SwitchBox is seeking bright, curious, and ambitious engineering talent with a passion for solving challenging problems in mobility, electrification, autonomy, and energy. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll join a highly collaborative team of controls, systems, electrical, and mechanical engineers to design and deliver embedded solutions for cutting-edge hardware and real-world systems.
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy working across the full product lifecycle—from requirements through architecture, development, testing, and deployment.
- Design, implement, and validate embedded software for control systems, communication interfaces, and hardware integration
- Translate stakeholder and system-level requirements into clear, testable software specifications
- Work with electrical and controls teams to define system architecture and software/hardware interfaces
- Develop, document, and maintain code for embedded platforms (e.g., ARM, TI, NXP) in C/C++ and similar languages
- Perform unit testing, integration testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) verification
- Support system bring-up, debugging, and field testing
- Recommend best practices for embedded software toolchains, version control, and CI/CD processes
- Participate in software design reviews and code walkthroughs
- Contribute to project proposals and help define embedded software work scopes as needed
- Technical Expertise: Demonstrates strong fundamentals in embedded systems, real-time software, and low-level development
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Communicates clearly with controls, electrical, and systems engineers to align development efforts
- Problem Solving & Debugging: Applies structured thinking and persistence to solve complex issues in embedded environments
- Execution & Ownership: Delivers high-quality work on time with minimal oversight in a flexible, self-directed work culture
- Product Mindset: Balances speed and quality while contributing to scalable, maintainable software architectures
- Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (required)
- Master’s degree in Embedded Systems, Software Engineering, or related field (preferred)
- 2–5+ years of experience in embedded software development
- Proficiency in C/C++, embedded Linux, RTOS, and microcontroller programming
- Familiarity with CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and other embedded comms protocols
- Experience with version control (e.g., Git), software debugging tools (e.g., JTAG), and simulation platforms
- Automotive, EV, off-highway, aerospace, or robotics industry experience is a plus
- Exposure to ASPICE, ISO 26262, or other safety-critical development environments preferred
- Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or scripting tools is a bonus
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.
