Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Firmware Engineer - **Company:** Flusso Ltd - **Location:** Cambridge, UK (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** £54,541.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Keil, Microsoft Windows, Automation of Tests, Unit Testing, C Sharp (Programming Language), Code Review, Software Debugging, Eclipse (Software), Firmware, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, Hardware Design, Medical Software, Integrated Development Environments, Java GUIs, Joint Test Action (IEEE Standards), Python (Programming Language), Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Windows Presentation Foundation, Regression Testing, Release Management, Software Engineering, Digital Access Carrier System, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, Git, Software Version Control - **Published:** September 8, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5875609713 ## About the Role Qualification, knowledge, skills and experience A bachelor's degree in an engineering or science subject is a prerequisite. Essential knowledge, skills and experience: * Development of real-time firmware - in C - for ARM-based microcontrollers or ASICs, typically using ADCs, DACs and interfaces such as I2C, SPI and CAN. * One or more of the main microcontroller families such as STM32 and EFM32 * Use of source code management systems (we use git) * Use of tools such as Keil, IAR, STM32CubeMX and Eclipse/gnu. * Debugging using JTAG interface adapters and test equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analysers * Automated testing of firmware builds for multiple targets, covering new product solutions, new features, performance enhancements and regression testing. * Regression testing updates to existing sensing solutions on multiple targets * Programming in Python * Working to software lifecycle quality processes in an ISO9001 framework Not essential, but would be an strong advantage: * Development of firmware for functional-safety applications * Development of firmware specifically for sensing solutions or applications * Development of firmware for automotive or medical applications * Experience with continuous integration (CI) systems * Development of Windows 11 GUI applications in C# or Python (e.g. PyQT) Profile * Motivated by timely delivery to high quality standards. * Detail conscious, rigorous and meticulous. * Comfortable working in a fast-paced development environment. * Pro-active, positive and enthusiastic by nature. * Good at multi-tasking and responsive to changing needs of projects. * Timely and accurate documentation and communication skills ## Description The Senior Firmware Engineer is an individual technical contributor role, the primary purpose of which is to increase our skills and capacity to * Develop firmware for application solutions that incorporate Flusso sensors, typically on ARM-based microcontrollers or ASIC cores * Support the development of new sensing algorithms * Port firmware to new processor variants or families. Our products are being integrated into medical devices, so our firmware is developed to the following standards: IEC 62304, ISO 14971 and BS EN 60601-1. Experience with development of Windows GUI applications for product evaluation kits would be an advantage in the role but is not essential. Responsibilities: All software and firmware development is carried out in accordance with the Flusso quality management system (QMS) and specifically the Software Development and Release Management Process. General software and firmware development * Collaboration with colleagues in Test and Applications Engineering, Hardware Design and Data Science to define cost-effective sensing Solution Architectures for target applications. * Requirements capture/analysis, specification, design, implementation (with rigorous source code management), design reviews, code reviews, unit-testing and debug. * Creation of internal releases for the Test Engineering team and investigation and resolution of issues uncovered during in-house testing * Documentation for both internal and external use * Contribution to continual improvement of our software development processes and quality standards Firmware for sensor product and application solutions Application solutions with Flusso sensor products (semiconductor/MEMS components) require firmware that runs on a standard microcontroller (MCU) or a processor core in an ASIC. Sensing solution firmware development responsibilities include * Design and development of code that implements functionality and interfaces of the agreed Solution Architecture. * Participate in safety DFMEA and HAZOP processes * Optimisation of code and creation of builds for sensor component and application circuit variants. * Porting firmware to new target processors and/or application designs Evaluation kit USB interface adapter firmware We provide evaluation kits for prospective customers of Flusso products, typically: * A sensor electronics module with the sensor, application circuit and firmware * A flow or gas fixture that the sensor module is attached to * A USB to I2C or CAN interface adapter for connecting to a host PC, with firmware running on a microcontroller that supports those interfaces * A Windows 10 GUI application that gives the user an easy way to evaluate the Flusso product. Our current generation is written in C# using WPF. The Senior Firmware Engineer will contribute to development of firmware for interface adapters and could work on PC-based GUIs too (depending on experience). Design-in support * When required, support Systems and Applications Engineers helping customers with firmware integration * Assimilate feedback from customer engagement for improvement of software and firmware ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know)
