Job description

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW is member of an international R&D development team located in Cambridge, UK. The R&D team is developing highly sophisticated sensing devices to optimize production processes and for environmental emission monitoring to meet legal requirements.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW acts in a team of scientists and engineers for hardware and embedded SW development, starting from circuit ideation, schematics, layout and prototype production through to Embedded SW programming, testing and handover to production.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW is responsible for Embedded Software Design. A medium-level of understanding of HW design enables them to discuss, design and implement HW close solutions. As part of a team, they will design HW and SW concepts for approval-relevant requirements (SIL, QAL1), implementing and testing metrological and functional algorithms, taking functional safety (SIL) and certified emission monitoring (QAL, AMS) into account.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW also participates (depending on qualification) in the development/testing of software and hardware for PC/tablet/smartphone systems.

They document their work in the form of coding documentation, test documentation and functional documentation, which can be used as a basis for the creation of manuals and the approval of the devices.
