Embedded Software Engineer (Archangel Autonomy)
Join Archangel Autonomy as an Embedded Software Engineer. Archangel engineers design and deploy low‑Swap embedded devices to enable edge AI in the air and on the ground. These devices incorporate cameras, IMUs, LIDARs, radios (4G, LoRaWAN, mesh), compute, batteries, and more. To deliver compelling products we need to get the most out of the hardware devices and software we build.
Role Responsibilities
* Capture requirements, design, build, and test software for our small volume, fully functioning edge compute devices.
* Develop and integrate software or firmware in areas including drivers, boot logic, board bring‑up/testing, deep learning inference, cameras and ISPs, wireless mesh & IoT communications, and battery power monitoring GPS/GNSS positioning.
* Support development teams with rapid prototyping of PCBs and liaise with other teams to integrate components.
* Research and select new microcontrollers and embedded systems to prototype new products or features.
* Test software and devices, e.g. range testing radios, measuring solar charging efficiency or deep learning model accuracy in real‑world tests.
Qualifications
* BSc or MSc in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related engineering field.
* Experience delivering functioning commercial embedded software.
* Excellent C/C++ skills & familiarity with Python and object‑oriented programming.
* Understanding of Linux and kernel programming (device trees) and interfaces such as SPI, UART, CAN, USB.
* Proficiency developing for bare‑metal and embedded devices (e.g. STM32, ARM Cortex‑M0, RTOS).
* Ability to travel for events and field tests in the UK and abroad up to 10% of the time.
* Desirable: experience with camera modules, sensors, ISPs, modern embedded wireless technologies (LoRa, Wi‑Fi, 4G, mesh), battery technologies, control theory, and deploying software on Nvidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi or ARM devices.
* Highlight relevant skills such as embedded software optimization, power profiling, drone/UAS space experience, embedded programming on UAVs or robots, rapid prototyping, PCB design, 3D modelling and manufacturing.
Benefits
* The ability to make a measurable difference in a rapidly growing start‑up.
* Fast‑paced environment with a world‑class, positive, talented, and high‑achieving team.
* Merit‑based compensation.
* 25 days holiday plus UK bank holidays.
* Relocation support package.
* Team socials.
* Perks such as free Monday team lunch, Cycle2Work scheme, private medical insurance, and a yearly voucher for your favourite app.
