We’re seeking a Principal Embedded Software Engineer to take a leading role in the development and evolution of our embedded software across both new products and established designs. This position is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys guiding technical direction, mentoring others, and driving projects to completion in a practical, real‑world engineering environment.
About the Role

As a senior member of the engineering team, you will shape software architecture, lead development activities, and ensure high‑quality delivery across multiple projects. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams — including hardware, systems, test, and product — to ensure seamless integration and robust performance.

- Mentor and support junior and mid‑level engineers
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, systems, and product teams to align requirements and resolve issues
- Ensure effective use of Git workflows and version control processes
- Provide technical input during planning, estimation, and design discussions
- Troubleshoot complex issues on ARM‑based microcontrollers and processors

Required Skills & Experience
- Extensive experience with Embedded C development
- Strong proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows
- Deep understanding of ARM architectures and low‑level programming
- Proven experience leading projects or technical workstreams
- Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and system‑level thinking
- Comfortable working across both legacy codebases and new designs
- Excellent communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration

What We’re Looking For
- A hands‑on technical leader who can guide others while contributing directly
- Someone who enjoys balancing new development with iterative improvement of existing products
- A clear communicator who can work effectively with multidisciplinary teams
- A proactive engineer who takes ownership and drives projects forward

What’s on Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits
- A senior role with real influence over product direction and engineering quality
- Opportunities to mentor, lead, and shape best practices
- A supportive environment where practical engineering and collaboration are valued
