Job description

We're recruiting a Senior Embedded Software Engineer for a specialist technology company developing advanced sensing and measurement systems.

This is a senior, hands-on role with significant technical ownership. You'll work on SoC-FPGA platforms, developing the embedded software that sits between ARM processors, FPGA programmable logic and complex measurement systems.

The Role:

• Embedded Linux development in C/C++
• ARM / SoC development
• Processor-to-FPGA integration
• AXI, DMA, interrupts and memory-mapped I/O
• Low-level interfaces and drivers
• High-speed data acquisition and processing
• Porting MATLAB/Python algorithms into embedded C/C++
• Signal processing and hardware/software co-design

What We're Looking For:

Strong commercial experience with:

• Embedded Linux, ideally PetaLinux or Yocto
• C/C++
• ARM-based embedded systems
• Low-level hardware/software integration
• FPGA-connected systems

Experience with Zynq UltraScale+, signal processing, device drivers, Edge AI or industrial/test-and-measurement systems would be particularly valuable
