Embedded Tools Software Engineer (27348)

Seeking a skilled developer for software tools and infrastructure

Embedded systems necessitate a variety of tools and infrastructure covering everything from clustered firmware update rollout, Yocto / BitBake Linux imaging to Python test suites and much more besides. This role offers breadth and variety of activities.

The position would suit a skilled developer in C++, C or assembler as well as languages such as Python (or potentially C#, Java, et al), with a grounding in embedded or basic appreciation of electronics. You’ll be someone who can approach an existing codebase, appreciate its fine points and contribute high quality enhancements and refactors.

You’d have the chance to join colleagues in software and electronics at a robust company backed by European partners, with a strong customer base, and who are succeeding where some other companies have found these times challenging.

Benefits include strong bonus and pension schemes, private medical and dental cover. The team decide the balance of home and office working depending on workload, currently favouring more time in the office together.

The likely profile includes:

• A good university education in computing, electronics, physics or another technical subject from a ranking institution, backed by good A-level grades.
• C++, C or assembly language programming skills as exercised commercially, ideally in an embedded context, but others considered
• Python (or C#, Java etc.) experience either as a primarily language or for test suites – certainly you will know multiple programming languages well
• Sufficient embedded software, electronics, or physics awareness

Experience with Embedded Linux is a major plus, as is “bare metal” and RTOS coding. Additional experience is valued with Yocto / BitBake, VHDL / Verilog for FPGA, control algorithms, SoCs, ARM Cortex STM32, and any work to quality and compliance standards. The role is open to UK residents. Full existing work permission is required, without time limit or visa sponsorship.

ECM can only put forward select candidates, but we do review every CV and try to respond to everyone. Please note: of course, ECM always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
