# Embedded Software Engineer

- **Company:** ECM Selection Limited
- **Location:** Cambridge, UK (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** £80,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Code Review, Linux, Embedded Software, Firmware, System Testing
- **Published:** August 24, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.ecmselection.co.uk/register/25774

## About the Role

You'll be a practical, hands-on embedded software engineer looking for a full time role in Cambridge. Your several years' commercial experience will include:

 * Linux and C++ embedded software development
 * A certain "agility", as development is phased and regular retrospectives are conducted
 * A senior engineer's responsibilities, for instance independent projects, code reviews, mentoring peers

Whilst remote working may be in place initially, you will later work in the office in Cambridge. Full UK work permission is required, without time limit, restriction or sponsorship. Your CV will show your good relevant technical degree (or exemplary experience).

There is a significant base of automated unit and system tests in place. Knowledge of embedded graphics hardware / firmware is also beneficial but not required.
