📌North District, Israel 🇮🇱
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
As a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer, you will be the technical lead responsible for defining, implementing, and optimizing the embedded firmware that drives our ASIC. You will work closely with ASIC architects, hardware design teams, and software engineers to ensure a seamless and high-performance integration between silicon and system software.
Responsibilities
- Own the HW/SW interface design for our Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) ASIC, including low-level driver architecture.
- Develop firmware from scratch, including boot code, device drivers, and control logic.
- Collaborate with hardware and ASIC teams to define register maps, control protocols, and data paths.
- Perform bring-up, debugging, and validation on prototype boards and silicon samples.
- Optimize firmware for performance, reliability, and power efficiency.
- Write technical documentation for firmware architecture, APIs, and hardware interface specifications.
-
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices in embedded development.
- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 7+ years of embedded firmware development for complex hardware systems.
- Proven experience working in ASIC companies or on ASIC-related projects (bring-up, validation, firmware for custom silicon).
- Strong C/C++ programming skills with experience in low-level, performance-critical code.
- Solid understanding of SoC architecture, memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, and DMA.
- Hands-on experience with embedded Linux, including Yocto or Buildroot build systems.
- Hands-on Layer-2 Ethernet experience, including MAC/PHY bring-up, VLAN handling, and low-level packet processing.
- Proven track record of hardware bring-up and debugging at the register level.
-
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work cross-functionally with hardware and software teams.
- Low-level firmware development for RISC-V or ARM, including boot code, interrupt handling, and peripheral drivers
- Knowledge of RDMA, InfiniBand, or RoCE protocols.
- Background in cryptography, security hardware, or FHE concepts.
- Exposure to ASIC or FPGA verification environments.
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.
