Embedded Software Engineer

Senior Embedded Software Engineer | C/C++ | RTOS | ARM | Hybrid

Ware, Hertfordshire (Hybrid)

I'm working with a global technology organisation that develops advanced surveillance and imaging systems used to support public safety, critical infrastructure, and security applications worldwide.

Their specialist engineering team is looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to help develop complex, real-world products from concept through to deployment and ongoing support.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware and wants to see their code operating in sophisticated electromechanical systems deployed in demanding environments.

• Developing embedded software in C/C++ for bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
• Creating low-level drivers and communication interfaces
• Working closely with hardware engineers on board bring-up, integration and debugging
• Optimising system performance, memory utilisation and power consumption
• Supporting the full product lifecycle from development through testing and maintenance
• Contributing to technically complex products that combine software, electronics and mechanical systems

• Strong embedded software development experience
• Experience with microcontrollers and ARM-based platforms
• Knowledge of protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN and networking technologies including TCP/UDP
• Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analysers and other debugging tools
• Experience working closely with electronics and hardware teams
• Understanding of bare-metal and/or RTOS environments

• Python scripting
• Robotics or motion-control experience
• CI/CD and automated testing knowledge
• Ability to read and understand electronic schematics

• Interesting products with real-world impact
• Strong engineering culture and collaborative environment
• Hybrid working model
• Private medical cover
• Employee share purchase plan
• Excellent training and career development opportunities
• Long-term stability within a globally recognised technology business

This role would suit an engineer who enjoys solving complex embedded challenges, working across hardware and software boundaries, and being part of a highly capable multidisciplinary engineering team.
