Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Embedded Control – EV)
We're working with an innovative UK-based electric vehicle company that is rethinking commercial transport from the ground up. This is not a concept-stage business — they already have a working vehicle and are now scaling their technology and team.
They are now looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to play a key role in building the software that controls their next-generation electric vehicle platform.
This is a hands-on embedded control role, focused on developing software that directly controls real vehicle systems.
You'll be involved from early-stage system definition through to implementation, integration and validation — helping shape how the vehicle behaves in the real world.
What You'll Be Doing
* Develop embedded software in C for real-time systems
* Design and implement control logic for vehicle functions
* Work with CAN and vehicle communication networks
* Support system integration across powertrain and energy systems
* Debug and validate software on real hardware
* Contribute to system architecture and technical decisions
* Collaborate closely with hardware, systems and integration teams
What We're Looking For
* Strong experience in embedded software development (C)
* Experience with real-time systems / RTOS
* Solid understanding of CAN / vehicle communication
* Direct experience working on electrified systems, such as:
* Electric drivetrain / motor / inverter
* Battery systems / BMS
* Vehicle or energy management systems
* Experience working on real hardware systems, not just simulation
* Comfortable working in a hands-on, fast-moving environment
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the product — combining embedded software with real-world system behaviour — and wants to play a key role in building something from the ground up.
