You are passionate about developing products and services that make a real-world impact. You thrive in teams that push innovation, whether it's through enhancing blood analysis technology, building electric powertrains, or developing control systems for global manufacturers. For you, embedded development is about much more than writing code – it's about creating robust products with the right technologies alongside skilled colleagues.
Responsibilities
- Use your technical expertise to help clients optimize their embedded software solutions.
- Lead and contribute to exciting development projects – from improving existing products to creating new ones from scratch.
- Collaborate across disciplines – work closely with both hardware and software teams to solve real-world challenges.
- Clearly communicate complex technical ideas – to both technical experts and business stakeholders.
-
Explore and implement new technologies – stay at the forefront and drive innovation through new methods and tools.
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering with a solid technical foundation.
- Proven experience in embedded development with C/C++ or Python.
- Experience throughout the entire product development lifecycle – from idea to finished product.
- DevOps experience is a plus, for example with Azure or AWS.
- Deep understanding of embedded systems or software development.
- Interest in industries like Automotive, Industrial, or Defense.

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.
