Do you want to write code for systems that actually move, fly, or orbit? Are you looking to step away from repetitive product maintenance and move into a high-innovation environment where you might be working on a range of projects and applications.
We are looking for a high-caliber Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join a leading technology business. This role is designed for an engineer who thrives on technical variety and wants to play a key part in turning "impossible" concepts into real-world, high-integrity platforms.
The Role
Working within a multidisciplinary team of hardware, RF, and FPGA experts, you will architect and develop embedded software for a diverse range of projects. You will be a hands-on technical engineer, moving through the full development lifecycle—from rapid prototyping and "proof of concept" studies to full-scale, safety-critical production systems.
Your Technical Profile
* Language Expertise: Strong proficiency in C and/or C++ for embedded systems.
* Platform Experience: Extensive experience developing for embedded platforms (ARM, STM32, or similar Microcontrollers).
* OS Knowledge: Solid understanding of Embedded Linux (Yocto/PetaLinux).
* Systems Architecture: Ability to design scalable, robust software using UML and rigorous engineering practices.
* Interfacing: Comfortable working close to the metal, including interfacing with on-board FPGAs and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN).
The "Value Add"
* Experience with Python or MATLAB for algorithm development and testing.
* Familiarity with Low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) design constraints—crucial for drone and space applications.
* A background in Signal Processing or Robotics (ROS/ROS2).
* The ability to mentor junior engineers and act as a "Design Authority" for software workstreams.
The Rewards
- Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 (dependent on experience).- Benefits: Matched pension, private medical insurance, flexible working options, and a dedicated training budget for your professional development.
