UAE National - Firmware Engineer II
📌Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
Halcon mission is to bring innovative technologies to revolutionise the defence industry, through offering next-generation weapons systems and robotics expertise to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
We design, manufacture, assemble and integrate components for gravity-release guided systems, missiles and loitering munitions.
Role Purpose:
Contributes to the design and development of advanced optical camera systems. The position focuses on FPGA-based image acquisition, high-speed digital interfaces, and real-time processing. The role requires strong technical expertise in FPGA design and digital electronics, with the ability to work independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in optics, mechanics, and embedded software.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and verify FPGA logic for image sensor data acquisition and processing.
- Develop and integrate high-speed communication protocols (Camera Link, CoaXPress, MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0).
- Implement image preprocessing algorithms (demosaicing, compression, formatting) within FPGA hardware.
- Conduct simulation, synthesis, and timing analysis to ensure robust FPGA operation.
- Support PCB layout and high-speed signal integrity validation (differential pairs, impedance matching, jitter control).
- Collaborate with embedded engineers to ensure seamless integration between FPGA and system-level software.
- Participate in hardware testing, debugging, and system validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and automated setups.
- Prepare technical documentation, including FPGA design specifications, test reports, and interface guidelines.
-
Software & Tools
- 5+ years of relevant experience in FPGA design and high-speed interface development, preferably in imaging or sensor-based systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
-
Experience contributing to hardware prototypes or Camera system (preferred to be seeker system) development.
EDGE GROUP, headquartered in Abu Dhabi is a Semi Governmental, Defence and Space Manufacturing company consolidates 35+subsidiaries into main 5 clusters: Missiles and Weapon, Platform & Systems, Space & Cyber defense, Trading & Mission Support and Homeland Security.

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.
