Pioneering a new frontier at the intersection of embedded systems and automation, this deep-tech start-up, founded by industry veterans with a track record of success, is transforming how developers interact with modern SoCs. Backed by high-profile UK investors and with a global engineering presence, their platform is reshaping low-level software development using cutting-edge AI and automation.

This is a rare opportunity to influence the foundations of next-generation embedded tooling. You’ll work with a team that includes alumni from some of the world’s most advanced tech organisations, contributing to a mission that is reinventing how silicon gets from datasheet to deployed system.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop core components of a next-gen embedded software toolchain
• Create intelligent code generators for firmware, middleware, and device drivers
• Collaborate closely with AI/ML teams to automate datasheet analysis and system configuration
• Work with C/C++ codebases across Linux and RTOS environments
• Architect embedded software layouts and analyse SoC-level device trees

Essential Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years in embedded systems development
• Proficiency in C/C++ for both bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
• Experience with low-level tools, including compilers, debuggers, linkers, and build systems
• Hands-on work with firmware bring-up and embedded debugging

Desirable Skills:

• Python or scripting skills for automation and tool integration
• Familiarity with SoC documentation formats and data extraction techniques

This is an ideal role for an embedded engineer who thrives on technical depth, is passionate about improving developer tooling, and wants to work on genuinely groundbreaking technology.
