Who We Are
We’re a fast-moving embodied intelligence company building next-generation systems where power density, thermal efficiency, and mechanical integration are critical. Our work combines high-performance motors, custom motor controllers, and tightly integrated designs — pushing the limits of what’s possible in constrained form factors.
What You’ll Do
We are seeking a hands-on Thermo-Mechanical Engineer to own the complete thermal strategy across our motors, motor controllers, and actuator assemblies. You will play a key role in ensuring our systems can operate reliably and at peak performance within aggressive space and weight constraints.
You will:
- Develop thermal models (both analytical and simulation-based) of motors, controllers, and integrated assemblies.
- Design and execute experiments to validate and refine thermal models with real-world data.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems teams to architect thermal management solutions (air-cooled, liquid-cooled, or hybrid).
- Evaluate and design packaging solutions to balance thermal dissipation, manufacturability, and structural integrity.
- Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for thermal components and assemblies.
- Lead thermal risk assessments and contribute thermal insights across the full product development cycle — from concept to production.
What You’ll Need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years experience in thermal analysis, thermal design, and mechanical integration for high-power or high-density systems (robotics, aerospace, EVs, or similar industries).
- Strong foundation in fluid dynamics and heat transfer fundamentals, with practical experience in CFD and thermal FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL, FloTHERM, STAR-CCM+).
- Experience designing experiments to validate thermal performance (temperature mapping, thermocouple placement, IR imaging, etc.).
- Familiarity with thermal interface materials, heatsink design, and packaging considerations in space-constrained environments.
- Hands-on prototyping and testing experience.
- Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
Bonus Points
- Experience with motor cooling strategies (e.g., rotor cooling, stator slot cooling, direct liquid cooling).
- Experience in high-performance robotics, drone, aerospace, or EV motor systems.
- Familiarity with electrical and electronic component thermal management (e.g., FETs, PCBs).
- Prior experience in scaling designs for low-volume manufacturing.
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience
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.
