Not so long ago, in a startup not so far away… a new signal was detected.
In a world where robots were once locked into executing pre-scripted commands - stuck on rails, reacting instead of thinking - a shift began.
The robotics evolution is no longer coming. It's already here.
Globally, the robotics market is set to surpass $250 billion by 2030, driven by breakthroughs in AI, edge computing, and autonomy. In Australia alone, robotics is reshaping industries from agriculture and mining to space and defence, with government and VC investment tripling over the past 5 years.
But none of it matters without software.
That’s where you come in.
This rebel team has started building the software layer that enables robots to learn, adapt, and make decisions in the unknown. Their mission is to develop the brain that fuses perception, control, and autonomy - unlocking the next generation of machine intelligence.
They’ve built the hardware. Now they’re building life into it.
Picture R2-D2 jacking into the Death Star’s mainframe to shut down the trash compactor.
We’re doing that. Just with more C++ and less C-3PO.
Your Role In The Rebellion
We’re hiring a Robotics Software Engineer to lead the charge in building modular autonomy systems for robots working in high-stakes environments - where GPS might fail, maps don’t exist, and latency is not an option.
You’ll
- Design and implement ROS/ROS2-based systems from the ground up.
- Build software that enables autonomous navigation, perception, and control. Work closely with mechanical, AI and firmware engineers to bring systems into the real world.
-
Test your work where it matters most — outside the lab, in field deployments.
- Proficiency in C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2.
- Experience across motion planning, SLAM, sensor fusion, control systems.
- Comfort working close to the hardware - bridging the gap between code and carbon fibre.
-
Bonus if you've worked on real-world robotics deployments or multi-agent systems.
They won't just follow commands.
They’ll lead the way.
Will you answer the call?

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.
