Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Senior / Principal Embedded Software Engineer

Location:

Leeds (Hybrid - 2 days onsite)

Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 (Flexible based on experience)

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to take full ownership of the firmware function for a global leader in Med Tech. This is a unique "sole authority" position where you will be the most senior software voice in the business, responsible for setting the technical direction for life-changing mechatronic devices.

You will split your time between developing next-generation platforms and maintaining existing product firmware. This is a hands‑on role involving close collaboration with mechanical and electronics teams to ensure seamless integration of software with physical hardware.

• Full Ownership:
  Manage the development and maintenance of product firmware and custom internal tools, such as manufacturing test rigs.
• Process Leadership:
  Own the software risk assessments, source control (Git), and build processes.
• Standards & Compliance:
  Set documentation standards that support product compliance in a regulated environment.
• Technical Strategy:
  Work with external partners, contribute to technical briefs, and upskill non-software colleagues in software‑adjacent tasks.

• Experience:
  
  At least 5+ years of hands‑on experience with C/C++ in embedded systems.
• Mechatronics:
  Proven experience managing live sensor data and motor control.
• Regulated Industry: A background in Medical, Aerospace, Automotive, or similar sectors where documentation and risk management (ISO/IEC) are standard.
• Autonomy:
  Comfortable being the only software engineer in the room and explaining technical concepts to non-experts.
  
  Tools:
  Proficient with microprocessor peripherals, version control, and ideally electronic test equipment like oscilloscopes.

The role offers a hybrid working pattern (baseline 2 days onsite in Leeds), with more time required during critical build and test phases.
