Senior Embedded Software Engineer Cellular / DSP Bedfordshire Hybrid This is an engineering team where decisions aren t pushed up the chain they re made by the people doing the work. The structure is flat. The expectation is ownership. And the engineers here don t just build systems they shape how they re built. You ll be working on live wireless systems , taking real cellular signals and making them usable in unpredictable environments. Not simulations. Not ideal conditions. Real-world RF problems that need solving properly. The Role You ll operate across the embedded stack, with the freedom to approach problems properly not within rigid boundaries: Embedded C firmware development Cellular protocol layers (MAC / RLC) DSP implementation where needed Integration with RF hardware, DSPs and FPGA platforms You won t be siloed. You ll work directly with RF, hardware, FPGA and DSP engineers to solve system-level challenges. The Environment A 20-person engineering team spanning RF, DSP, FPGA, hardware and software. What makes it different: Engineers self-manage no micromanagement Decisions are made within the team, not escalated through layers Collaboration is direct and cross-disciplinary You re trusted to own problems end-to-end, not just your piece For the right person, that level of trust and responsibility is genuinely liberating. Why This Role Engineers influence technical direction, not just delivery Work on real-world wireless systems, not controlled environments Broad exposure across embedded, DSP, RF and system integration Employee-owned structure you have a real stake in the business What Matters Strong Embedded C experience Exposure to cellular systems (ideally MAC / RLC or similar layers) Experience working close to hardware / performance-critical systems Comfortable operating with autonomy and accountability DSP implementation experience is highly beneficial Package £75,000 £85,000 base 15% profit-related bonus 7% non-contributory pension Hybrid working (typically 3 days onsite) If you prefer environments where everything is defined for you this probably isn t the right fit. If you want ownership, influence, and the freedom to solve complex problems properly, it s worth a conversation.
