Medical Engineers Recruitment

Leeds / Global

Software Engineer

Job Description

Most software engineers spend their careers building things that never leave a screen.

This one won't be like that.

A Leeds-based robotics MedTech company has built a sedation-free colonoscopy device: magnetic, single-use, born out of a decade of research at the University of Leeds. It's already running in human clinical trials.

The heart of this role is a fully custom embedded Linux distribution, not a standard build, and you'll own it. Alongside that, you'll get hands-on with the robotic manipulation algorithms steering the scope itself, and help set the coding standards a growing team will build on.

What the role actually involves:

  • Maintaining and evolving a custom Linux distro on the edge platform, genuinely core to the role
  • Contributing to the robotic algorithms that guide the device
  • Some ownership of the front-end/UI layer
  • Setting the coding conventions the rest of the team follows
  • Working close to the hardware, not just abstracted software
  • Doing it properly with structured Git workflow, real lifecycle discipline

What you'll need:

  • Significant depth in custom embedded Linux (Yocto knowledge a bonus)
  • Some background in robotic or mechatronic systems
  • Comfortable with Git and structured software delivery
  • C/C++ and embedded systems exposure
  • UI experience is a plus, not a requirement

Strong graduates with a relevant placement or gap year are just as welcome here as experienced engineers.
