Meet the Team
Join our team at Acacia, where we design advanced optical transceivers for high-speed fiber optic transmission in data centers and telecommunication networks. This team is developing next generation 100G-1T coherent optical communications products.
Your Impact
This is a senior contributor role focused on delivering highly-complex ASICS in advanced technology nodes that are used in next generation telecom systems. The role involves detailed running timing analysis and driving timing closure at the full-chip level. This includes providing ECO scripts and guidance to designers for delivering tape-out quality for all parts of the design, in a highly team focused environment.
- Involves in static timing analysis (STA) methodology and flow. Including but not limited to latest timing technologies, like latest on-chip variation modeling techniques, PVT selection, extraction methodology and flow, etc.
- Run signoff timing analysis at the top level, drive closure of timing across the team. Interface with EDA vendors on issues/features/enhancements on timing tools.
-
Work closely with RTL designers to debug and root-cause timing issues related to design, tools, etc. and arrive at a feasible solution through the augmentation of input and design collateral.
- Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering with 12 + years, or MS degree with 8 + years, or a PhD with 5+ year of experience
- Experience in advanced technology nodes 16nm and below
- Experience with industry standard CAD methodologies from Cadence, Synopsys and/or Mentor
- Experience with scripting skills such as TCL, Perl, or Python.
-
Experience executing ASICs from product definition to production release.
- Experience with FinFET technologies
- Experience with DSP algorithms
- Experience in telecom design space
-
Experience presenting technical information to technical and non-technical audience
Fueled by the depth and breadth of our technology, we experiment and create meaningful solutions. Add to that our worldwide network of doers and experts, and you’ll see that the opportunities to grow and build are limitless. We work as a team, collaborating with empathy to make really big things happen on a global scale. Because our solutions are everywhere, our impact is everywhere.
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.
