## About the Role

* Hands-on experience writing software for microcontrollers and embedded systems
 * Solid working knowledge of electronics, both analogue and digital, and how they interface with control software
 * Experience in a mix of C/C++, Python and C#
 * Experience building user interfaces for control systems or machines
 * A methodical approach to testing, documentation and fault finding, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly in writing
 * Willingness to travel around 10% in the UK and overseas, with a full driving licence and a valid passport

## Description

Every system is built to order, so no two control systems are quite the same. You'll have a big say in how our next generation of controls is designed, from choosing the architecture through to firmware that's ready for production. You'll:

 * Take the lead on microcontroller-based control for new products
 * Write PC-based software and GUI/HMI applications that sit on top of the control systems
 * Design the hardware and software interlocks that keep our systems safe to run
 * Work with an electronics engineer on motor and pump control
 * Test new products as they develop, and help Production/Test with fault finding and with factory and site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), including visits to customer sites
 * Use Git, and keep good records so any change to the software can be traced back
 * Work in C/C++, Python and C#, and use PID loops. Knowing MISRA C and IEC 61508 will help
