Embedded Software Engineer

Salisbury - Upto £60,000

We are recruiting an Embedded Software Engineer to join a long-established engineering and manufacturing business based just outside Salisbury. The company designs and builds precision weighing and automation systems used worldwide in pharmaceutical, healthcare, and industrial environments.

This is a hands‑on design role where the Embedded Software Engineer will work on real‑time embedded systems that directly interface with electronic hardware. All design, development, and testing is carried out in‑house, offering excellent variety and ownership across the full product lifecycle.

• Designing and developing embedded software in C/C++ for ARM and STM
  32 microcontrollers
• Working closely with electronics engineers to define hardware and software interfaces
• Developing low‑level drivers and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB)
• Working with RTOS and bare‑metal environments
• Supporting system integration, prototype development, and in‑house testing
• Debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analysers and JTAG tools
• Improving performance, reliability and maintainability across the embedded codebase

• Experience in C or C++ for embedded systems
• Understanding of ARM Cortex‑M or similar microcontroller platforms
• Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS or similar) or bare‑metal programming
• Knowledge of communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB
• Ability to collaborate with electronics engineers and support hardware bring‑up
• Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail when working with precision systems

• A hybrid working pattern, typically 2-3 days per week in the Salisbury office
• The chance to work on accuracy‑critical embedded and electromechanical systems
• A stable business with UK‑based design and manufacturing
• Long‑term technical development within a close‑knit engineering team

If you are an Embedded Software Engineer with a passion for high‑quality embedded development and working closely with hardware, we would like to hear from you.
