Ready to work on cutting-edge robotics hardware that's solving real-world problems?
Looking for a focused 6-month project where you can make an immediate impact?
Want to hit the ground running with an experienced robotics team in London?
The Opportunity
I'm partnering with a world-leading robotics company based in North London to find an experienced Embedded Firmware Engineer for an exciting 6-month project. You'll be joining a small, highly skilled engineering team working on advanced robotic systems for a major international client.
This is a hands-on role where you'll work with hardware daily, collaborate directly with senior engineers, and have the autonomy to drive solutions forward.
What You'll Be Doing
* Designing and developing firmware for embedded systems within robotic platforms
* Working closely with electronics and mechanical engineers to integrate firmware with hardware
* Debugging and optimising code for motor control, sensors, and communication interfaces
* Contributing to a high-profile project with an important international partner
* Documenting your work clearly for handover and future development
What You'll Bring
* Strong C and C++ programming skills in embedded environments
* Experience with microcontroller architectures and hardware-software integration
* Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
* Python scripting ability for testing and automation
* Several years of commercial embedded/firmware experience – you're confident working independently
* The ability to be in the London office daily to work with the hardware
Nice to have: RTOS experience, robotics background, motor control systems
What's In It For You
* Work on genuinely innovative robotics technology
* Collaborate with a talented, international team of engineers
* Hands-on access to cutting-edge hardware every day
* Competitive day rate via PAYE, potential for extension
