Embedded Software Engineer
Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer Location: Glasgow Salary: Up to £55,000 (DOE)About the Role: This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing engineering team as they develop the next generation of intelligent, high-performance technology. We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to join their Programming Department and play a key role in developing firmware and embedded software that powers smart consumer devices. You will collaborate closely with hardware, electrical, and product development engineers to deliver highly reliable embedded solutions. Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontroller-based consumer products.
- Implement and optimise DSP algorithms, control logic, filtering, signal processing or sensor-handling functions.
- Develop low-level drivers for SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADC/DAC, and other interfaces.
- Work with cross-functional teams to integrate firmware with electronics and mechanical systems.
- Debug complex embedded issues using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and test automation frameworks.
- Review code to ensure maintainability, readability and high standards across the firmware codebase.
- Strong coding ability in C and C++ for embedded systems
- Experience with RTOS platforms (FreeRTOS, VxWorks) or embedded Linux
- Proven ability to debug complex firmware issues and identify root causes
- Experience with DSP algorithms such as filtering, FFT/IFFT, AGC, equalisation or noise suppression
- Experience on embedded platforms such as ARM Cortex-M, Blackfin, SHARC, TI DSPs, or similar
- Familiarity with VHDL or FPGA-based processing (desirable but not required)
- Experience with tools such as Code Composer Studio, Keil, Eclipse, Visual Studio, CLion
- Understanding of hardware schematics, datasheets, and mixed-signal electronics
