Embedded Software Tech Lead (IC Bring-Up, Pre-Tapeout Validation)Whiteley, Fareham (3 days per week onsite)£80,000 + 10% BonusThis role cannot offer Visa Sponsorship. Your new company You'll be joining the European HQ of a high-growth, innovation-led semiconductor business operating at the forefront of next-gen connectivity technology. The company is pushing technical boundaries, with significant investment into R&D and a clear vision to lead across firmware and software.The role is hybrid and you'll be required to work 3 days onsite in Whiteley. Your new role This is a hands-on Technical Lead position sitting within a specialist embedded software team, where you will take ownership of a small sub-team of engineers while remaining deeply involved in engineering delivery. You will be responsible for driving the design, development and delivery of low-level embedded software and firmware for advanced capacitive sensing products, working across the full software lifecycle from concept through to production.A key part of the role is technical ownership. This is not a position for someone who has only contributed as an individual contributor. You will bring prior experience leading projects or mentoring engineers, with accountability for delivery, technical direction and quality. While overall team allocation sits with the Software Manager, you'll be the technical authority for your sub-team, guiding architecture decisions, overseeing delivery and supporting engineers day-to-day.From a technical perspective, this is a true embedded role. You will be working close to the hardware, developing low-level software on boards in a pre-RTOS environment. Strong experience in bare metal development is essential, alongside a solid understanding of IC interaction and Digital Signal Processing concepts. The work combines firmware development in C with higher-level modelling and algorithm development using Python, giving a strong blend of low-level engineering and system-level thinking.The environment is collaborative with a strong engineering culture where people are trusted to take ownership and make a tangible impact on product direction. Despite its growth trajectory, there remains a close-knit feel across teams, with a real emphasis on knowledge sharing and continuous improvement. What you'll need to succeed You will already be operating at Senior/Lead level with 2+ years leadership experience (either mentoring others or leading projects).We are looking for Semiconductor lifecycle experience, specifically deep knowlegde of IC Bring Up / Pre-Tapeout Validation.You will bring strong experience in embedded software and firmware development using C, alongside practical experience working at a low level on embedded targets.
