Software Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead Embedded Software Engineer to take technical ownership of embedded software architecture and development within a high-performance engineering environment. The role involves designing real-time embedded systems for complex electro-mechanical products used globally in industrial and advanced manufacturing applications.You will act as the technical authority for embedded software, mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, and ensuring robust, high-quality firmware delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture

Own and define the embedded software architecture across multiple product lines.Lead technical decision-making, balancing hardware, firmware, and system constraints.Drive best practices in embedded development: architecture design, coding standards, documentation, testing.Collaborate closely with hardware, electronics, controls, and systems teams.

Embedded Development

Hands-on design and development of firmware in C/C++ for ARM-based MCUs (e.g., STM32).Design and implementation of real-time systems using RTOS or bare-metal environments.Develop robust firmware for sensors, motor control, communication buses, timing, and control loops.Implement and debug communication protocols (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, Modbus, EtherCAT, etc.).

Quality, Testing & Compliance

Ensure software meets safety, reliability, and performance requirements.Champion unit testing, integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop verification.Familiarity with MISRA or similar embedded best-practice frameworks is beneficial.

Team Contribution

Mentor and guide senior and mid-level engineers.Lead code reviews and enforce high engineering standards.Contribute to long-term technology roadmaps and product evolution., A leading IT consulting firm in the UK is seeking a JAVA Engineer with experience in Vert.x and Spring Framework.
