Embedded Systems Engineer

Embedded Systems Engineer - Birmingham

KO2's client is a pioneering technology company based in Birmingham, working at the forefront of operational efficiency in water management. They are now seeking a talented embedded systems engineer (also known as an electronics software engineer) to join their close-knit and collaborative engineering team.

This role is ideal for an experienced electronics engineer who enjoys a mix of hardware and software design. You will be involved in designing both analogue electronics and digital electronics, as well as writing embedded C for real-time systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop analogue and digital electronics for embedded systems
• Write and maintain embedded C code for ARM or similar microcontrollers
• Collaborate closely with the team to deliver innovative solutions for industrial clients
• Support board bring-up, debugging and testing of electronics and firmware

Skills Required:

• Proven experience as an embedded software engineer
• Strong background as an electronics engineer, covering both analogue and digital electronics
• Proficiency in embedded software development using C
• Experience with schematics, PCB layout and hardware debugging

Location and Flexibility:
The role is based in Birmingham. KO2's client values team collaboration and face-to-face engineering discussions, so being onsite is important. However, they offer a grown-up and flexible approach to work. Senior engineers can typically work three days onsite and two days remotely, depending on the project stage.

This opportunity would suit a professional embedded software engineer who enjoys delivering high-quality, output-driven solutions, or an electronics engineer looking to continue applying both hardware and firmware skills in a rewarding environment.

If you're an electronics engineer or an embedded software engineer who enjoys working across hardware and software, and you're looking for a flexible, collaborative role with meaningful engineering impact, we'd love to hear from you.
