Graduate Embedded Software Engineer A high tech product manufacturer is looking for a graduate embedded software engineer to join its electronics team. The company builds safety critical products for industrial use, and this role sits with the team responsible for the control and monitoring software that runs on them. The successful applicant will start out working alongside experienced engineers on firmware for ARM based microcontrollers, gradually taking on their own areas as they find their feet. Day to day that means writing C and C++ for embedded targets, learning how a real time operating system fits together, working with communications interfaces between boards and systems, and spending real time on the bench bringing hardware up and debugging it. What matters is being the sort of person who can be handed a board and some code and will happily dig into what is going on. Applicants will need: A degree in electronics, computer science or a related subject Some exposure to C or C++, whether through study, placement or personal projects An interest in working close to hardware rather than purely in software Evidence of building things, which counts for a great deal in this process The team places genuine weight on what candidates have made rather than only what they have studied, so a final year project, a personal build, or a public code repository will all be read properly. Applicants are encouraged to send links alongside their CV.
