Job description

Design and implement C/C++ software for embedded devices (bare-metal and RTOS) used in industrial control systems
Develop real-time control algorithms (e.g., PID, state-based control) for sensors, actuators, and power systems
Produce work break down structures and define work packages for execution in JIRA tasks and integration into high level plans
Integrate with industrial control equipment and software, including PLCs, HMIs and SCADA systems
Implement and validate industrial communication protocols: Modbus (RTU/TCP), CAN/CANopen/J1939, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, RS-232/RS-485
Apply functional safety practices in line with IEC 61508/IEC 62061, including SIL determination, Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), HARA/FTA/FMEA, and verification evidence
Contribute to software quality by the use of coding standards (e.g., MISRA C/C++) and static analysis tools, performing code reviews and developing unit/integration tests
Create test plans and perform functional product verification and validation activities
Author and maintain engineering documentation: architecture, design descriptions, interface control documents, xhkmmrq test plans, and safety lifecycle artefacts
Collaborate closely with electronics, test & approvals, cybersecurity and product management to deliver cohesive solutions
Support system integration, commissioning and troubleshooting at parent company and customer sites (UK and international travel required)
Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, toolchains, CI/CD and development workflows (e.g., Git, Jira, code review)
Mentor less-experienced engineers; share knowledge through design reviews, brown-bags and documentation
Participate in sustaining activities for existing products, including defect resolution and targeted feature enhancements
