## Description

design, through coding and testing, to field deployment. Because all firmware is built in-house, you'll work closely with the electronics and mechanical teams, shaping design decisions early rather than just coding to a fixed spec. A handful of priorities run through everything: minimising power consumption, designing in safe failure modes so faults degrade gracefully, building on an established suite of tools rather than starting from scratch, and finding genuinely innovative solutions where no off-the-shelf answer exists. You'll be trusted to take real ownership of your projects, with support and mentoring on hand from experienced colleagues rather than close oversight. The scope of the role flexes around the person appointed. A more junior candidate can expect a supported learning curve, while a more experienced engineer could quickly pick up broader responsibility, including input into firmware architecture and mentoring others. To be considered: Strong experience writing embedded
