Location: On-site (5 days per week) in Southampton
We're working with an innovative engineering business developing cutting-edge hardware and software products that are redefining how intelligent systems interact with the real world.
This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative R&D environment where engineers are given genuine ownership, work on technically challenging problems, and contribute directly to products making a measurable real-world impact.
The Opportunity
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you'll work on low-level firmware and embedded systems development across a range of next-generation products and prototypes.
This role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, working close to hardware, and contributing within a fast-moving R&D-led environment where innovation and experimentation are actively encouraged.
What You'll Be Doing
- Developing and maintaining embedded software for ARM Cortex-M / STM32-based systems
- Designing and implementing new firmware features and capabilities
- Debugging and resolving low-level embedded and hardware integration issues
- Working with communication protocols including CAN, UART, SPI and I2C
- Supporting board bring-up, integration and system-level testing
- Contributing to performance optimisation, reliability improvements and code quality
- Working on connected and intelligent systems with real-world applications
What We're Looking For
- 2-3yrs at least of commercial experience in embedded systems / firmware development
- Strong Embedded C programming skills
- Experience working with STM32 or similar microcontroller platforms
- Understanding of low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
- Confident debugging embedded systems using oscilloscopes, debuggers and logic analysers
- Familiarity with Git and modern development workflows
- Comfortable working within a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment
- Strong problem-solving mindset and interest in R&D / innovation-led engineering
Nice experience to have
Any exposure to the following would be advantageous:
- Motor control systems and platforms, Power electronics
- RTOS experience, bootloaders and firmware update strategies
- Python or scripting for testing/automation and any knowledge of Connected devices / IoT systems and safety-critical or high-reliability systems
