Embedded Software Engineer
Embedded Software Engineer – C/C++ Embedded Systems | Edinburgh
Ready to build software that actually matters?
We’re looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join a small, highly skilled engineering team in Edinburgh. You’ll design and implement embedded software in C/C++ for the next generation of certified, high-integrity products used worldwide — with real ownership of meaningful parts of the system, not just a tiny cog in a large machine.
This is a role where your decisions count. You’ll work end-to-end with genuine influence over architecture, quality and delivery. Quality, reliability and precision define the work, and you’ll see the direct impact of what you build every day.
What you’ll do
- Design, develop and implement embedded software in C/C++ for safety-critical systems
- Take ownership of significant parts of the system architecture and delivery
- Work with formal requirements, full traceability and rigorous design/coding standards
- Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews and peer code reviews
- Collaborate closely with a high-trust, friendly engineering team
What you’ll bring
- Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience)
- Proven experience developing embedded software in C/C++
- A careful, methodical approach and genuine pride in craftsmanship
- Comfort working in structured, standards-driven environments
What you’ll get
- Substantial technical ownership and real influence
- Continuous learning on complex, real-world problems
- A friendly, high-trust team that values quality and collaboration
- Full training and structured onboarding to help you build confidence quickly
- Clear career growth driven by genuine impact, not incremental tasks
If you want your work to count and your skills to accelerate, this is the role.
