About NDT Global

NDT Global is the leading provider of inline diagnostic solutions, advanced data insights, subsea inspection, and integrity management services that safeguard energy‑sector infrastructure. The company is recognized for its expertise in both ultrasonic inspection technologies—such as Pulse Echo, Pitch‑and‑Catch, Phased Array, and Acoustic Resonance (ART Scan)—and ultra‑high‑resolution Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inspection services. These differentiated offerings, along with non‑ultrasonic technologies like Inertial Measurement Units and others in development, enable NDT Global to deliver comprehensive asset integrity solutions.

Innovation is at the core of NDT Global's mission. We continuously challenge the boundaries of existing technologies to deliver transformational solutions that empower the industry to achieve safer, more cost‑effective pipeline management. Our commitment to research and development drives the creation of vital new methods and tools that address the evolving needs of our customers while setting new industry standards.

By strategically applying inspection technologies to detect, diagnose, and model various types of threats, NDT Global provides predictive, decision‑ready insights. These insights, driven by the world’s most accurate data, enable asset owners to optimize infrastructure health, drive operational efficiencies, reduce risk, and minimize their carbon footprint.

Purpose

The Firmware Developer is responsible for owning the design, development, and delivery of embedded firmware for hardware‑based systems, ensuring solutions are reliable, efficient, and fit for purpose. As the primary firmware point of contact, the role operates with a high degree of autonomy across the full development lifecycle, from initial design through to validation and field deployment.

Working within a cross‑functional engineering environment, the Firmware Developer collaborates with hardware, software, and quality teams to define requirements, resolve technical challenges, and ensure successful system integration. The role is accountable for firmware quality, performance, and compliance, while also driving improvements in development practices, testing approaches, and overall product robustness.

Responsibilities

• Firmware Engineering & Technical Delivery
  • Design, develop, and maintain robust embedded firmware for microcontrollers and hardware platforms, with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Debug, test, and validate firmware on target hardware using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
  • Implement and optimise hardware interfaces and communication protocols, including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet.
  • Develop and maintain low‑level drivers and board support packages (BSP), supporting system integration across hardware and software components.
  • Own firmware design and architectural decisions for assigned systems, making informed technical trade‑offs to meet performance, resource, and project constraints.
  • Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including design specifications, interface definitions, and test procedures.
• Collaborate effectively with hardware engineers, software teams, and project managers to define requirements and deliver integrated solutions.
• Take full ownership of firmware components or features, ensuring timely delivery against project milestones.
• Lead by example in code quality, contributing to and reviewing code to maintain consistency and robustness across the codebase.
• Quality, Standards & Compliance
  • Apply coding standards (e.g., MISRA
    
    C) and embedded best practices to produce reliable, maintainable code.
  • Ensure firmware complies with relevant safety, regulatory, and cybersecurity standards.
  • Identify, drive, and implement improvements to development, testing, and integration processes.
• Continue developing expertise in embedded systems, including RTOS, embedded Linux, and modern tool chains.
• Provide guidance and informal mentorship to Engineers where applicable, including knowledge sharing and…
