## About the Role

* A good university education in computing, electronics, physics or another technical subject from a ranking institution, backed by good A-level grades.
 * C++, C or assembly language programming skills as exercised commercially, ideally in an embedded context, but others considered
 * Python (or C#, Java etc.) experience either as a primarily language or for test suites - certainly you will know multiple programming languages well
 * Sufficient embedded software, electronics, or physics awareness

Experience with Embedded Linux is a major plus, as is "bare metal" and RTOS coding. Additional experience is valued with Yocto / BitBake, VHDL / Verilog for FPGA, control algorithms, SoCs, ARM Cortex STM32, and any work to quality and compliance standards. The role is open to UK residents. Full existing work permission is required, without time limit or visa sponsorship.
