Experience Level : 3-5 years
We are looking for a talented and driven Firmware Engineer with a strong background in embedded software development, specifically on ARM-based SoCs. The ideal candidate will be proficient in low-level programming and have experience with ARM Cortex processors and various peripheral interfaces. This role involves working on cutting-edge embedded systems with a focus on high performance, reliability, and scalability.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop embedded software and firmware for ARM-based SoCs (e.g., Cortex R52, A72, A78).
- Develop low-level drivers and software for bus interfaces (AXI, AHB) and peripherals (CAN, Ethernet, USB, SD, memory controllers, etc.).
- Collaborate with hardware and systems engineering teams to define software requirements and ensure hardware-software integration.
- Perform firmware bring-up, debugging, and optimization on custom hardware platforms.
- Utilize tools such as static and dynamic code analyzers to ensure high software quality.
- Maintain thorough documentation and participate in code reviews.
-
Contribute to open-source projects or internal open development processes as needed.
- Proven experience in embedded software development and architecture.
- Strong proficiency in C and assembly language.
- Extensive experience working with ARM-based SoCs.
- In-depth knowledge of ARM v8/v7 architectures, especially Cortex-R52, A72, and A78.
- Solid understanding of bus interface protocols (AXI, AHB) and common peripherals (USB, CAN, Ethernet, SD).
-
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
- Strong grasp of embedded system concepts, including bare-metal programming or RTOS environments.
- Experience with static and dynamic software analysis tools.
- Working knowledge of C++ and scripting languages like Python, Tcl, or Perl.
- Hands-on experience with AMD Vivado/Vitis development tools.

Familiarity with open-source development processes and contribution workflows
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.
