-
Influences firmware release processes and helps evaluate tools/technologies for continuous improvement.
- Produces comprehensive design documents and collaborates on firmware architecture specs.
- Promotes coding standards, style guidelines, and best practices for firmware development.
- Contributes to the development of detailed interface control documents
- Communicates technical topics effectively to non-hardware stakeholders, including project managers and product owners.
- Communicates the status of assigned work including current progress, estimated time to completion, risks, and any required software, equipment, tools, etc. necessary to accomplish assigned work.
- Contributes to development and maintenance of statements of work, budgets, schedules, and risk assessments.
- Leadership & Mentorship:
- Mentors junior and mid-level engineers.
- Supports the development of team members by providing constructive technical feedback
- Demonstrates the ability to receive and act on constructive feedback.
- Fosters a collaborative environment, helping to raise the technical skill of the team
- Demonstrates interpersonal tact when working with others
- Understands that it is critical to act as a united team during external meetings and demonstrates that understanding
- Conducts thorough design reviews, emphasizing best practices for robust design.
- May lead small project teams, coordinating tasks and deliverables to meet deadlines.

Performs other duties as directed.
Education & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering/Computer Science
-
5+ years of experience in a firmware engineering role, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Proficient with Microsoft Office suite (Microsoft 365, Teams).
-
Proficiency in using code management and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, SVN, GIT)
- Understanding of USB Protocol.
- Working knowledge of RTOS/Linux embedded designs.
- Understanding of audio/video data stream processing.
- Familiarity with Object-Oriented modular coding styles including data structures.
-
Experience with ARM processor designs and development.
- Regular on-site attendance is a necessary function of this position.
- Ability to lift up to 25 lbs. occasionally, for handling parts and prototypes.
- Ability to work at a computer for extended periods.

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.
