Embedded Firmware Engineer

2x Senior & Principal Embedded Systems Engineers | Bristol | £45,000–£70,000 approx. — happy to pay more for the right talent

We are a growing engineering team hiring for two embedded systems engineering positions.

We're really looking for someone who combines embedded software with systems engineering, requirements capture, PCB design and electronics development.

Both roles sit within the same team, working on the same next-generation sensing products, but they differ in seniority, scope and required experience:

Senior Systems Engineer: up to £55,000 approx. Principal Embedded Systems Engineer: up to £70,000 approx.

The overview below sets out what both roles have in common, followed by a summary of how they differ and the specific requirements for each.

Role Overview

As a Senior or Principal Embedded Systems Engineer you will play a key role in the development of our next generation of permanently installed products. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will contribute across the full product lifecycle, from concept and prototype through to production, customer deployment and ongoing product improvement.

This is a hands-on engineering role combining embedded firmware, electronics development and product integration. You will work closely with firmware, hardware, software, mechanical and manufacturing engineers to design reliable industrial products deployed in demanding environments across the energy, infrastructure and industrial sectors.

The Senior role suits an engineer with several years of commercial experience who enjoys solving practical engineering problems and is comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries. The Principal role suits a more experienced engineer ready to take on greater ownership of product design and engineering decisions, and to develop into a senior technical contributor for the team.

Previous experience of ATEX or IECEx is not essential for either role. We will provide training and mentoring for candidates with the right technical aptitude and attitude.

Purpose of the Role

The successful candidates will help deliver high-quality embedded products by contributing across embedded firmware development, electronics design and debugging, prototype development, product verification and validation, manufacturing support, product integration, and continuous product improvement. The Senior role is intended to develop into a...
