Are you an experienced Embedded Engineer who enjoys working across both firmware and hardware, rather than being limited to one side of product development? We're working with an established technology business that's expanding its R&D team following continued growth and investment into a number of new product development projects. They're looking for a Senior Embedded Electronics Engineer to take a key role across the full product lifecycle – from initial concept and architecture through to development, board bring-up, testing and production.
What you'll be working on:
- Developing real-time embedded firmware in C/C++
- Working with ARM Cortex-M, STM32, ESP32, NXP and similar MCUs
- Configuring and optimising RTOS / FreeRTOS environments
- Developing peripheral drivers – SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet
- Board bring-up, bootloader development and hardware debugging
- Analogue & digital electronics, schematics and PCB development
- Embedded security, reliability and system-level debugging
- Leading architecture decisions and mentoring other engineers
We're particularly interested in engineers with:
- Strong commercial Embedded C/C++ experience
- Excellent microcontroller / MCU knowledge
- RTOS and real-time embedded development experience
- Genuine hands-on electronics and hardware capability
- Experience reading schematics and debugging at board level
- A background taking embedded products from concept through to production
- Experience with Altium, embedded cybersecurity, encryption, automated testing or CI/CD would be a strong advantage.
What's on offer?
- Hybrid working
- Competitive salary + bonus
- 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
- Company pension
- Training & professional development
- Opportunity to influence engineering and product direction
- Genuine technical ownership and autonomy
This isn't a purely firmware-focused position – it's particularly suited to an engineer who enjoys getting close to the electronics, hardware and complete embedded product.
