# Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

- **Company:** Neupulse
- **Location:** Basingstoke, UK
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Application Frameworks, ARM Architecture, C++ (Programming Language), Embedded Software, Firmware, FreeRTOS, Modular Design, Software Vulnerability Management, Git Flow
- **Published:** July 10, 2026
- **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=6888fc1bfa8e906a

## About the Role

* 5+ years delivering embedded firmware through the full product lifecycle, with a track record of robust releases and clean documentation
 * Strong experience with FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M in safety-critical settings
 * Real depth in low-power, battery-operated devices that communicate with mobile over BLE
 * 3+ years in a regulated industry - medical device and IEC 62304 ideally
 * The credibility to direct an external development partner today, and the appetite to build and lead an in-house capability tomorrow
 * Fluency in C/C++, embedded architecture, modular design, and disciplined Git-based workflows
 * A security mindset for embedded firmware (a genuine plus)

## Description

Today, our device development is largely handled by an external partner. You'll be our internal technical authority for it - working hand in hand with that partner to keep firmware reliable and compliant now, while building the pathway to bring that capability in-house over time.

It's hands-on, safety-critical work on a device people wear every day: C/C++ on STM32, FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M, low-power and battery-operated, talking to iOS and Android over BLE.

You'll:

 * Own the firmware relationship with our external development partner - direction, reviews, quality, and the verification and release evidence that stands up to regulatory scrutiny
 * Build the pathway to bring firmware capability in-house - deciding what to internalise and when, and growing the team to do it
 * Stay hands-on and set the standard: production-quality firmware, reusable frameworks, coding practices and reviews across current and future products
 * Own security - threat assessment, vulnerability management, and secure device updates
 * Work shoulder to shoulder with hardware, software, quality and regulatory, keeping everything traceable and compliant with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304
