 * Proven experience with hardware interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet, and GPIO.
 * Confident in hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and serial tools.
 * Proficient with Git, Bitbucket, and JIRA for source control and issue tracking.
 * Comfortable working with existing codebases, refactoring legacy code, and adhering to coding standards.
 * A clear and proactive communicator who collaborates well across teams and disciplines.
 * The ability to work independently, while collaborating effectively in cross-functional teams.

The following would be advantageous:

 * Experience with lwIP or other TCP/IP stacks.
 * Exposure to industrial protocols (Modbus, MQTT, CAN, etc.).
 * Experience working with TI microcontrollers (C2000, Cortex-M) or similar SoCs.

## Description

We have an opportunity for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join our team in Edinburgh.

As part of the Microelectronics & Embedded Systems Team, this role will oversee real-time control and networking firmware for our next-generation hardware platforms.

 * Design, implement, and test embedded C code for real-time applications running on microcontrollers and DSPs.
 * Interface directly with hardware components (e.g., ADCs, DACs, sensors, communication interfaces).
 * Participate in peer reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback with an open mind.
 * Contribute to system-level debugging and bring-up, including low-level hardware-software integration and fault analysis.
 * Document and share knowledge through well-structured code comments, design notes, and Confluence pages.
