## Description

This Embedded Software Engineer role is technically rewarding and highly fulfilling, with a great deal going on at any given time. It involves deep, end-to-end engineering work, (the team cover everything from the bootloader upward), and offers the opportunity to contribute to the architecture of new, continually evolving products.

The work is varied and intellectually engaging, often starting with a specification and figuring out the best way to implement it, with plenty of feedback from the hardware along the way. There's a real buzz that comes from seeing something tangible work as intended, rather than simply shipping it to end users and hoping they can't break it.

They are a small, dynamic team who believe in autonomy, creativity, and the power of innovation. Their philosophy is simple: they want individuals who can take an idea and see it through from conception to implementation. There's no micromanagement here - just the freedom to explore ideas and bring them to life.

Projects are diverse and challenging, with a heavy focus on networking and protocol implementation. There is plenty of variety, from 6-month general software releases to new product introductions and custom feature requests. Every day brings a fresh challenge and an opportunity to innovate.
