Firmware Design Engineer

Embedded Firmware Engineer | £45,000–£50,000 | Stockport | 4-Day Week

A genuine four-day working week. 34 hours, Monday to Thursday.

I’m recruiting an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join an established electronics manufacturer in Stockport, developing products that are designed and manufactured in-house.

This is a hands-on product development role. You’ll take ownership of firmware across individual projects and see your work progress from development and prototype through testing, validation and into manufacture.

You’ll work closely with electronics, mechanical and manufacturing engineers, with support from an experienced Lead Firmware Engineer.

What we’re looking for:

• Commercial embedded firmware development experience
• Strong Embedded C
• Microcontroller development
• Firmware debugging and testing
• Hardware/firmware integration
• Experience developing physical electronic products

Experience with STM32 or PIC would be particularly useful.

Exposure to RTOS development, ThreadX, USBX, TCP/IP, USB, IAR, STM32CubeIDE or C# would also be useful, but you don’t need to tick every box.

What’s on offer:

• £45,000–£50,000
• 34-hour, four-day week
• Monday to Thursday
• Flexitime around core hours
• Private medical insurance
• Healthcare cash plan
• Pension
• Life cover
• Company bonus scheme
• Enhanced family leave
• Birthday off
• Free on-site parking and EV charging

The role is predominantly site-based in Stockport, with occasional home working where appropriate.

You’ll need an existing right to work in the UK as sponsorship isn’t available.

If you’re an Embedded Firmware Engineer, Firmware Engineer or Embedded Software Engineer looking for more ownership of the products you develop, I’d be interested in hearing from you.
