Pektron Group Ltd is searching for a Senior/ Principal Embedded Software Engineer who will be responsible for writing software for a range of bespoke products.
Our Engineering attitude is confident and can do and with solid research and a lot of intuition we nearly always succeed
Nearly all of our code is written in C, mainly because its the most widely available language for the variety of 32 bit micros we use on our boards and were good at it! We pride ourselves on efficient reliable software and we mix our hardware and software teams together so that we can get the most out of our micros and we get it right first time. All of our code is collaboratively developed with our peers, so you get to learn from the people that know that technology best.
We love engineering and our lunchtime conversations are made up of 3D printing, motorbikes, hyper cars (we sometimes get to play with these), electric vehicles ( weve worked on some of these too) and any other areas of science and technology.
We use a model-based design approach to develop our Application code, via the use of MATLAB, allowing us to spend less time on coding and more time thinking about good quality architecture and design and let the tools (when driven correctly) do the coding! Obviously, theres always plenty of code to be written and we continue to do low and middle level software the traditional way by writing embedded C.
You :
You will be a highly motivated and self-managing Embedded Software Engineer with preferably the experience of working in a customer facing, commercial environment. You will have a highly developed, structured approach to design and the ability to compose a design rationale, along with good technical writing skills and a willingness to work within our collaboratively developed software design ethics and style.
