Embedd
Digital twins of chips that generate their own driver code
Last verified August 26, 2026 · Updated daily
What Embedd is building
Embedd is a board support package generator. You point it at a chip's datasheet and it produces the device drivers, the devicetree, and the BSP that let real software talk to that silicon. Targets include Zephyr, bare-metal, Linux and AUTOSAR. The primitive underneath is the digital twin: Embedd models the chip itself from its documentation, then runs AI agents against that model to emit integration code and the tests and simulations to check it. The distinction matters. Most code-generation tools point a language model at documentation and hope. Embedd's own framing is deterministic generation from a chip spec, which is the only version that survives contact with an automotive safety review. A driver that is 95% right is a driver that bricks a board in the field. The wedge is the semiconductor vendors themselves, not the device makers. Embedd went live commercially in April 2026 and is already working with Microchip Technology, where it is generating Zephyr ecosystem support. That is the sharper business: a chip vendor whose parts lack drivers for the popular RTOS loses design wins, and manually staffing that backlog across a catalogue of thousands of parts is not economic. Embedd sells the vendor its own ecosystem coverage. The company claims production-ready semiconductor software up to six times faster than hand-writing it. Treat the multiple as a vendor number, but the underlying observation is not controversial to anyone who has read 3,000 pages of a reference manual to make one I2C sensor work.
Why this matters
Every robot, drone, EV and infusion pump is a software stack sitting on dozens of chips that share no common language. The founders did not find this problem in a market map. They ran a hardware company, hit Covid-era chip shortages, had to source whatever parts were available, and rewrote their firmware from scratch each time. Then Russia invaded Ukraine and disrupted them again. The pain is autobiographical. The timing argument is the physical-AI buildout. Model capability is no longer the bottleneck for robotics; the bottleneck is the unglamorous integration layer between silicon and the stack above it, and that layer is still hand-written by scarce embedded engineers. Seedcamp led a pre-seed into a company selling picks and shovels to the shovel makers, at the exact moment demand for embedded talent outstrips supply.

London is where most Embedd positions are located.
How to actually get hired at Embedd
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Embedd has an ATS but the real pipeline is referrals → sourced → recruiter picks → cold apps. You can still get through, but know where you stand.
Who to contact at Embedd
What to show them
Take an MCU with thin Zephyr support, write the driver and devicetree bindings by hand, and time yourself honestly. Then write up where the datasheet was ambiguous, where the errata contradicted it, and what a generator would have had to infer to get it right. Publish it as a short repo plus a page of notes. You have just written Embedd's test case for them.
A cold email that works at Embedd
What Embedd screens for
Seedcamp plus Connect Ventures plus Cocoa is a European seed syndicate that backs infrastructure with a clear first customer, and Embedd had one before the round closed. Microchip is a reference logo that makes the next five semiconductor conversations easier, which means the constraint is now delivery capacity, not demand. Under ten people, contracts signed, money in the bank, no public job board: this is the two-month window where a specific inbound email lands on the CEO's desk instead of in an ATS.
Tailor your CV to the specific Embedd role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.
Don't make these mistakes
Do not open with generic excitement about AI agents or physical AI. Michael, Maxim and Valentin spent years shipping actual hardware and then got their firmware invalidated twice by forces outside their control. They are allergic to abstraction. Also skip the 'I built an LLM wrapper that reads PDFs' pitch, since reading the datasheet is the easy half and they know it. Lead with a driver you brought up yourself: the part number, the peripheral that did not behave like the manual said, and how you found out.
Mistakes that kill Embedd applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. At people it's obvious, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
Nobody cares what you want. Start with Every robot, drone, EV and infusion pump is a software stack sitting on dozens of chips that share no common language and how you'd help.
Most Tech applications get ghosted. A day-five follow-up can double your response rate.
