Junior Firmware Engineer
📌Liberty Lake, United States 🇺🇸
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ junior
A junior firmware engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing firmware for embedded systems. Their primary duties include writing code, debugging, and optimizing firmware for various power converter hardware platforms. They work closely with hardware engineers and software developers to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the firmware within the system. Additionally, junior firmware engineers are expected to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and technologies, and contribute to the overall improvement of the team's processes and methodologies.
CORE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop and optimize embedded software that implements control, protection, and fault diagnosis of the power converters.
- Develop firmware code to validate highly integrated system including micro controller/processor, DSP, transceiver, and misc. interface circuits.
- Develop test code/scripts to stress the product intensively, analyze result, exposure issues and fix bugs.
- Implement low level drivers on bare metal or RTOS.
- Work with hardware engineer to conduct HW characterization tests using laboratory instruments.
- Provide design and project support in the areas of regulatory and reliability.
- Implement customer or application specific control functions and communication protocols.
-
Create and maintain software design documentation.
-
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a similar field or equivalent years of experience.
- A minimum of 2+ years of firmware engineering experience.
- Familiar with motor control and power converters such as space vector PWM and field-oriented control.
- High competency in embedded C programming.
- Experience in using communication protocols including UART, I2C, SPI and USB.
- Experience working with real time operating systems.
- Experience working with industrial protocols, especially Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), Modbus, and BACnet.
- Experience in coding with TI C2000 MCU and ARM processors (>1 year).
- Experience with software version control and bug tracking tools such as GIT system.
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.
