Job Description:

Role: Embedded Software Engineer

Location: Milton Keynes

We're working with a growing technology business in Milton Keynes that's looking to bring an Embedded Software Engineer on board to support new and existing product development across automotive and industrial applications.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone confident working at a low level (bare-metal/RTOS) but also comfortable interfacing with hardware teams and contributing to system design discussions.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and developing embedded software in C/C++
• Working across bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
• Supporting integration, testing, and debugging on real hardware
• Collaborating closely with hardware, QA, and project teams
• Contributing to technical documentation and product lifecycle activities

What they're looking for:

• Solid experience in embedded software development (5+ years ideal)
• Experience with RTOS or bare-metal environments
• Familiarity with hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.)
• Ability to read schematics and work closely with electronics engineers
• Comfortable with version control and debugging tools

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Exposure to embedded Linux
• Automotive, industrial, or safety-critical experience
• Familiarity with ISO standards (, ISO 26262)

What's on offer:

• Salary up to £65,000 (DOE)
• Hybrid working (2-3 days on-site in Milton Keynes)
• Supportive team environment with a strong engineering culture
• Opportunity to work on real-world, high-impact products

If you're someone who enjoys solving technical problems and wants to be part of a down-to-earth, collaborative engineering team - this could be a great fit.
