Senior Embedded System Engineer

Why you’d want this role

Build real products : Your work ships onto live edge compute devices, not slide decks or prototypes

Technical depth : Work across embedded Linux, bare‑metal, AI inference, wireless, cameras, and power systems

Real autonomy : Small, high‑calibre engineering team with minimal red tape

Visible impact : You’ll directly influence product direction and technical decisions

Career growth : Exposure to robotics, autonomous systems, and edge AI in a fast‑growing business

The Role

You’ll design, build, test, and deploy embedded software for low‑volume, production‑grade edge devices used in autonomous environments.

What you’ll work on:

• Embedded C/C++ and Linux‑based systems
• Drivers, boot logic, and board bring‑up
• Control systems and state machines
• Edge AI / deep learning inference
• Cameras, ISPs, and sensor integrations
• Wireless, mesh, and IoT communications
• Battery management, power monitoring, GPS/GNSS
• Real‑world field testing and performance validation

You’ll also get hands‑on with rapid hardware prototyping and collaborate closely with other engineers across software, hardware, and product.

What we’re looking for:

• Degree in engineering or computer science (or equivalent experience)
• Strong C/C++ with working knowledge of Python
• Commercial embedded software delivery experience
• Linux (device trees, kernel concepts) and common embedded interfaces (SPI, UART, CAN, USB)
• Experience with bare‑metal or RTOS systems (ARM / STM32 / similar)

Nice to have:

• Cameras, wireless stacks, power systems, or AI at the edge
• Jetson / ARM edge platforms
• Robotics, UAVs, or autonomous systems
• Hardware prototyping, PCB or product development exposure
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Employer pension contribution
• Private medical insurance & evolving perks
• Regular team socials and a strong engineering culture

Location & Security

• Hybrid role, with office based near London
• On-site for testing (~10%)
• Eligibility for security clearance preferred
