Embedded Software Engineer
Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer
Location: Reading
Salary: £50,000 to £60,000
Employment Type: Permanent
Working Arrangements: Hybrid working is offered, with three days on site and two from home, along with the flexibility to be on site as needed for key projects.
An established engineering and technology company is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to play a key role in developing low‑level software across its next generation of embedded products.
This is a hands‑on technical role with significant influence, working close to the hardware and contributing across the full software lifecycle. You’ll be responsible for developing robust embedded solutions, enabling new hardware platforms, and ensuring reliable system performance on ARM‑based architectures.
You’ll work across device drivers, bootloaders, kernel configuration, and Yocto‑based Linux builds, collaborating closely with hardware, firmware, and wider engineering teams to deliver high‑quality, production‑ready software.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain low‑level device drivers for ARM‑based platforms.
- Design, implement, and optimise Embedded C software for constrained environments.
- Own and enhance bootloader functionality and hardware bring‑up.
- Build, customise, and maintain Yocto‑based Linux distributions.
- Configure, integrate, and debug the Linux kernel for new and existing platforms.
- Contribute to BSP development and hardware enablement activities.
- Work closely with hardware, firmware, and systems engineering to resolve issues early and ensure smooth integration.
About You
- Strong experience in embedded software development within engineering or technology environments.
- Proven background in low‑level development, including device drivers, bootloaders, and kernel‑level work. Experience with BSP or bare metal programming.
- Solid understanding of Yocto, build systems, and Linux internals.
- Confident working with ARM processors, toolchains, and debugging tools.
- Analytical, detail‑focused, and able to collaborate effectively across functions.
Qualifications
- Degree or equivalent experience in Embedded Systems, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or similar.
- Experience with Yocto, Linux kernel, or BSP development is highly advantageous.
