As our next Firmware Engineer, you’ll drive the stability and performance of Cytek’s cutting‑edge cytometer and robotic platforms. You'll shape firmware architectures, optimize algorithms, and lay the foundation for secure, production-grade releases. Impact both the R&D pipeline and our field-deployed systems, ensuring our technology delivers reliable, real-world performance.
What You’ll Do
- Architect & implement firmware for embedded systems in C/C++ (ARM-based).
- Design and calibrate algorithms that enhance system accuracy and reliability.
- Collaborate tightly with software, hardware, and electrical-mechanical teams to troubleshoot root causes across electronic, mechanical, and fluidic subsystems.
- Translate field insights into firmware improvements—analyzing data and generating proposals for design updates.
- Develop manufacturing support tools, including PCB burn-in routines, installation procedures, and test benches.
- Maintain code integrity, ensure latest firmware is deployed in production, and support transfer to manufacturing.
-
Contribute to documentation, including final test procedures, field service guides, and compliance artifacts.
Must‑haves
- Bachelor's in electrical or software engineering (Master’s preferred).
- 5+ years of embedded C/C++ development on ARM platforms.
- Proficient with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, and schematic review.
- Experience with multi-subsystem devices (electronic, optical, fluidic, application SW).
-
Competent with Windows, MS Office, ECO systems, and Device History Records.
- Analog electronics design experience.
-
Field service or hardware test procedure experience.
- Competitive salary + equity & comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, paid holidays).
- Professional growth in both R&D and sustaining engineering.
- Innovative environment working on world-class cytometry systems used globally.
- Hands-on culture, with cross-functional teamwork and ample autonomy.
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.
