Technical Lead - Embedded & IOT

CraftifAI is building next-generation Agentic GenAI systems to automate embedded software development. Our products accelerate firmware, edge AI, and hardware-software co-design using intelligent pipelines and AI-driven workflows.

FirmGen is our flagship platform focused on automated firmware generation for microcontrollers, enabling developers to move from specifications to production-ready firmware with minimal manual effort.

We are looking for a Technical Lead to drive the architecture, development, and delivery of FirmGen. This role requires deep expertise in embedded systems along with the ability to lead a team building cutting-edge GenAI-powered developer tools.

You will work at the intersection of e mbedded firmware, compilers/toolchains, and AI-driven code generation, shaping how firmware is built in the future.

• Own the end-to-end architecture of the FirmGen platform
• Define scalable, modular, and vendor-agnostic firmware generation pipelines
• Drive design decisions across embedded, backend, and AI integration layers

• Lead development of automated firmware generation workflows
• Build abstractions for:
• MCU peripherals (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, etc.)
• RTOS integration (FreeRTOS or equivalent)
• Hardware abstraction layers (HAL)
• Ensure high-quality, production-grade firmware output

• Mentor and guide a team of embedded and software engineers
• Establish coding standards, review processes, and best practices
• Drive execution, timelines, and delivery commitments

• Work closely with AI teams to integrate LLM-driven code generation
• Design systems that convert:
• Specs → Architecture → Firmware code
• Optimize for correctness, determinism, and efficiency

• Enable support for multiple vendors (e.g.,  ESP32, TI, Quectel, STM, NXP, etc.)
• Build reusable SDK layers and interfaces
• Ensure portability across chipsets and RTOS environments

• 6–10+ years of experience in embedded systems / firmware development
• Strong expertise in:
• C/C++ (mandatory)
• RTOS (FreeRTOS or similar)
• MCU architectures (ARM Cortex-M, RISC)
• Experience with:
• Device drivers and peripheral programming
• Hardware abstraction layers (HAL)
• Debugging on real hardware
• Proven experience in:
• Designing scalable system architectures
• Leading engineering teams or owning modules end-to-end

• Experience with:
• Code generation tools or compilers
• SDK design (vendor-agnostic layers preferred)
• AI/LLM integration in developer workflows
• Familiarity with:
• Embedded Linux
• Communication stacks (HTTP, MQTT, TCP/IP)
• Toolchains (GCC, Make, CMake, etc.)
• Prior experience building developer platforms or tools is a strong plus

• Strong system thinker who can connect hardware, firmware, and AI
• Bias for ownership and execution
• Ability to work in a fast-moving startup environment
• Passion for solving hard, unsolved problems in embedded + AI

• Work on one of the hardest problems in GenAI: embedded software automation
• Build a category-defining product (FirmGen)
• High ownership, high impact role
• Collaborate with a deeply technical founding team
