For our teams in Brno and Rožnov, we are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer focused on Rust and modern embedded systems.
If you already work with Rust — or you are coming from embedded C and want to take the next step — this role gives you the opportunity to build real systems on real hardware, not just prototypes or side projects.
At NXP, you will design and develop production-grade embedded software, working close to silicon and influencing how Rust is used across MCU platforms.
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) enables secure connections for a smarter world, advancing solutions that make lives easier, better, and safer. As the world leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications, NXP is driving innovation in the automotive, industrial & IoT, mobile, and communication infrastructure markets. Built on more than 60 years of combined experience and expertise, the company has approximately 29,000 employees in more than 30 countries and posted revenue of $8.61 billion in 2020.
Develop drivers, middleware, and system components in Rust for MCU platforms (MCX, LPC, i.MX RT, Kinetis)
Work on low-level bring-up (clocking, interrupts, memory layout, peripherals)
Design clean, safe, and maintainable Rust abstractions
Build async embedded applications using the Embassy framework
Debug real hardware issues using JTAG, tracing, and lab equipment
Contribute to design decisions and architecture of Rust-based components
Work closely with local HW and SW teams on real product platforms
Use modern tools (including AI) to reduce repetitive work and focus on system design, performance, and correctness
5+ years of embedded software experience (strong C and/or Rust background)
Solid understanding of MCU architecture (ARM Cortex-M or similar)
Experience with low-level debugging and peripherals
Comfort working close to hardware (schematics, bring-up, lab work)
Experience with Git and modern development workflows
Nice to have:
Experience with Rust in embedded systems
Exposure to async programming or RTOS concepts
Familiarity with MCU SDKs (e.g., MCUXpresso)
Work directly with real silicon and development boards in our labs
Build new implementations in Rust, not just wrappers
Influence how Rust is used in production embedded systems
Be part of a team with strong embedded expertise in the Czech Republic
Learn and grow through practical, system-level engineering challenges
