Embedded Systems Engineer

We Are Hiring – Embedded Systems Engineer

Bristol, UK

As an Embedded Systems Engineer at Inductosense, you will play a key role in the development of our next generation of permanently installed ultrasonic sensing products. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will contribute across the full product lifecycle, from concept and prototype through to production, customer deployment and ongoing product improvement.

This is a hands‑on engineering role combining embedded firmware, electronics development and product integration. You will work closely with firmware, hardware, software, mechanical and manufacturing engineers to design reliable industrial products deployed in demanding environments across the energy, infrastructure and industrial sectors.

The role would suit an engineer with several years of commercial experience who enjoys solving practical engineering problems, is comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries, and wants to broaden their expertise into regulated industrial products, including ATEX/IECEx intrinsic safety.

Previous experience of ATEX or IECEx is not essential. We will provide training and mentoring for candidates with the right technical aptitude and attitude.

Inductosense designs and manufactures ultrasonic sensing technology that enables asset owners to monitor corrosion more effectively. Our technology helps customers reduce costs, prevent unplanned shutdowns, support net zero targets, and transition to fully digital solutions.

Our core technology is based on patented, embeddable, wireless, battery‑free sensors supported by a range of digital data collection systems, including IoT and robotics platforms. The unique advantages of this technology also allow us to work with OEM partners to integrate sensing capability directly into products during manufacture.

Since spinning out of the University of Bristol in 2015, we have focused on developing and certifying our technology while working closely with major industrial companies around the world. Inductosense’s WAND technology has now been approved by some of the largest organisations in the energy sector, and customers are increasingly deploying our systems at scale.

The successful candidate will help deliver high-quality embedded products by contributing across:

• Embedded firmware development
• Electronics design and debugging
• Product verification and validation
• Manufacturing support
• Product integration

This role is intended to develop into a senior technical contributor with increasing ownership of product design and engineering decisions.

Embedded Firmware Development

• Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for low‑power microcontroller platforms.
• Design robust state machines and embedded control software.
• Debug firmware using JTAG/SWD and modern embedded debugging tools.
• Develop drivers for sensors, memory devices and communication peripherals.
• Optimise firmware for reliability, battery life and performance.
• Support firmware release, version control and configuration management.

Electronics Design & Development

• Assist in the design of analogue and digital electronic circuits.
• Participate in schematic capture and PCB design reviews.
• Select appropriate electronic components balancing performance, cost and availability.
• Support prototype bring‑up and board‑level debugging.
• Use oscilloscopes, logic analysers and electronic test equipment to diagnose issues.

Hardware/Firmware Integration

• Integrate embedded firmware with electronic hardware.
• Investigate hardware/software interactions.
• Support integration of sensors, communications and power management.
• Resolve system‑level technical issues.

Product Development

• Contribute throughout the complete product lifecycle from concept through manufacture.
• Build and evaluate engineering prototypes.
• Support design verification and validation activities.
• Contribute to engineering risk assessments.

Testing & Validation

• Develop functional and regression tests.
• Execute verification plans.
• Analyse failures using structured root‑cause analysis.l>
• Support environmental, reliability and endurance testing.
• Document results and…
