Sateliot is a Barcelona-based Startup in the New Space sector, becoming the first satellite telecommunications operator that will provide global and continuous connectivity to all the elements that will make up the massive Internet of Things (IoT) universe under the 5G protocol .
In order to do so, Sateliot is launching a constellation of last generation nanosatellites , located at low altitude that act as mobile towers. Sateliot is the perfect complement for large telecommunications companies by providing them with the necessary infrastructure where terrestrial technologies do not arrive.
YOUR MISSION
As an Embedded Software Engineer , you will join the space technology team and work in collaboration with a multidisciplinary and talented engineering team to evolve Sateliot’s space technology capabilities to provide the first and best NB-IoT NTN service to emerging users around the world. This area is in charge of developing embedded software for a diverse range of space systems. As one of the first embedded software engineers you will play a key role on the implementation of the solution setting the bases of current and future generations of Sateliot
Your Main Functions
- Develop, implement, and maintain embedded software for satellite subsystems, focusing on robust and efficient solutions for NewSpace missions.
- Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers in an agile environment to define software requirements and interfaces for various space applications
- Design and execute software test plans and procedures for embedded systems, ensuring compliance with mission critical specifications and performance targets
- Participate in the entire software development lifecycle, from concept and design to integration, testing, and in-orbit validation.
- Optimize software for resource-constrained environments typical of small satellite platforms, including power consumption and processing efficiency.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of software development practices, tools, and processes within the team.
-
Document software designs, code, and test results to ensure maintainability and scalability for future generations of Sateliot's technology.

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.
