Design engineers are required to have in-depth understanding across all the elements that contribute to the productsโ successful delivery. This includes low-power and high-speed design techniques and the ability to produce designs that are area efficient. Your key responsibilities will include writing micro-architecture specifications, developing the RTL and running various design checks. Additionally, you will work with the verification team to review test plans and help debug design issues. As a Staff engineer, you will also guide and support other members of the team as needed to enable the successful completion of project activities and contribute to developing and improving the design methodologies used by the team.
Required Skills And Experience
- Experience of RTL design for complex ASIC products & SoCs using Verilog and/or SystemVerilog
- Experience with Arm-based designs and/or Arm System Architectures
- Knowledge or experience with Functional Safety concepts and standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508). Should have worked on an Automotive IP or SoC from definition to completion.
- Experience or knowledge in the following areas Static design checks, Synthesis and timing analysis, Power management techniques
- Power domain and Clock Domain Crossing implementation
- An understanding of the fundamentals of computer architecture and systems and practical experience of working on Processor based system designs
- Technical team leadership, mentoring or coaching experience.
-
Knowledge of shell programming/scripting (e.g. Tcl Perl, Python etc.)
- High level programming experience such as C/C++ and/or assembly language programming
- Experience in embedded operating systems, device drivers, microprocessor, and embedded system hardware architectures.
-
Knowledge or experience of performing DFMEA, DFA at the module and system level.
We offer a competitive reward package including annual bonus, healthcare and wellness support. As well as other benefits such as a supplementary pension, and 25 days annual leave (with option to buy an additional 5 days per year)

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 โ making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
Weโre looking for a true legend โ someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. Youโll 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. Itโs 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 ๐
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML ๐ค
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking ๐ง
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity ๐ฐ
- Remote work possible ๐
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.
