Senior Embedded Electronics Engineer – Manchester

Manchester | Hybrid

Competitive Salary + Bonus

Embedded C/C++ | RTOS | ARM | STM32 | Electronics

Are you an experienced Embedded Engineer who enjoys working across both firmware and hardware , rather than being limited to one side of product development?

We're working with an established technology business that's expanding its R&D team following continued growth and investment into a number of new product development projects.

They're looking for a Senior Embedded Electronics Engineer to take a key role across the full product lifecycle – from initial concept and architecture through to development, board bring-up, testing and production.

What you'll be working on:

Developing real-time embedded firmware in C/C++

Working with ARM Cortex-M, STM32, ESP32, NXP and similar MCUs

Configuring and optimising RTOS / FreeRTOS environments

Developing peripheral drivers – SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet

Board bring-up, bootloader development and hardware debugging

Analogue & digital electronics, schematics and PCB development

Embedded security, reliability and system-level debugging

Leading architecture decisions and mentoring other engineers

We're particularly interested in engineers with:

✅ Strong commercial Embedded C/C++ experience

✅ Excellent microcontroller / MCU knowledge

✅ RTOS and real-time embedded development experience

✅ Genuine hands-on electronics and hardware capability

✅ Experience reading schematics and debugging at board level

✅ A background taking embedded products from concept through to production

Experience with Altium, embedded cybersecurity, encryption, automated testing or CI/CD would be a strong advantage.

What's on offer?

Hybrid working

Competitive salary + bonus

️ 25 days' holiday + bank holidays

Company pension

Training & professional development

Opportunity to influence engineering and product direction

️ Genuine technical ownership and autonomy

This isn't a purely firmware-focused position – it's particularly suited to an engineer who enjoys getting close to the electronics, hardware and complete embedded product .
