We're looking for skilled FPGA Design Engineers at all experience levels to join our client's team in developing, implementing, and debugging cutting-edge programmable hardware solutions.
Responsibilities :
• Specify, design, implement, and debug FPGA solutions.
• Develop complex FPGA architectures and designs.
• Capture and develop requirements.
• Perform FPGA synthesis, place and route, and timing closure to meet performance targets.
• Develop supporting software (e.g., test scripts) to optimize the FPGA design process.
• Troubleshoot and debug FPGA designs, resolving issues in a challenging environment.
• Collaborate effectively within a team and with clients.
Minimum Requirements:
• Solid understanding of FPGA concepts and hardware design.
• Proficiency in VHDL design toolsets and verification suites.
• Demonstrated experience designing FPGAs from system-level requirements.
Desirable Skills:
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git/SVN).
• Experience with tool chain scripting (e.g., TCL/Python).
Security Clearance:
Due to the nature of the projects, candidates must undergo pre-employment screening and meet UK National Security Vetting requirements.
Work Environment & Culture:
- Full-time Onsite (5 Days/Week)
- Join a supportive, collaborative workplace that thrives on innovation.
- We're deeply committed to diversity, inclusion, and continuous professional development.
About Our Client:

Their commitment to cutting-edge technology, employee development, and strategic growth makes them an employer of choice in the industry.
Equal Opportunity Statement:
We and our client are committed to being equal opportunity employers. We believe diverse teams bring better ideas, stronger collaboration, and more innovative solutions. Inclusion and respect are at the core of everything we do.
If this role interests you but you’re unsure whether you meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Skills, experience, and potential come in many forms—and we’d love to hear how you could contribute.
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.
