Embedded Software Engineer Real-Time Embedded Systems C Control Systems If you love getting close to hardware and writing software that makes real systems come alive this is the kind of role you ll want to hear about. This Embedded Software Engineer role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving real-world engineering challenges through clean, efficient embedded code. You ll be working on sophisticated microprocessor-based systems where software directly controls sensing, real-time processing and closed-loop control functionality. This is the kind of role where your code doesn t just sit behind a screen it drives real products, interacts with hardware and delivers measurable performance. If you enjoy low-level development, hardware interaction, debugging at component level and seeing your work move from concept to deployment, this could be a brilliant next step. What You ll Be Doing As an Embedded Software Engineer, you ll play a key role in developing software across both embedded targets and supporting desktop applications. Your day-to-day will include: Developing high-quality embedded software for microprocessor-based real-time systems Writing efficient, robust C code for embedded applications Developing software for closed-loop control and sensing applications Working with advanced embedded platforms including SoC and microcontroller-based devices Supporting development across platforms such as Zynq 7000 SoC, TI MSP430 and Renesas RX series processors Designing and developing supporting Windows-based applications for control, configuration and testing Building GUI-based tools using C# within Microsoft Visual Studio Collaborating on the full product development lifecycle from requirements analysis through to implementation and installation Debugging hardware and software issues at component and system level Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop robust, high-performance solutions This is a role where you ll have genuine technical ownership and visibility across the full development process. The Kind of Embedded Software Engineer Who Thrives Here You re someone who enjoys understanding how things work at a low level. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you re naturally curious, technically hands-on and enjoy getting into the detail whether that s debugging hardware interactions, optimising embedded performance or solving complex control challenges. You re equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative engineering team, and you care about writing software that is reliable, maintainable and built to perform. Most importantly, you enjoy building products that solve real technical problems. What You ll Bring Strong experience programming embedded systems Proven ability writing high-quality embedded C (minimum 2+ years) Experience using Microsoft Visual Studio Experience developing Windows applications , ideally in C# Hands-on hardware debugging and testing experience at component level Strong technical troubleshooting and debugging skills Ability to work both collaboratively and independently Degree in Computing, Electronics, Engineering or another numerate discipline (or equivalent experience) Desirable Experience Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial: Control theory and implementation of digital control systems Video systems and associated standards Linux-based development environments Experience working with embedded SoC platforms Real-time sensing or closed-loop control applications Why This Embedded Software Engineer Role Stands Out This Embedded Software Engineer position offers far more than pure firmware development. You ll work across both embedded and desktop software, gain exposure to advanced processing platforms, and contribute to products that combine software, control systems and hardware in meaningful ways. It s an opportunity to develop broad technical capability while staying deeply hands-on with the engineering. For engineers who enjoy variety, technical challenge and seeing their software directly influence product performance, this is a role with real substance.
