Real-Time Embedded Systems C Control Systems
If you love getting close to hardware and writing software that makes real systems come alive this is the kind of role you ll want to hear about.
This Embedded Software Engineer role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world engineering challenges through clean, efficient embedded code.
You ll be working on sophisticated microprocessor-based systems where software directly controls sensing, real-time processing and closed-loop control functionality. This is the kind of role where your code doesn t just sit behind a screen it drives real products, interacts with hardware and delivers measurable performance.
If you enjoy low-level development, hardware interaction, debugging at component level and seeing your work move from concept to deployment, this could be a brilliant next step.
What You ll Be Doing
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you ll play a key role in developing software across both embedded targets and supporting desktop applications.
Your day-to-day will include:
Developing high-quality embedded software for microprocessor-based real-time systems
Writing efficient, robust C code for embedded applications
Developing software for closed-loop control and sensing applications
Working with advanced embedded platforms including SoC and microcontroller-based devices
Supporting development across platforms such as Zynq 7000 SoC, TI MSP430 and Renesas RX series processors
Designing and developing supporting Windows-based applications for control, configuration and testing
Building GUI-based tools using C# within Microsoft Visual Studio
Collaborating on the full product development lifecycle from requirements analysis through to implementation and installation
Debugging hardware and software issues at component and system level
Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop robust, high-performance solutions
This is a role where you ll have genuine technical ownership and visibility across the full development process.
The Kind of Embedded Software Engineer Who Thrives Here
You re someone who enjoys understanding how things work at a low level.
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you re naturally curious, technically hands-on and enjoy getting into the detail whether that s debugging hardware interactions, optimising embedded performance or solving complex control challenges.
You re equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative engineering team, and you care about writing software that is reliable, maintainable and built to perform.
Most importantly, you enjoy building products that solve real technical problems.
What You ll Bring
Strong experience programming embedded systems
Proven ability writing high-quality embedded C (minimum 2+ years)
Experience using Microsoft Visual Studio
Experience developing Windows applications, ideally in C#
Hands-on hardware debugging and testing experience at component level
Strong technical troubleshooting and debugging skills
Ability to work both collaboratively and independently
Degree in Computing, Electronics, Engineering or another numerate discipline (or equivalent experience)
Desirable Experience
Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:
Control theory and implementation of digital control systems
Video systems and associated standards
Linux-based development environments
Experience working with embedded SoC platforms
Real-time sensing or closed-loop control applications
Why This Embedded Software Engineer Role Stands Out
This Embedded Software Engineer position offers far more than pure firmware development.
You ll work across both embedded and desktop software, gain exposure to advanced processing platforms, and contribute to products that combine software, control systems and hardware in meaningful ways.
It s an opportunity to develop broad technical capability while staying deeply hands-on with the engineering.
For engineers who enjoy variety, technical challenge and seeing their software directly influence product performance, this is a role with real substance.
