We’re seeking an Embedded Systems Integration Engineer to build the backend infrastructure that validates the interaction between our hardware, firmware, and software. You will be the connective tissue across disciplines: owning how changes to firmware or software are tested against real hardware. Your work ensures we ship reliable, integrated systems that just work.
This is a hands-on role where you will design and implement automated test frameworks, bring-up flows, and validation pipelines for embedded subsystems. You'll be responsible for catching regressions early, enabling fast iteration, and giving clear system-level pass/fail signals across the stack.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect test infrastructure that exercises end-to-end functionality of embedded systems across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries.
- Develop backend systems (Python, CLI tools, internal APIs) to run tests, log results, and determine pass/fail conditions.
- Bring up and validate subsystem and system level changes, tracking changes in behavior and performance across releases.
- Automate testing pipelines for regression detection and continuous integration.
- Debug and triage failures across layers—hardware faults, firmware bugs, or software integration issues.
- Collaborate with firmware, software, and hardware teams to define interface contracts and testable behaviors.
-
Instrument devices under test using scopes, logic analyzers, and custom harnesses to characterize system response.
- Bachelor’s in EE, CE, CS, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience working with embedded systems.
- Strong understanding of how firmware interacts with hardware peripherals (I2C, Ethernet, SPI, CAN, UART, ADCs, GPIO, etc.).
- Proficiency in Python or similar scripting language for test automation.
- Experience bringing up custom embedded boards and working across firmware/software stacks.
-
Familiarity with Linux-based development environments.
- Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, TeamCity).
- Knowledge of test automation frameworks (e.g., PyTest, Robot Framework).
- Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.
- Familiarity with board-level validation, power-on sequencing, or sensor verification.
- Prior experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or other complex embedded systems.
-
Comfort working hands-on at the bench with test equipment.
The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional components/benefits depending on the specific role. This information will be shared if an employment offer is extended.
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.
