📌Gurgaon, India 🇮🇳
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
Key Responsibilities
- Develop test plans and test cases for system, integration, and regression testing on mobile and IoT-class SoCs (e.g., camera, multimedia, networking, connectivity).
- Flash and boot Yocto-generated images (e.g., qcom-multimedia-image, real-time variants) on hardware evaluation kits.
- Validate key subsystems: bootloader, kernel, drivers (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, camera, display), power management, real-time functionality.
- Build and maintain automation frameworks: kernel image deployment, logging, instrumentation, hardware reset, network interfaces.
- Track and report software/hardware defects; work with cross-functional engineering teams to triage and resolve issues.
- Analyze system logs, trace output, measure boot/latency, resource utilization and performance metrics.
-
Maintain test infrastructure and CI pipelines, ensuring reproducibility and efficiency.
Mandatory Skills
Strong C/C++ & scripting (Python, Bash)
Yocto & BitBake workflows, experience building BSPs and flashing images on development boards
Linux kernel internals, drivers, real-time patches
Experience with Qualcomm SoCs or similar ARM platforms; Hands-on knowledge of QCS/QRB platforms and multimedia pipelines
Hardware bring-up, serial consoles, bootloader debugging (U-Boot)
GitLab/ Jenkins / Buildbot, hardware-triggered automation
Performance analysis and profiling tools
Ability to measure boot time, trace latency, optimize kernel subsystems
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience debugging multimedia subsystems (camera, display, audio, video pipelines).
- Familiarity with Debian/Ubuntu-based host build environments.
- Knowledge of Qualcomm-specific test tools and manifest workflows (e.g., meta-qcom-realtime, qcom-manifest)
- Prior work in IoT/robotics, real-time or safety-critical embedded platforms.
- Exposure to certification/regulatory testing (e.g., FCC, Bluetooth SIG, Wi‑Fi Alliance).
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.
