Remote Embedded Jobs

What’s on this page

Every remote role on 101 Careers that mentions embedded software, embedded Linux, embedded systems, firmware or embedded engineering — bare-metal C and C++ developers writing code that ships inside the device, RTOS specialists scheduling hard real-time work on FreeRTOS and Zephyr, device-driver writers bridging kernels to hardware, and the embedded Linux engineers who build and maintain the Yocto and Buildroot distributions running on routers, gateways and edge boxes. Embedded is the hardware-software boundary as a career: the bugs here can't be reproduced in a unit test — they live in timing, in memory constraints measured in kilobytes, in errata sheets and oscilloscope traces — which is why employers hire for demonstrated depth with toolchains, JTAG debuggers and logic analyzers rather than framework trivia. The remote story has genuinely changed for this field: firmware used to demand a lab and a hardware team down the hall, but modern practice — QEMU emulation, remote test rigs and device farms, firmware OTA pipelines with staged rollouts and rollback, and CI that flashes real boards in another timezone — means a growing share of embedded and firmware roles now hire fully remote, and the hardware comes to you or lives in someone else's rack. The market rewards the scarce combination: engineers who can read a schematic well enough to debug the software against it, who understand interrupts, DMA and memory-mapped peripherals, and who treat firmware updates as a production distributed-systems problem — signing, A/B partitions, and failure modes on a fleet of a million devices. The pool matches the skill in title or description rather than trusting job titles, because "systems engineer", "software engineer" and "IoT platform engineer" listings routinely mean embedded C underneath. The 119 roles below are sorted newest first, sourced mainly from employer ATS boards, and re-checked every few hours so filled seats retire themselves. 5 publish a salary range. 1 are open to junior candidates — hardware-test and firmware-QA seats are the classic on-ramps into embedded careers. Apply direct with no account and no fee. Natural companions: our Linux and cyber security hubs cover the OS layer and secure-boot side of most embedded platforms.

How often this updates

Employer ATS boards are re-read every six hours and partner feeds every three. Roles that disappear from their source are retired automatically, so nothing on this page should be a dead link. Prefer it as a feed? RSS and a free JSON API are both open.
