Job description

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimise firmware and low-level software for resource-constrained devices. You will work close to the hardware - writing and debugging C/C++ on real-time operating systems, bringing up boards, integrating device drivers and peripherals, and validating on target. The role sits with cross-functional hardware, systems, and QA teams to deliver reliable, high-performance embedded solutions., * Design and develop embedded firmware and application software in C and C++.

Build and debug on an RTOS, managing tasks, scheduling, interrupts, and inter-process communication.
Bring up hardware and develop or integrate device drivers for peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, CAN).
Optimise for memory, power, and real-time performance on resource-constrained targets.
Debug at the hardware level using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analysers.
Write scripts and tooling in Python for automation, test, and validation.
Collaborate with hardware and systems teams and participate in code reviews.

Requirements

Strong proficiency in C and C++ for embedded development
Hands-on experience with a real-time operating system (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or Zephyr
Python for automation, scripting, test, and tooling
Board bring-up, device drivers, and peripheral integration (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, CAN)
Microcontroller and microprocessor architectures (ARM Cortex-M/A or similar)
Hardware debugging with JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analysers
Understanding of memory management, interrupts, and low-level performance optimisation
Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI for embedded builds
Experience developing to reliability, safety, or quality standards is a plus
