Graduate Software Engineer (FT)

Mage Control Systems Ltd is an SME based in East Kilbride. Our engineers are specialists in providing bespoke, high reliability, embedded control systems designed to operate in the harshest of environments. The company’s customised designs demonstrate our unique experience and knowledge in using predictive and adaptive control to achieve high power density functionality, coupled with smart sensing technology.

Our customers’ projects have span across a range of industry sectors: industrial testing, renewable energy and aerospace amongst many others.

Your role will be dynamic and wide-ranging but will revolve around a core of embedded software design: for example, communication links and HMI development. You will also carry out functional tests on prototype units, documenting your results as you go. You will be a valued member of the electronics team and will work with other electronics engineers, as well as with our team of firmware and mechanical engineers.

You’ll be working on ground breaking new designs and concepts in a fast-paced environment. This means it’s a relatively rare thing to have identical workdays at Mage. You’ll get to take the project from initial kick-off, through concept and design, to functional test and to final customer handover at project completion.

Main responsibilities, tasks, and activities

• Carry out new project development, creating software/firmware either individually or alongside other software engineers.
• Carry out firmware development on the upgrading of legacy products.
• Work alongside electronics engineers on projects to develop systems as a whole and ensure all (not only software requirements) are met.
• Carry out detailed firmware design to include following best practices and ensuring relevant processes are carried out (code coverage checks, static analysis, etc.).
• Develop software to design requirements e. function, cost, and noting implications for and around obsolescence.
• Version control all software/firmware development using GIT.
• Ensure that all other work and information are kept up to date and recorded as per company quality assurance requirements and applicable international standards.
• Prepare and present designs to other members of the design team and project stakeholders at design reviews or project meetings.
