- Applies design expertise to define processes for technical platforms, system specifications, input/output, and working parameters for hardware and software compatibility.
- Theoretical & practical assessment of feedback from other functions (Like verification, validation, manufacturing, and customer) to improve design.
- Performs schematic capture, circuit trace routing rules, PCB layout oversight from feasibility to board tape-out, and coordinate with fabrication vendors to ensure timely and accurate board production.
- Conducts thorough testing and validation of hardware designs, utilizing tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal integrity analyzers.
- BOM analyses like cost Vs availability & design trade-offs at the board and system levels.
- Resolves bring-up issues to deliver high-quality boards and platforms for customers.
- Develops comprehensive documentation, including design specifications, user manuals, and test procedures, to support product development and customer usage.
- Stays abreast of emerging FPGA technologies and industry trends to inform design decisions and maintain competitive advantage. Qualifications & experience
- Bachelors or Masters in Electronics & Communication with 10+ years of experience
- EDA tool exposure ( Concept HDL, OrCAD, Allegro, Ansys, Hyper Lynx)
- Proficiency in hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog, and experience with FPGA development tools like Vivado or Quartus.
- Strong understanding of digital design principles, including timing analysis, signal integrity, and power distribution.
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (e.g., Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro).
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Experience with mixed-signal design and integration of analog components.
- Familiarity with embedded systems and software development for FPGA-based solutions.
- Knowledge of compliance standards and regulatory requirements for electronic hardware.

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.
