Job description

Principal Embedded Software Engineer | £80-85k | Cambridge

An exciting medium-sized consultancy is looking for an experienced software engineer to join their driven & motivated team. You'll report directly to the Head of Engineering and have a significant degree of authority over the architecture of each project.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a software engineer with previous consultancy experience who wants to join a team where they can have a real impact every day and lead a team of multidisciplinary engineers, without the line management side of things.

A lot of their projects tend to be outside of heavy industry regulations and varied, so you have a lot of freedom to be creative & solve a range of problems.

Responsibilities

• Lead the software design and development of embedded and connected systems
• Take a system-wide view: balancing firmware, hardware, connectivity, and cloud considerations
• Work directly with clients, defining not just delivery but also the actual product itself from idea through to production

Requirements

• Strong experience developing embedded software using C/C++ for RTOS-based systems (ideally Zephyr)
• Experience at a senior level in a consultancy environment
• Strong understanding of embedded Linux, but you don't have to be a Linux guru
• Experience with Cloud-based systems (AWS, IoT, embedded security)

If you love developing exciting products and would like to play a leading role in a consultancy, apply.
