A Lead Software Engineer with a solid background in Embedded Software development (C/C++), good knowledge of electronics and strong commercial delivery experience will join a thriving Technical Consultancy.

You’ll combine hands-on technical delivery (80%) and people leadership (small team of approx. 3-7).

This dynamic Consultancy works across sectors such as Defence, Healthcare, Industrial and Communications – delivering solutions that combine embedded software, electronics, FPGA, Cloud and system level functionality.

The Lead Software Engineer should bring:

  • A solid academic background.

In this role the successful Lead Embedded Software Engineer will primarily contribute directly to engineering work; will provide line management and support project planning as well as helping to shape software processes and the technology roadmap. Projects will span a wide range of applications from embedded systems for radar and sensing technologies to advanced communication systems.

A generous salary will be offered depending on your level of experience. Hybrid working available (3 days in office / 2 WFH) + private healthcare, Company Bonus, 25 days holiday, Life Assurance, free refreshments and more. Applicants must have full eligibility to work in the UK.
