Mid-level Embedded Software Engineer

Ecm Selection; Cambridge; Hybrid; GBP 40,000 - 70,000; Full time

Job description

This out-of-town, Cambs company works on a variety of projects ranging from hardware prototyping to high-value, low volume instruments. They are hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to join them.

You’ll be free of project leadership or team management responsibilities. As a mid-level engineer, you’ll be given project work that will technically challenge you, help develop your skills, and gain further industry experience. You’ll already be competent with general embedded software engineering and will now gain nuanced experience in applied instrumentation and hardware projects.

Requirements

• Degree in computer science, electronics, physics or similar followed by industry experience as an embedded software engineer (embedded Linux, C / C++, Python).
• Demonstrable project experience with wireless technologies including low-power Bluetooth, NFC, and WiFi.
• Experience with RTOS and bare-metal programming.
• Additional experience with C++ or C# for desktop applications would be desirable.

Projects can be for scientific or medical applications, so development processes can be regulated. Experience working within a regulated environment would be useful, but good documentation skills would be the minimum requirement. Further, whilst the onus is on the technical work, on occasion, technical presentations and discussions with internal and external stakeholders would be undertaken.

The role would suit someone who enjoys engineering and programming, working in a team environment, and being onsite to work closely with hardware (some home working is possible when projects allow, up to 2 days per week). Due to the rural location of their offices, interested applicants should either be living close by or be able to drive (public transport is limited).

Company sponsorship is not available, and candidates on time-limited visas would not be considered.

The company looks to support careers, provide technical work that is challenging and stimulating, and offer a competitive compensation package including a good range of benefits.
