About Embedder

Embedder is a coding agent that can write and test firmware on real hardware.

Today's coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) are optimized for software engineering tasks. They lack the hardware-specific context required to program embedded systems, resulting in plausible-looking code that is functionally useless on a real device. Embedder indexes hardware documentation and connects to physical tools, allowing it to autonomously test and validate the firmware it generates in the real world.

About the role
Skills: C, C++, Device Drivers, Embedded Linux, Firmware, Internet of Things (IoT), Microcontrollers
