Embedded System Engineer
📌San Francisco Bay Area, United States 🇺🇸
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ mid-level
We started with a simple idea: the things you use most often should be the best things you own.
This led us to invent.
Opal has been working on new things that may surprise even you.
So much has changed in technology, and so much of technology is stuck in the lab. Opal is building a series of new devices, that give consumers exciting new abilities.
It's more than cameras.
Focus:
Bridge hardware and firmware by designing electronic systems and the code that runs them, enabling seamless, intelligent, and reliable user experiences.
- 2–6 years of experience developing both electronic hardware and embedded firmware for consumer devices.
- Design, build, and validate schematics, PCBs, and circuits for wireless, audio, and sensor-driven systems.
- Develop low-level firmware, drivers, and communication stacks to tightly integrate hardware and software.
- Optimize for low-power, battery-constrained environments while ensuring high performance and reliability.
- Integrate wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, BLE, Wi-Fi, GSM) into compact, latency-sensitive devices.
- Create test fixtures, validation tools, and manufacturing diagnostics to scale hardware and firmware quality.
- Fluent in C/C++ for embedded development, Python for tooling, and proficient with schematics + layout design in a E-CAD tool of choice.
- Participate in cross-functional design reviews across hardware, firmware, and product design.

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.
