IT Search is partnered with a global semiconductor company known for cutting-edge mixed-signal and embedded solutions across aerospace, industrial, and high-reliability systems.
We're now hiring an Embedded Tools Engineer to join the FPGA division – focused on building internal and open-source developer tools, including VS Code extensions, to support embedded software development on custom RISC-V-based SoCs. This is a hands-on engineering role bridging embedded systems and modern developer experience.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Designing and developing VS Code extensions and embedded developer tools
* Integrating with debuggers (GDB), flashing tools (OpenOCD), and custom SoC toolchains
* Supporting Linux-based firmware development workflows for RISC-V / ARM
* Working with CMake and other build systems to streamline tool integration
* Collaborating with architecture, silicon and embedded software teams
* Contributing to open tooling and improving the internal developer experience
What We’re Looking For:
* Background in embedded systems, developer tooling or both
* Some experience with C/C++, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, and CMake
* Familiarity with OpenOCD, GDB, and embedded debugging workflows
* Comfortable with Linux-based development environments
* Bonus: experience with VS Code plugin development or FPGA platforms (e.g. Xilinx Zynq)
This is a hands-on, impactful role that would suit an engineer excited about building tools for other engineers. The team works on a hybrid basis (2–3 days onsite), with strong benefits including bonus, pension, health insurance, and employee share options.
