The Role
Our client has created a new Junior Embedded Engineer position in their growing engineering team in the Aberdeen area. They design and develop industry-leading products used around the world.
They design a range of electronic instrumentation and measurement devices and are starting work on their next generation of products. You'll join a small, supportive team, mainly developing embedded firmware in C for the microcontrollers at the heart of these products. You'll get hands-on experience across the full design life cycle, from writing and debugging firmware to bringing up new hardware and testing it on the bench, learning alongside experienced engineers.
