The opportunity

This is an opportunity to work on advanced, real-world technology where your work genuinely matters. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be involved in developing innovative systems that address complex technical challenges in highly demanding environments.

You will work alongside multidisciplinary teams of experienced engineers, scientists and designers, exploring new ideas and rapidly turning them into working prototypes. The role is technically varied, fast-paced and hands-on, offering exposure to the full product lifecycle and the freedom to solve problems creatively.

What you will be doing

• Working across the full development lifecycle, from requirements capture and design through to implementation, testing, documentation and prototype delivery
• Developing embedded software for cutting-edge and experimental platforms
• Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to rapidly design and implement solutions
• Solving complex technical problems using a practical, engineering-led approach
• Contributing to multiple technically demanding projects, often at the forefront of emerging technology

What we are looking for

• 3+ years’ experience in embedded software development
• Strong experience programming in C, plus at least one additional language such as C++, C#, or MATLAB
• Experience working with Linux in an embedded or systems context
• A relevant degree in engineering, computer science or a related discipline
• A proven track record of designing and implementing robust technical solutions

Desirable experience

• Bare-metal or RTOS development on ARM-based targets
• High-level software architecture and system design
• Embedded software debugging and fault-finding techniques
• Electronics development or hands-on hardware debugging
• Scripting for testing or signal processing, for example using Python or MATLAB

Background

Engineers from a broad range of industries are encouraged to apply. Experience working in highly regulated or technically complex environments is beneficial but not essential. Curiosity, adaptability and strong problem-solving skills are key to success in this role
