Job Description

At TTP, we partner with clients across healthcare, communications, industrial automation and deep tech sectors to solve ambitious, technically challenging problems. We bring together expertise in software, electronics, physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering and product development to create breakthrough technologies and products.

We’re looking for an experienced embedded software engineer who is ready to take responsibility for the definition of complex software‑enabled systems and provide the technical leadership necessary for their successful delivery.

This role would suit someone who enjoys staying close to software engineering fundamentals while progressing to systems and software architecture, multidisciplinary problem solving, technical leadership, and accountability for software delivery across complex development programmes.

You may currently be working as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer or Firmware Engineer and be looking for an opportunity to broaden your impact beyond day‑to‑day development. Or you may be operating as a Technical Lead, Systems Engineer or Principal Engineer, with experience in technical leadership and systems thinking. Either way, this role offers the opportunity to have real influence over how sophisticated products, devices and connected systems are designed and delivered.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams and clients to shape the architecture, technical direction and delivery of complex device and software systems.

Depending on the Project, You Could Be

  • Defining system architectures for connected devices and embedded systems
  • Leading technical delivery across software, electronics and systems engineering
  • Solving complex integration and performance challenges
  • Shaping technical solutions with clients and multidisciplinary teams
  • Mentoring engineers and influencing technical decision making

What We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in people with strong embedded systems or device software experience, alongside an ability to think broadly about how complex systems fit together.

You’ll Likely Bring

  • A strong academic foundation, including a 2:1 degree or above in a relevant subject
  • Strong experience developing embedded software or firmware for complex devices or physical products
  • A systems‑thinking mindset and interest in architecture and integration
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams and clients

Experience in areas such as cloud‑connected systems, cyber‑security, application software, AI/ML or regulated environments would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Benefits

TTP operates from an award‑winning campus in green surroundings in Melbourn, just south of Cambridge.

We Offer a Generous Benefits Package Including

  • Annual profit‑related bonus
  • Virtual shares that reward you with a stake in TTP Group’s long‑term success
  • Employer pension contribution of 10% of salary
  • Private medical insurance for employees and dependants
  • Free onsite lunch
  • Life insurance worth 6× salary
  • 25 days holiday
  • Enhanced parental leave and flexible return‑to‑work support
  • Electric car leasing and cycle‑to‑work schemes
  • Interest‑free season ticket loan
  • Local sports facilities and theatre discounts and memberships
  • Comprehensive relocation support (if applicable)
