About The Role
StemWave is looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer to take a lead role in designing and implementing embedded systems for Class II medical devices. You’ll own critical firmware development initiatives, ensure compliance across regulatory standards, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver safe, reliable therapeutic technologies. This is an opportunity for engineers with 4–7 years of experience who are ready to step into greater ownership, influence design decisions, and help shape best practices in a fast-paced R&D environment.
What You'll Do
- Lead development and testing of embedded firmware for hardware, software, and QA integration
- Ensure compliance with IEC 62304, FDA QSR, and ISO 13485 across all firmware development phases
- Drive verification and validation activities, risk assessments, cybersecurity reviews, and hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Write and maintain comprehensive technical documentation and regulatory submission artifacts
- Participate in and help guide cross-functional design reviews, providing technical leadership in firmware architecture and implementation
-
Contribute to test fixture development and support hardware test setups
- 4–7 years of embedded firmware development experience, preferably in regulated industries (medical device experience strongly preferred)
- Advanced proficiency in C++; strong Python skills for automation and tooling
- Deep understanding of RTOS environments and secure data exchange protocols
- Proficiency with Linux development tools, cross-compilers, and debugging instruments (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, etc.)
- Proven track record ensuring regulatory compliance (IEC 62304, FDA QSR, ISO 13485) and contributing to regulatory submissions
- Hands-on experience supporting hardware teams during system integration, bring-up, and troubleshooting
- Strong skills with Git or similar SCM tools; capable of producing detailed test protocols, validation reports, and design documentation
-
Demonstrated ability to take ownership of projects, influence cross-functional teams, and mentor peers in a collaborative R&D environment

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.
