Embedded Software Engineer

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be involved throughout the software development lifecycle, working closely with hardware and systems engineers to develop and integrate embedded software across a range of platforms.

Your responsibilities will include:

+Designing, developing and maintaining embedded software and firmware using C and C++.

+Developing low-level software for microcontrollers, processors and embedded hardware platforms.

+Working across bare-metal and real-time operating system (RTOS) environments.

+Developing and integrating hardware interfaces, peripheral drivers and communication protocols.

+Debugging and resolving software and hardware integration issues.

+Writing and executing unit tests, integration tests and software verification activities.

+Applying structured coding standards and software development best practices.

+Participating in technical design reviews, code reviews and collaborative engineering activities.

We’re looking for an Embedded Software Engineer with strong C programming fundamentals and a genuine interest in low-level software development and hardware integration.

You’ll ideally have:

+A degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related STEM discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

+Strong experience developing software using embedded C, with C++ also beneficial.

+Experience developing firmware for microcontrollers or embedded processor platforms.

+Knowledge of bare-metal programming and/or RTOS environments.

+Experience debugging, testing and integrating embedded software with hardware.

Security Requirements

Due to the sensitive nature of the projects, candidates must meet the relevant nationality and security clearance requirements, including the ability to obtain and maintain the required level of UK security clearance.
