Senior Embedded Software Engineer Cambridgeshire Hybrid This is an opportunity to join a leading engineering consultancy delivering complex technology projects across defence, medical and industrial sectors. We're looking for a well-rounded Embedded Software Engineer with strong Embedded Linux fundamentals and hands-on Yocto experience. This role requires engineers who can work deeply within Linux when required, including custom Linux builds, kernel development and device drivers, whilst also being comfortable working across RTOS, MCU and bare-metal systems. Responsibilities: Developing custom Embedded Linux platforms using Yocto. Working at kernel, driver and system level on Arm-based embedded platforms. Supporting board bring-up, hardware integration, debugging and performance optimisation. Developing software for RTOS and bare-metal embedded systems. Collaborating with FPGA, electronics and multidisciplinary engineering teams across a variety of projects. Requirements: Commercial Embedded Linux development experience. Strong hands-on Yocto experience, including building and maintaining custom Linux images. Experience with Linux kernel, device driver and low-level system development. Strong C/C++ programming skills. Experience with RTOS, MCU and bare-metal embedded development. Ability to adapt to new technologies and work across different domains. Eligible for UK SC Security Clearance. Bonus Skills: DSP or strong mathematical foundations. Python, Rust or C# experience. Experience working within consultancy, defence or highly varied engineering environments. This is not a Linux-only position. The successful engineer will spend periods focused heavily on Embedded Linux and Yocto, alongside projects involving RTOS, bare-metal and wider embedded development. The role is ideal for engineers who enjoy technical variety, continuous learning and solving new challenges rather than working on a single long-term product. Apply now to join a team where engineers regularly expand their skillsets and contribute to cutting-edge projects across multiple industries! Platform Recruitment: Platform Recruitment covers a wide range of IT and Engineering positions, including Embedded Software, Electronics, FPGA, Mechanical, C++, DevOps, Cloud, Technical Sales, Project Management and more.

Maximise hardware capabilities through smart crafting to deliver fastest possible financial software We are seeking a Senior C++ Software Engineer, skilled in creating highly-optimised low level code to run under Linux. As a senior member of this Cambridge-based development team, you will play a leading role throughout the SDLC from defining initial requirements to software implementation, verification and deployment. Your focus will be on dependability as well as seeking clever optimisations to take best advantage of the underlying hardware. You will interact with colleagues with other technical background such as electronics and FPGA design, as well as the end users of the code you create. Your knowledge will help steer the technical direction of the team and provide mentoring for less experienced colleagues. You will need: A solid academic background in computer science, electronics, or a similarly applicable subject. Excellent software design and development skills together with the in-depth knowledge of how C++ works under the skin, allowing you to avoid performance pitfalls and create fast, reliable code. A good understanding of Linux, as well as areas such as concurrency, network protocols, and CPU architectures. Existing coding skills, or a demonstrable interest in Rust. Great team work, communication, and analytical skills. Full existing UK work permission. A highly competitive package is on offer to the successful candidate, including a performance-based bonus. Joining at an exciting point, this is an excellent chance to join a company that's committed to staying at the technological forefront of what they do, and to nurturing the development of their employees. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts. Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you.
