Senior Embedded Software Architect
📌Mansfield, United States 🇺🇸
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
on-site
Lead the software architecture for our industrial camera systems, blending expertise in embedded systems, AI integration, and robust security mechanisms. This is a senior-level, hands-on role that combines system-level architectural ownership with deep involvement in embedded software development. In this role, you'll design comprehensive software solutions spanning from user interfaces to low-level drivers, working with cutting-edge NXP i.MX8 processors and RISC-V architectures to create high-performance vision systems. This role will be responsible for combining the codebase and architecture of the two product lines by having a high-level overview.
This position offers the opportunity to shape the next generation of industrial vision systems by bridging sophisticated software architecture with advanced hardware capabilities.
Please Note: This is a senior-level position requiring 10+ years of experience in embedded software design. Applicants without substantial hands-on design experience will not be considered.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect advanced user interfaces including ONVIF support, web-based camera controls, and remote management systems
- Design and implement robust security systems with authentication and encryption for industrial cameras
- Train and integrate AI models using frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch for sophisticated vision processing
- Support development of low-level drivers and kernel modules optimized for NXP i.MX8 and RISC-V platforms
- Optimize image signal processing pipelines for real-time industrial applications
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure software compatibility with specialized components
- Develop high-performance real-time applications for embedded Linux environments
- Create maintainable, object-oriented software using C++ and Python
-
Conduct thorough troubleshooting and root-cause analysis during development phases
Core Qualifications
- Experience: 10+ years in software architecture for embedded systems or industrial cameras
- Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Location: Mansfield, MA (on-site position, no remote option)
-
Technologies: C++, Python, Embedded C, Yocto
- Expert knowledge of embedded software development for NXP i.MX8 and RISC-V architectures
- Advanced proficiency in object-oriented C++ and Python for embedded and AI applications
- Demonstrated experience with AI model training and integration using modern frameworks
- Kernel-level programming expertise and device driver development for embedded Linux
- Practical experience with industrial protocols including ONVIF, RTSP, and various interfaces
-
Strong understanding of real-time processing techniques and performance optimization
- Experience implementing ONVIF standards for security cameras
- Knowledge of AI accelerator platforms (Hailo, NVIDIA Jetson)
- Experience with FPGA-based vision processing acceleration
- Expertise in implementing secure boot mechanisms for high-security camera systems
- Systems development with GStreamer and Rust
- Experience with modern programming and data formats, including Golang, JavaScript, and JSON
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.
