Junior Software Engineer (North Lanarkshire)

Junior Embedded Firmware/Software Engineer

Hybrid role with 2 days working from home

Salary from £35-45,000 depending on experience

We\’re building a brand-new embedded team for our global manufacturing client in Central Scotland and we\’re looking for a Junior Embedded Firmware/Software Engineer to help shape the future of their new product line. You\’ll have the opportunity to see it all come to life on-site – from design and development through to testing and full-scale manufacturing. Their on-site testing lab and production lines mean you\’ll see your firmware power a real, physical product from concept to final build.

If you’ve got at least a year’s experience working in manufacturing with embedded firmware or systems in a hands-on role, and you’re keen to learn from strong senior engineers while working on real products, this could be a great fit.

What you’ll be doing:

• Writing and debugging C code for embedded systems
• Testing and validating firmware on real hardware
• Supporting hardware bring-up and troubleshooting
• Working with electronics engineers, testers, and software developers
• Contributing to Agile product development projects

What we’re looking for:

• Degree in Embedded Systems, Electronics, or similar
• 1 year or more of industry experience in embedded systems or firmware
• Manufacturing experience essential
• Comfortable using lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters etc.)
• Experience with version control (Git or similar)

Nice to have:

• Python for testing or automation
• Basic understanding of WiFi, BLE, or other comms protocols
• Exposure to RTOS or Linux-based systems

This is not a graduate role. We’re looking for someone with real-world experience who wants to build a long-term career in embedded systems.
