Job Description:
- Develop and optimize FPGA compiler and synthesis tools for mapping high-level designs onto FPGA hardware.
- Work with hardware architects and design teams to understand FPGA-specific constraints and requirements, translating them into efficient synthesis strategies.
- Design and implement algorithms to optimize the placement, routing, and resource allocation of FPGA designs.
- Conduct performance analysis of FPGA designs and propose enhancements to improve design throughput, resource utilization, and timing.
- Work on debugging and troubleshooting FPGA synthesis issues, including RTL design and timing violations.
- Collaborate with teams to ensure compiler tools integrate seamlessly with existing hardware design workflows.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of the FPGA compiler environment by staying up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in FPGA design and synthesis.
- Write and maintain high-quality C++ code, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
-
Provide documentation and technical support for FPGA compiler tools.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Proficiency in C++ programming, with a deep understanding of object-oriented principles and software optimization techniques.
- Experience in FPGA development and design flows (e.g., Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or similar).
-
Familiarity with digital circuit design, hardware description languages (e.g., VHDL/Verilog), and FPGA architecture will be added advantages.
- Experience with FPGA toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, or similar FPGA synthesis and implementation tools.
- Understanding of hardware/software co-design and hardware acceleration techniques.
- Familiarity with parallel programming, multi-threading, and performance optimization in C++.
- Experience in RTL design or verification.
-
Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., Python, TCL) for automation.

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.
