Job Description:

Senior Embedded Software Engineer, £60–66k + benefits, Poole (Hybrid working) + 10% bonus

Are you a C / C++ software engineer with senior development experience seeking the next step in your career?

Would you like to work at a company known for excellent career progression and market leadership?

This company has a strong reputation and a history of professional development. The role is open due to internal promotion. You should be an experienced developer with strong skills in designing, implementing, maintaining, and testing embedded software, primarily using C / C++.

You will lead engineering work packages, managing scope, budget, and timelines, and provide systems and development engineering across all project phases—from design to commissioning. Responsibilities include overseeing subcontractors, supporting bids with engineering input, engaging with customers and suppliers, and contributing to trials and demonstrations. You will estimate costs, support project planning, and ensure delivery meets performance, quality, and time objectives.

The role involves working with technologies like GSM (mobile communications), QNX, Git/GitLab, Docker, Yocto/bitbake, and the Rational SDL Suite. Testing and analysis tools include Boost Test, QtTest, gcov, and CppCheck, all within a modern VS Code environment.

This is a flexible hybrid role, with an office in Poole and typically 2 days per week on-site. The lab environments for new products may require flexibility for testing.

The benefits package includes a 10% bonus, subsidized healthcare, 26 days holiday plus buy/sell holiday scheme, and an enhanced pension scheme.
