with a solid technical foundation and a proactive, curious mindset. You’ll need a hands-on attitude and a keen interest in embedded systems and video processing.
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Embedded Systems or equivalent experience
- Proven passion for embedded platforms and FPGA-driven video applications
- Strong knowledge of tools and technologies including:
- GitLab CI, GStreamer, Linux kernel drivers
- Python (including Pytest), Ansible, Ubuntu, U-Boot
- ROS 2 and OpenAPI
- Bonus experience (not required but a big plus):
- Low-latency streaming (RTSP, WebRTC), OpenCV, Labgrid, DDS
- Microcontrollers with RTOS
-
Hardware-accelerated video processing (GPU/CPU/FPGA) and AI integration
Our client offers an exciting and supportive environment where innovation and growth are part of everyday work. Here’s what you can expect:
- A highly competitive salary package including:
- Group & hospitalization insurance
- Meal vouchers and internet allowance
- Flexible hours and 30 days of annual leave
- Options for remote work
- Extensive training and professional development paths
- The chance to work on groundbreaking embedded technologies
- A motivated, high-caliber team environment with real impact
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.
