Embedded Software Engineer

I’m currently working with an innovative technology company based in Crawley who are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join their growing engineering team on a hybrid basis!

The company specialises in developing advanced electronic and embedded solutions for industries including automotive, industrial automation, and smart technologies. They have a strong pipeline of projects and are continuing to invest heavily in their engineering capability as they scale.

You’ll be joining a close-knit, multidisciplinary team of engineers and will play a key role in developing embedded software for a range of products. The position is hands-on, with a strong focus on C/C++ development, working closely with hardware teams to design, build, and optimise embedded systems.

The role will involve working across the full product lifecycle, from early-stage development and prototyping through to testing and production. You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to technical decisions and influence product direction as the company continues to grow.
