Salary: £37,158 - 50,639 per year Requirements: I am looking for an expert in C/C++ for embedded systems. I require a strong understanding of Linux operating systems and application development, including Yocto. An appreciation of the power generation industry and/or control and automation solutions is essential. I expect familiarity with product development and the management of multi-discipline teams. Knowledge of software development life cycles, tools, and processes is a must. I value experience with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, 61508, or IEC 60730. A good understanding of cyber security principles and technologies for embedded systems is important. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required. You should possess a strong ability in work breakdown and task estimation, with a willingness to commit and drive projects to completion. Familiarity with combined stage-gated (waterfall) and agile development approaches is preferred. I look for risk identification and mitigation techniques. Comfort communicating with both technical engineers and management is essential. Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting capabilities are necessary. Enthusiasm and optimism are qualities I appreciate. You should have 7 years of experience as a senior engineer or team leader, with direct reports. A minimum of 7 years working as an embedded software engineer with a mixture of RTOS and Linux project exposure is required. A background in electronics, possibly from your degree education, is desirable. Relevant Bachelor's Degree is necessary. Responsibilities: I will task you with line management of a segment of our DSE engineering team, located at both our North Yorkshire and Sutton in Ashfield sites, with some remote and hybrid working in place. Your line management duties will include day-to-day task management, conducting 1:1 appraisals, goal setting, creating and guiding personal development plans, and reviewing holiday approval and sickness. You will work collaboratively with the Project Managers to review the technical content of projects and define and estimate the duration of tasks to form project plans, ensuring they are technically correct and appropriate timeframes are adhered to. I expect you to allocate engineering work tasks to your reporting segment using JIRA or similar task management tools. Providing technical guidance and mentoring junior engineers will be part of your role. You will be responsible for reviewing engineering work to ensure a high standard of output from your segment. Ensuring that your engineers have the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to complete tasks is crucial, and you will work with the engineering management team to address any gaps. You will engage in the project inception stage to provide product and project cost estimates, feasibility studies, and ensure that high-level technical requirements are completely captured before wider engineering involvement. As a technical decision-maker, you will contribute to platform and architecture strategy. Assisting in the development of in-house tools and processes will also be a part of your responsibilities. You will support the wider company by answering technical questions and administer engineering systems, revision and variant control systems, and issue management systems. Collaborating with other supervisors and engineering managers to ensure alignment on technology, processes, designs, and testing will be necessary. Review department KPIs to ensure targets are being met. Depending on the size of the team, you may work hands-on as an engineer for the relevant discipline. You will also handle risk identification and mitigation techniques relating to the determination of functional safety levels and should be comfortable communicating with technical engineers.
