Job Type: Full-Time
We're looking for a highly motivated Senior Hardware Engineer-FPGA to join our engineering team and help build the next generation of digital printing hardware. If you enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software—and want your work to directly influence real-world industrial automation—this is the role for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement FPGA-based processing and control systems for industrial inkjet printing platforms.
- Develop high-speed logic for real-time printhead control, signal processing, and image data handling.
- Work closely with electrical, software, and mechanical engineering teams to define hardware/software interfaces and performance specifications.
- Implement and optimize interfaces for high-throughput serial data communication (e.g., LVDS, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet).
- Debug and validate FPGA designs using simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim , QuestaSim ) and lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
- Integrate FPGA logic with embedded processors (e.g., ARM cores in Xilinx Zynq or Intel SoCs) for control and diagnostics.
- Write and maintain test benches, documentation, and hardware validation reports.
- Support system-level integration and manufacturing test development.
-
Work closely with our team in Japan by participating in online and in-person workshop sessions.
Required:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 3–7 years of professional experience in Digital design/ FPGA design and development.
- Solid understanding of digital signal processing and real-time control systems.
- Strong proficiency in Verilog and Systemverilog .
- Experience with industry-standard FPGA toolchains (Xilinx Vivado , Intel Quartus, etc.).
- Familiarity with timing analysis, constraint definition, and hardware debugging.
-
Ability to work in a cross-disciplinary environment involving software, electronics, and mechanical systems.
- Experience in digital printing, motion control, or industrial automation.
- Familiarity with inkjet printing systems or high-speed imaging.
- Experience designing and implementing image data pipelines on FPGAs.
- Knowledge of high-speed data protocols (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, DDR memory interfaces).
- Familiarity with embedded Linux, device drivers, or real-time operating systems.
- Scripting and automation experience (Python, TCL, Bash).
-
Experience or familiarity working with Japanese customers.
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.
