About the role:

Okay, we’ve waffled long enough. So let’s get to the good bit: You.

As a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer your role sits within the Electronics and Embedded Firmware Team. You will be primarily focused on implementing firmware, but you will also be deeply involved in designing and documenting the system architecture on the projects you are responsible for. You will liaise with Product Managers and help breakdown features into tasks. Your work will have a direct impact on the lives of our customers as your code will serve both next generation products as well as being pushed to existing devices in the field.

You will have passion for technology and a deep understanding of industry leading best practices in embedded firmware development. You will be fluent in C/C++ and have good experience of developing firmware for connected devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and building applications on top of a Real Time Operating System (RTOS).

We would expect a successful candidate to be able to clearly articulate design decisions including any design patterns and demonstrate a level of fluency in the tools they use.

Previous experience with git/github, docker, VMs, CI/CD pipelines, vsCode remote containers, ARM cross-compilers and Zephyr would be ideal

You will be mentoring junior members of the team and will be willing and able to share your knowledge and work collaboratively.

Location: Hybrid working; a mix of working from our Bristol or London office & working remotely.

Employment type: Permanent (please note, you must have the right to work in the UK)
