Senior Embedded System Engineer

Firmware Engineer – TinyML for Agricultural Monitoring Systems

Embedded Systems | TinyML | Environmental & Agricultural Sensors

We’re looking for a Firmware Engineer to join our client's team in Cambridge, helping design and optimize TinyML–enabled embedded platforms that power next-generation environmental and precision agriculture systems. You’ll work on deploying ML models at the edge—on microcontrollers that collect, process, and respond to real-world data with minimal power and latency.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and optimize firmware for MCU-based devices running TinyML models in field environments.
• Work closely with data science and hardware teams to deploy models for crop monitoring, soil health, and weather prediction.
• Implement low-power sensing strategies and OTA update mechanisms.
• Integrate sensors (moisture, pH, gas, camera modules) and communication stacks (LoRaWAN, BLE, NB-IoT).
• Ensure real-time, robust performance across varied environmental conditions.

You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development.
• Hands-on experience with TinyML frameworks (TensorFlow Lite Micro, Edge Impulse, or similar).
• Strong C/C++ programming and experience with STM32, Nordic, or ESP32 MCUs.
• Familiarity with RTOS or bare-metal embedded environments.
• Understanding of low-power design, ADC/DAC, and edge deployment constraints.

Nice to have:

• Prior experience in agriculture, IoT, or environmental tech.
• Familiarity with OTA firmware updates and secure boot chains.
• Knowledge of ML pipeline optimization for embedded inference.
• Exposure to signal processing or time-series sensor data.
