Job description

Domo Tactical Communications operates in fast growing markets offering innovative and robust wireless security products, leading-edge IP centric network devices, and C4I application software solutions, along with high performance wireless broadcast systems for all industries.

Our passion for innovation keeps us one step ahead in the rapidly changing and increasingly challenging environments within which we perform, whether on the battlefield, in the streets of our cities, or at the world's largest sporting events.

High performance IP Video, communications, and broadcast systems enable our customers to securely monitor, control, communicate, and share information with confidence in complex environments and in the most demanding situations.

What will you be doing?

Reporting to the Embedded Development Manager, the Senior Embedded Engineer will contribute to the design and development of embedded systems for world-class wireless and Software Defined Radio (SDR) products. This role involves end-to-end embedded software development, including the creation of new algorithms and waveforms, as well as the enhancement of existing SDR designs.

The engineer will work across a diverse portfolio of technically advanced projects, with responsibilities spanning architectural design, embedded programming, and system integration. Collaboration with cross‑functional teams will be essential throughout the product lifecycle—from concept and design to production support and customer validation.

In addition to core engineering duties, the role may include limited support for sales and customer deployment activities, particularly during new product introductions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically proficient engineer who enjoys solving complex challenges and making a tangible impact in a product‑driven environment.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Developing embedded software in C / C++, with an emphasis on object‑oriented, maintainable, and efficient code.
• Designing system and software architecture, capturing requirements, and defining component interfaces.
• Conducting research into new technologies, contributing to the development of demonstrators and long‑term product strategy.
• Providing technical input into sales activities such as demonstrations, tenders, and quotations.
• Supporting customers during new product rollout and feature validation.
• Assisting production teams with design verification testing (DVT) and automated test equipment (ATE) implementation.

About You:

A successful candidate will demonstrate strong technical expertise in embedded systems and a collaborative approach to engineering.

Essential experience and competencies include:

• Proficiency in C / C++ programming for embedded platforms.
• Experience with Linux, device drivers, and software design / architecture patterns.
• Familiarity with UML, system design methodologies, and structured documentation.
• Basic experience using frequency and time domain test equipment.
• Strong communication skills, including technical documentation, requirements analysis, and presentations.

Additional desirable skills:

• Understanding of hardware design, including schematic capture and PCB layout tools.
• Experience with firmware design in VHDL or Verilog.
• Familiarity with simulation tools such as Modelsim or Questa.
• Working knowledge of JIRA (highly desirable) and Microsoft Project.

A good quality Degree in Electronics or Engineering is essential. Prior experience managing or leading small technical teams on moderate‑sized projects will be viewed favorably.

UK Security Clearance (SC) may be required for involvement in specific projects.

Benefits and Culture

• 25 days annual leave plus Bank holidays
• A generous pension plan
• Employee Assistance Program
• Income protection
• Flexible core working hours
• Onsite subsidised cafe
