Last year we started developing our Application code using model based design using the Matlab toolchain, allowing us to spend less time on coding and more time thinking about good quality architecture and design and let the tools (when driven correctly) do the coding! Obviously, there's always plenty of code to be written and we continue to do low and middle level software the traditional way. You: You will be a highly motivated and self-managing Embedded Software Engineer with preferably the experience of working in a customer facing, commercial environment. You will have a highly developed, structured approach to design and the ability to compose a design rationale, along with good technical writing skills and a willingness to work within our collaboratively developed software design ethics and style. The role: You will be working within the Software Development Team which is part a multi-disciplined engineering team, consisting of Mechanical, Electronic and Firmware Engineers (approx. 60 in total). New business is primarily focused in the high performance and luxury car markets; however Pektron designs and manufactures a wide range of products for Gas, Automotive, Safety and Consumer industries. You will have the opportunity to write software for interesting and diverse projects as well as specify tools, requirements and drive the software discipline within the company, and to be involved in every aspect of the product life cycle from quotation, concept, design, and validation through to manufacture. Recent projects include: Design and manufacture of advanced body control systems including passive keys and active suspension systems for high performance vehicles. Developing advanced instrument clusters, passive entry systems, body and chassis control systems for major OEM clients in the automotive, agricultural and construction sectors. Experience and skills required: Exceptional Fault Diagnosis and Analysis Embedded Programing in C Version Control Static Analysis / Code Metrics Microprocessors 8, 16 & 32 bit Low Level Drivers for External Hardware / CPU Peripherals or Embedded Application Development Software verification and validation Communication - Spoken/Written/Technical English must be of a minimum of IELTS 7 or SELT B1 Additional points that would be an advantage Knowledge of Real Time Control Experience of Software Architecture and Detailed Design Ability to travel freely (some customers are based in US / EU) Familiarity of working within MISRA C rules Working experience of AUTOSAR architecture Programing: Windows/Linux, Visual Basic, C++, high level structured languages Simple Electronic Design: Analogue / Digital Control of Graphic Displays Communications Protocols: Serial, CAN, LIN, Diagnostic, Ethernet Use Vector Vehicle Networking Tools such as CANoe/CANalyser Design / Modelling experience (For example: UML, Matlab, Simulink ## Description Pektron Group Ltd is searching for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer who will be responsible for writing software for a range of bespoke products. Our team: Our Engineering attitude is confident and "can do" and with solid research and a lot of intuition we nearly always succeed. Nearly all of our code is written in C, mainly because it's the most widely available language for the variety of 8, 16, 32 bit micros we use on our boards and we're good at it! We pride ourselves on efficient reliable software and we mix our hardware and software teams together so that we can get the most out of our micros and we get it right first time. All of our code is collaboratively developed with our peers, so you get to learn from the people that know that technology best. We are geeks and proud! We love engineering and our lunchtime conversations are made up of 3D printing, power generation, hyper cars (we sometimes get to play with these), electric vehicles (we've worked on some of these too) and ## Related Videos - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [ChatGPT and Java: A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/536-chatgpt-and-java-a-match-made-in-heaven-or-hell) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
