Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Location: Scotland

Employment Type: Permanent, Full-Time

Salary: Up to £65,000

We’re working with an independent technology consultancy in the central belt of Scotland that’s looking to expand its engineering team with a Senior Embedded Software Engineer. The company partners with a range of UK and international clients, delivering custom electronic and software solutions across industrial, scientific, energy, and consumer markets.

This position would suit an engineer who enjoys hands‑on embedded development, particularly bare‑metal or RTOS‑based work, and values working in a close‑knit, multidisciplinary team alongside hardware, firmware, and FPGA specialists.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and test embedded firmware for a range of microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, PIC, etc.)
• Develop software for bare‑metal and RTOS environments (e.g., FreeRTOS)
• Support multiple projects throughout the development lifecycle, from prototype to production
• Collaborate closely with hardware and FPGA teams to integrate systems effectively

Skills & Experience

• Strong proficiency in C programming for embedded systems
• Experience with microcontrollers and communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, etc.)
• Exposure to or interest in FPGA‑based systems (knowledge of VHDL/Verilog a plus)

If you’re an embedded engineer who enjoys seeing your designs come to life in real hardware, this is a great opportunity to work on diverse, technically challenging projects within a collaborative, innovation‑driven environment.
