KO2's client is a well-established, design consultancy specialising in bespoke embedded electronic product design. Known for high-quality engineering across a wide range of applications, they combine in-house product development with custom design work, giving engineers exposure to varied, technically challenging projects across the full product lifecycle.

They're now looking for a Mid to Senior Electronics Engineer with strong embedded software experience to join their growing team.

This is a hands-on role sitting right at the hardware-software boundary - covering everything from schematic capture and PCB design through to board bring-up and embedded C development, on complex embedded systems including both microcontroller and application processor-based designs.

What you'll be doing

• Designing analogue and digital electronics, including PCB layout
• Bringing up new hardware and debugging at board level using embedded software
• Developing embedded C code to support hardware validation and functionality
• Working across the full product lifecycle, from concept through to production
• Contributing to a range of projects, including next-generation embedded and IoT-style systems

What they're looking for

• Strong experience in analogue and digital circuit design
• Confidence with board bring-up and debugging using embedded C
• Experience with common interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN
• Comfortable working with microcontrollers (e.g. ARM Cortex-M) and ideally application processors
• Adaptable, with the ability to pick up new technologies as needed (e.g. Linux, FPGA, or higher-level software

Desirable:

• RTOS experience
• Mains-powered design / power supply experience
• Experience with single board computers or similar embedded platforms
• Exposure to production or manufacturing environments

This role is based on-site, reflecting the hands-on nature of the work - particularly hardware development and lab-based testing.

If you're an engineer who thrives across both electronics and embedded software and want to join a business where your work genuinely makes an impact, this one's well worth exploring.
