Salary: £55,000 - 55,000 per year

Requirements:

• We are looking for a candidate with a Degree (BSc/MSc) in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical/Electronic Engineering. You should have a minimum of 6 years' experience developing embedded C software in an engineering or manufacturing environment. A strong understanding of source control systems (e.g. Git) and proficiency in modern programming architectures and hardware interfacing is essential. We value demonstrated ability to develop bare-metal firmware for embedded systems and experience in building portable, layered software architectures. Familiarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, I2S, UART, USB, CAN, and Ethernet is critical. You should also possess competence in developing and running automated testing platforms and unit tests, experience with project tracking tools such as Jira, and a solid understanding of software development workflows including IDEs/toolchains, version control, testing, and release management. Strong skills in the Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) along with excellent organizational and analytical skills are a must.

Responsibilities:

• In this role, I will lead the design, development, and testing of embedded software and firmware for our electronic products.
