Embedded Firmware Engineer | Medical Devices | Hybrid (Remote + some office work in Cheshire)
Fed up with "agile sprints" where nothing actually ships?
Here's something different.
Medical device manufacturer needs an embedded firmware engineer who can work with real code, not just talk about it.
The work:
Life-support equipment. Oxygen systems, breathing devices - stuff that actually matters.
You'll be debugging and improving legacy C code on memory-constrained microcontrollers. RTOS or bare-metal. Adding new features - wireless comms, connectivity - without breaking what already works.
This isn't "let's rewrite everything because the last guy didn't use our preferred design pattern." It's pragmatic engineering. Make it work, make it right, make it fast.
Regulated environment (IEC 62304, 60601), but if you're coming from aerospace or automotive, they'll train you on the medical side.
The reality:
Small R&D team. Hands-on lab work with proper test equipment - oscilloscopes, climatic chambers, gas testing rigs. Not just staring at a screen all day.
Hybrid working - occasional travel to Cheshire when needed. But as long as the projects get completed, the Manager is flexible in terms of where you work.
