## About the Role

* Strong, commercially-applicable experience developing embedded C code for complex systems, be they Linux, RTOS or bare metal.
 * Past experience of relevant technical (not necessarily team) leadership.
 * Good academic background, including a 1st or 2:1 at bachelor's level in a numerate discipline, and strong A-level grades.

Any supporting Python skills will be put to good use, especially in the area of Python / C interfacing.

Additional experience of robotics (control theory, kinematics or IK, 3D geometry), networking (ideally real-time priority, e.g. EtherCAT), electronics, high reliability systems (IEC or ISO standards), ARM Cortex MCUs, static code analysis, safety-critical code (MISRA C et al) or Agile practices would be valued.

## Description

Get involved in prototyping and active product development in an innovative field. This is embedded software development for advanced robotics, robust C firmware for Linux, RTOS and "bare metal" ARM Cortex MCUs.
