Summary
We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to participate in the design and development of firmware used in electronic instrumentation products. The ideal candidate will have expertise in real-time systems, signal processing, and algorithm development deployed on SOC. This role requires a hands-on engineer comfortable working from schematics, using bench test equipment, and writing firmware for low power processors and SOC.
Essential Functions
- Design, develop, and optimize embedded firmware.
- Design for non-RTOS, state machine-based system design.
- Develop using Real-Time Operating systems such as FreeRTOS.
- Develop with ARM processors ranging from Cortex-M0+ SOC up to Arm-A15 multicore DSP.
- Implement device drivers to communicate with off chip peripherals.
- Implement user interfaces.
- Use secure boot loaders.
- Test, debug, and optimize code using oscilloscope, JTAG and SWD debuggers.
- Work closely with hardware and system engineers to achieve design goals.
- Integrate USB and Wireless protocols.
- Ensure operations adhere to laws, guidelines, ISO requirements.
- Comply with safety policies, practices, and procedures. Report all unsafe activities to supervisor and/or Human Resources.
Required Education and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering
- A minimum of 7 years of experience in embedded software development
Preferred Qualifications
- Proficient in C
- Hands-on experience with RTOS, and bare-metal programming
- Experience implementing DSP algorithms
- Experience with secure bootloaders supporting OTA updates
- Experience with GIT and Bitbucket
- Able to read schematics and data sheets
- Source code management using Git and Bitbucket
- Experience with Bluetooth is a plus
Work Environment
- Well-lighted, heated and/or air-conditioned indoor office/production setting with adequate ventilation and moderate noise
- May work with or near moving mechanical equipment
Physical Demands
Moderate physical activity performing non-strenuous daily activities of a productive/technical nature to work from a sitting or standing position.
- Manual dexterity sufficient to reach/handle items and work with the fingers
- Must be able to bend, stoop, squat, crouch
- Must be able to sit for long periods of time
- Must be able to lift up to ten pounds, with or without assistance
Every effort has been made to make this job description as complete as possible. However, it in no way states or implies that these are the only duties that will be required to perform. The omission of specific statements of duties is not excluded from the position if the work is similar, related, or is a logical assignment to the position.

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.
