Job description

Are you passionate about building software that powers real-world machines and complex industrial systems? Our Client is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join a talented engineering team developing advanced control system products used in modern manufacturing and automation environments.

This is a great opportunity to work on cutting-edge embedded systems, collaborate with engineers across global teams, and help shape the software behind next-generation industrial automation solutions.

What You’ll Be Working On

As part of a collaborative Agile team, you’ll design and develop real-time embedded software that drives sophisticated automation platforms.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Designing and developing embedded software that communicates with system components through APIs, services, and industrial protocols
• Working across the full software development lifecycle — requirements, design, development, testing, release, and ongoing improvements
• Building and maintaining software for complex control system products
• Participating in design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions with engineering peers
• Performing unit and functional testing to ensure reliability and performance
• Collaborating with global teams to solve technical challenges and deliver high-quality solutions
• Mentoring junior engineers and sharing best practices across the team

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Strong experience with embedded software development
• Solid programming experience in C
• Experience working within Agile development environments

Preferred Experience

• Python or other scripting languages
• Experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
• Familiarity with ARM and x86 architectures
• Experience with embedded debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, in-circuit emulators, and debuggers
• Experience with software testing, requirements analysis, and automation frameworks
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols, particularly Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
• Experience with development tools such as Git and Jenkins

What Makes This Role Exciting

• Work on real-world automation systems used across global industries
• Collaborate with highly skilled engineers across multiple locations
• Contribute to innovative technology powering modern manufacturing
• Be part of a team that values knowledge sharing, innovation, and continuous learning

If you enjoy solving complex engineering problems and building software that directly impacts industrial technology, we’d love to connect.
