Job description

Senior Embedded Software Engineer, £54 - 66k + benefits, Poole (Hybrid working) + 10% bonus

Do you want to continue your career at somewhere that offers excellent career progression whilst working for a market leader?

Do you have experience working on IBM SDL, C / C++ and work to a senior development level and looking for the next step in your career?

This company has a great reputation and a history of people being professionally developed and enhancing careers. The role is a vacancy due to an internal promotion! You will need to be an experienced developer, with strong experience designing, implementing, maintaining & testing embedded software.

You will lead engineering work packages, manage scope, budget, and timelines, while also providing systems and development engineering across all project phases—from design to commissioning. Responsibilities include:

1. Technical oversight of subcontractors
2. Supporting bids with engineering input
3. Engaging with customers and suppliers
4. Contributing to trials and demonstrations
5. Estimating costs and supporting project planning
6. Ensuring delivery meets performance, quality, and time objectives

There is a whole suite of other technologies including GSM (mobile communications) and experience on SDL is mandatory; QNX would be helpful but not mandatory. Other technologies used are C/C++ development with gcc and gdb, using Git/GitLab for version control, with Docker, Yocto/bitbake, and the Rational SDL Suite. Testing and analysis with Boost Test, QtTest, gcov, and CppCheck, all within a modern VS Code environment.

This is a flexible hybrid working setup, with an office in Poole and typically 2 days per week on site. There are lab environments for new products, so you may be required to be flexible to test new software with the team.

There is a great benefits package including a 10% bonus, subsidised healthcare, 26 days holiday and a buy/sell holiday scheme, and an enhanced pension scheme.
