The role offers exposure to diverse projects across sensing, robotics, communications, and IoT, with opportunities to work on both Linux-based systems and bare-metal/RTOS environments. Key Responsibilities: Contribute to projects from concept through to delivery across multiple sectors, including industrial, defence, and medical. Develop software on embedded Linux systems (Arm-based SoCs) and maintain custom Linux images (Yocto, device trees, kernel/user space). Develop on RTOS and bare-metal systems across multiple silicon vendors (e.g., STMicroelectronics, Microchip). Support system bring-up, board integration, debugging, and performance optimisation. Collaborate closely with FPGA, electronics, and multidisciplinary engineering teams. Participate in project planning, documentation, and maintaining good software engineering practices.

Strong C/C++ skills; real-time embedded development experience desirable. Ability to adapt to new technologies and a motivation to work in a consultancy environment. Experience with higher-level languages for tooling/test automation (e.g., Python, C#/.NET) is a plus. Broader embedded experience (RTOS, bare-metal, hardware interfacing, DSP, protocols, state machines) advantageous. Capable of diagnosing complex system-level issues and reading electronics schematics. Strong communication skills and ability to produce technical documentation. Benefits & Culture: Competitive salary and excellent package. Stimulating consultancy environment with variety and new challenges. Support for career progression and professional development.
