Embedded Software Integration Engineer – Engine Electronics
Location: Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (Staffordshire also considered)
Employment Type: 12 Month Contract
Salary: £21.00 to £25.20 per hour
This is an exciting opportunity for a Software Integration Engineer to work in a high-impact role developing and integrating embedded engine control features that power the machines of tomorrow.
About the Role
As part of the Engine Applications Software Team, you will help develop and deliver cutting-edge embedded software that directly controls the performance and efficiency of complex power systems. You’ll work across disciplines to develop features using Matlab/Simulink, conduct rigorous testing, and support the integration of high-performance electronic systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, implement, and integrate embedded software features for advanced engine systems.
* Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand system requirements and deliver tailored software solutions.
* Develop control algorithms using Matlab/Simulink and verify them via Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
* Troubleshoot and resolve system issues encountered during development or testing.
* Support configuration, integration, and version control of software subsystems.
* Collaborate within a dedicated sub-team to meet key program milestones.
Your Skills & Experience
You’ll ideally bring:
* A degree in Software Engineering, Control Systems, Electronics, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent experience.
* Minimum 3 years of experience developing embedded systems using Matlab/Simulink/Stateflow.
* Experience with engine, vehicle, or machine control systems.
* Understanding of real-time control systems development, software version control (e.g., GIT), and testing methodologies.
* Strong documentation skills and attention to detail.
Desirable Skills
* Experience in construction equipment, automotive, or engine control environments.
* Familiarity with CAN protocols, diagnostics, and calibration tools such as CANape, CANalyser, CANoe.
* Exposure to dSpace HIL testing and agile software development methodologies.
* Experience managing calibration data (e.g., using System Architect or similar).Why Join?
* Work on cutting-edge embedded systems that drive real-world performance improvements.
* Be part of a collaborative team solving meaningful technical challenges.
* Gain exposure to multiple engineering disciplines and state-of-the-art development tools.
* Flexible location options with an exciting mix of technical depth and applied engineering.
