We’re looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our clients growing engineering team. If you have solid experience developing software for real-time systems and a good understanding of hardware and wireless communications, this could be a great fit.

You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering embedded software that powers our next-generation products—working closely with hardware engineers and product teams to bring innovative solutions to life.

What You’ll Be Doing:

1. Designing and implementing embedded software for ARM-based platforms, ideally using Zephyr or another RTOS.
2. Developing and optimising wireless communication features (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee).
3. Writing efficient, reliable C code for embedded systems, following best practices (MISRA knowledge is a plus).
4. Supporting application development on Linux-based systems for simulation and testing.
5. Working with cross-functional teams to define system architecture and software requirements.
6. Maintaining clear documentation and contributing to software quality through reviews and testing.

What We’re Looking For:

1. Strong experience in embedded C programming with RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or similar).
2. A good understanding of hardware and how software interacts with it.
3. Exposure to web-based tech like JavaScript and HTML is useful, especially for UI or monitoring interfaces.
4. Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git) and embedded development environments.
5. An understanding of security in embedded systems (e.g., encrypted communications, secure boot).
6. Proactive problem-solver who can work independently and as part of a team.

Qualifications:

1. Degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
2. 3+ years of professional experience in embedded systems development.
3. Previous work on consumer products, IoT devices, or other real-world embedded applications is an advantage.

What You’ll Get:

1. Competitive salary and full benefits package.
2. Flexible hybrid working and a positive work-life balance.
3. A chance to work on interesting projects with real-world impact.
4. Supportive team culture with opportunities to grow your skills and career.
