KO2’s client is a well-established, employee-owned consultancy that designs bespoke embedded electronic products for a wide range of applications. With a strong reputation for delivering high-quality engineering solutions, they combine in-house product development with custom design work, giving engineers the chance to work on varied, technically challenging projects across the full lifecycle.
They are now looking for a Mid to Senior Electronics Engineer with strong embedded software experience to join their growing team.
This is a hands‑on role sitting right at the hardware–software boundary. You’ll be involved in everything from schematic capture and PCB design through to board bring‑up and embedded C development, working on complex embedded systems including microcontroller and application processor‑based designs.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing analogue and digital electronics, including PCB layout
* Bringing up new hardware and debugging at board level using embedded software
* Developing embedded C code to support hardware validation and functionality
* Working across the full product lifecycle, from concept through to production
* Contributing to a range of projects, including next‑generation embedded and IoT‑style systems
What they’re looking for
* A well‑rounded electronics engineer with solid embedded software skills
* Strong experience in analogue and digital design
* Confidence with board bring‑up and debugging using embedded C
* Experience with common interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, CAN
* Comfortable working with microcontrollers (e.g. ARM Cortex‑M) and ideally application processors
* Someone adaptable and capable of picking up new technologies (e.g. Linux, FPGA, or higher‑level software where required)
* Embedded Linux or RTOS experience
* Mains‑powered design / power supply experience
* Experience with single board computer or similar embedded platforms
* Exposure to production or manufacturing environments
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, engineering‑led environment where you’ll work on genuinely interesting products rather than narrow, siloed tasks. Engineers here are involved in real problem‑solving, not just incremental changes.
The business offers a unique and highly attractive working pattern
* Every other Friday off
* Early finish at 1pm on the alternate Friday
They are also employee‑owned, which means you benefit directly from the company’s success.
This includes
* A profit‑related bonus, with up to £3,600 per year tax‑free
* The opportunity to receive free shares and purchase additional shares in the business
Additional benefits include
* Private medical insurance
* Competitive holiday allowance, increasing with service
* A supportive, non‑corporate culture focused on quality engineering rather than long hours
This role is based on‑site, reflecting the hands‑on nature of the work, particularly around hardware development and lab‑based testing.
If you’re an engineer who enjoys working across both electronics and embedded software, and you want to be part of a business where your work genuinely makes an impact, this is well worth exploring.
