Embedded Software Engineer
My client is looking for an experienced Embedded Software Developer to join a growing engineering team working on advanced embedded systems and next-generation technology products.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be involved across the full software lifecycle — from embedded development through to build systems, testing, and deployment. You’ll work closely with cross-functional engineering teams in a collaborative R&D environment while also having the autonomy to own complex technical tasks.
The Role
You’ll be developing and maintaining software primarily in C++, supporting embedded Linux environments, and contributing to robust CI/CD and testing processes. This role would suit someone who enjoys solving technical challenges and working across multiple layers of a modern embedded software stack.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain applications primarily in C++
- Work within embedded Linux environments using Yocto or Buildroot
- Configure and optimise build systems using CMake
- Support CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or similar tooling
- Develop and maintain unit, integration, and system-level tests
- Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams
- Participate in code reviews, technical documentation, and process improvements
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues independently
Required Experience
- 5+ years’ experience developing in C++ within Linux environments
- Good working knowledge of Python for scripting, tooling, APIs, or test automation
- Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot
- Strong experience with CMake
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools, ideally Jenkins
- Solid understanding of software design principles and testing practices
- Ability to work independently and proactively solve problems
Nice to Have
- Experience with Docker or containerised environments
- Knowledge of networking, hardware interfaces, or API design
- Experience with GraphQL
- Familiarity with Python/C++ bindings such as pybind
What’s on Offer
- Flexible hybrid working
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge embedded technology
- Collaborative engineering environment
- Real ownership and influence across projects
- Long-term career development opportunities
