What we do here is hard, but then very few things worth achieving are easy. By joining Horizon, you will have the opportunity to work with our world-class entrepreneurial team who are passionate about delivering something special.
What we need you to bring.
Horizon is seeking an open, enthusiastic, and experienced Leader of Embedded Hardware Electronics. Your role will have a duality of technical leadership and the design, development, and integration of embedded electronic systems that are critical to our eVTOL aircraft platform. This role shapes the technical direction, manages a close-knit engineering team, and defines processes for embedded hardware delivery on eVTOL systems.
Your Day-to-Day
- Lead the design, development, and integration of embedded hardware for avionics, propulsion, and safety systems, ensuring technical excellence and regulatory compliance.
- Define working methods, development workflows, and best practices for hardware design, prototyping, validation, and certification.
- Manage and mentor a small team of embedded hardware engineers, fostering skill development and effective collaboration.
- Set technical priorities, delegate tasks, and provide oversight to guarantee timely delivery of robust and certifiable products.
- Facilitate cross-disciplinary project reviews and support team growth by building bridges with software, systems, and testing functions.
- Stay up to date with, and implement the latest developments in your field
-
Drive the continuous improvement of our processes to increase safety and efficiency
About Your Future Team.
As part of the team, you will tackle challenges and deliver something that has never been done before. The team is currently full of multi-skilled individuals who are some of the first Engineers to have joined Horizon. You will join a small team of specialists, which provides significant latitude in developing our working methods alongside needs of developing the platform.

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.
