GBP 55,000 – GBP 60,000
We are currently partnering with a cutting‑edge deep‑tech company that has recently received funding and is developing next‑generation data storage solutions. The recent funding has allowed the company to scale the team this year with numerous hires planned across the business. The company is building an innovative platform focused on energy‑efficient, highly resilient storage technology designed to address the growing demands of modern data infrastructure. Off the back of this, they are now looking to hire across their Engineering teams starting with this role: Embedded Engineer.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Embedded Engineer to join a highly multidisciplinary R and D environment working at the intersection of electronics, software, and applied science. In this role you will play a key part in designing and integrating precision electromechanical systems at the core of the technology. You will work hands‑on in the lab, collaborating closely with scientists and engineers to rapidly prototype and refine complex systems. This role would suit someone who enjoys solving unconventional engineering challenges and working in a fast‑paced, experimental setting.
The role is based in West London and requires onsite working five days per week.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop precision electronic and electromechanical systems for accurate and repeatable control.
- Own the integration of rigs and prototypes as system complexity increases.
- Diagnose and debug electromechanical and control system challenges.
- Develop innovative solutions to solve complex technical problems.
- Work hands‑on in the lab: designing, building, testing and refining systems.
- Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams across engineering and science.
Experience Required
- Minimum of 2 years’ experience in electronics, embedded systems or mechatronics within an R and D or multidisciplinary environment.
- Master’s degree in a relevant subject.
- Strong commercial experience with C/C++ programming.
- Hands‑on experience with microcontrollers such as ESP32, STM32, Teensy or Raspberry Pi.
- Confident understanding of precision motor control and encoder interfacing.
- Working knowledge of Linux systems.
- Experience using electronics design tools such as KiCAD, Altium or EasyEDA.
- Strong debugging experience across hardware and embedded software, including digital signal processing.
- Understanding of communication protocols such as I2C, SPI and UART.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with FPGA design and integration.
- Familiarity with high‑speed interfaces such as PCIe or SAS.
- Experience with Python or other high‑level programming languages.
- Exposure to optics, photonics or precision instrumentation.
Benefits
Bonus, 25 days Holiday, Pension, Healthcare.
