- Develop firmware in C on embedded processors with limited memory footprints.
- Develop firmware that controls and manages the entire chip system and datapath:
- Boot sequence, Control of Image processing blocks, HW IP configuration, Implementing RT algorithms, communication with external IC,
- Interface with the smartphone Application Processor, memory management, and much more.
- Implement and optimize algorithms taking advantage of hardware accelerators.
- Influence system architecture, algorithms and hardware design.
- Develop low-level unit and system-level tests. Both on Simulation and Emulation.
- Develop tools to update and debug the firmware, and emulation environment.
- Tightly collaborate with engineers from teams such as Algorithms, Analog, Digital Design, Digital Verification, FW Verification and FAEs.
- Find software solutions to image quality problems post-silicon.
Requirements
- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
- At least 3 years of experience in real-time embedded systems firmware development.
- Extensive C programming experience. Ability to write efficient code with limited HW resources.
- Ability to understand the full system requirements, constraints and limitations.
- Excellent teamwork skills, flexibility, and ability to handle multiple tasks.
- Apability to quickly grasp new fields and technologies.
Advantages :
- Experience in developing and debugging integrated hardware-software systems during the hardware development stage.
- Experience in firmware development on hardware emulators such as FPGA and Cadence Palladium.
- Proficient in Python and C++ programming.
- Experience with Arm Cortex-based CPUs, RISC-V ISA CPUs.
- Algorithmic and analytic capabilities.
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.
