## About the Role

You'll be free of project leadership or team management responsibilities. As a mid-level engineer, you'll be given project work that will technically challenge you, help develop your skills and gain further industry experience. You'll already be competent with general embedded software engineering, and now gain nuanced experience in applied instrumentation and hardware projects., * Degree in computer science, electronics, physics or similar followed by industry experience as an embedded software engineer (embedded Linux, C / C++, Python).

 * Demonstrable project experience with wireless technologies including low-power Bluetooth, NFC and WiFi.
 * Experience with RTOS and bare-metal programming.
 * Additional experience with C++ or C# for desktop applications would be desirable.

Projects can be for scientific or medical applications, so development processes can be regulated. Experience working within a regulated environment would be useful but good documentation skills would be the minimum requirement. Further, whilst the onus is on the technical work, on occasion, technical presentations and discussions with internal and external stakeholders would be undertaken.

The role would suit someone who enjoys engineering and programming, working in a team environment, and being onsite to work closely with hardware (some home working is possible when projects allow (up to 2 days per week). Due to the rural location of their offices, interested applicants should either be living close by or be able to drive (public transport is limited).
