Job Description
Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Cellular / DSP
Bedfordshire | Hybrid
This is an engineering team where decisions aren’t pushed up the chain — they’re made by the people doing the work.
The structure is flat.
The expectation is ownership.
And the engineers here don’t just build systems — they shape how they’re built.
You’ll be working on live wireless systems, taking real cellular signals and making them usable in unpredictable environments.
Not simulations. Not ideal conditions.
Real-world RF problems that need solving properly.
The Role
You’ll operate across the embedded stack, with the freedom to approach problems properly — not within rigid boundaries:
* Embedded C firmware development
* Cellular protocol layers (MAC / RLC)
* DSP implementation where needed
* Integration with RF hardware, DSPs and FPGA platforms
You won’t be siloed.
You’ll work directly with RF, hardware, FPGA and DSP engineers to solve system-level challenges.
The Environment
A ~20-person engineering team spanning RF, DSP, FPGA, hardware and software.
What makes it different:
* Engineers self-manage — no micromanagement
* Decisions are made within the team, not escalated through layers
* Collaboration is direct and cross-disciplinary
* You’re trusted to own problems end-to-end, not just your piece
For the right person, that level of trust — and responsibility — is genuinely liberating.
Why This Role
* Engineers influence technical direction, not just delivery
* Work on real-world wireless systems, not controlled environments
* Broad exposure across embedded, DSP, RF and system integration
* Employee-owned structure — you have a real stake in the business
What Matters
* Strong Embedded C experience
* Exposure to cellular systems (ideally across layers L1/L2/L3 of the protocol stack)
* Experience working close to hardware / performance-critical systems
* Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability
* DSP implementation experience is highly beneficial
Package
* £75,000 – £85,000 base
* ~15% profit-related bonus
* 7% non-contributory pension
* Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite)
If you prefer environments where everything is defined for you — this probably isn’t the right fit.
If you want ownership, influence, and the freedom to solve complex problems properly, it’s worth a conversation.
