The Role
You will plan, build, and execute the verification of new SoCs on emulation platforms, enabling firmware and software bring-up pre-silicon. Your work will help ensure a bug-free final design and accelerate ASIC bring-up.
THE PERSON:
You’re passionate about modern, complex processor architectures, digital design, and verification. A strong team player, you communicate effectively and collaborate smoothly with engineers across multiple sites and time zones. You bring excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, a willingness to learn, and a proactive attitude toward tackling challenges.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Collaborate with architects, hardware, and firmware engineers to understand features and verification needs
- Define emulation configurations and create sanity tests
- Bring up configurations on different emulators (e.g., Veloce, Zebu, Palladium)
- Work closely with RTL and firmware teams to identify and resolve defects
-
Provide support to downstream emulation users
- Strong proficiency in SoC-level ASIC verification
- Skilled in debugging firmware and RTL using simulation tools
- Experienced with Verilog, SystemVerilog, C, and C++
- Solid background in C/C++ programming on Linux, with some exposure to Windows
- Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and Verilog
- Working knowledge of SystemC and TLM
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Makefile, and shell scripting
-
Leadership or mentorship experience is a plus
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

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.
