Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer – Aerospace

Bristol | Circa £50,000

I’m recruiting two Embedded Software Engineers on behalf of a specialist technology company developing high-integrity software for safety-critical applications.

The team is looking to appoint one engineer with a stronger software development background and another focused on software verification. These positions would suit engineers with around five years’ experience in aerospace or another tightly regulated sector, such as automotive, medical devices or defence.

The role

Depending on your background, you will contribute to either the development or verification of embedded software, including:

• Developing and testing embedded software in C
• Producing software requirements, design documents and test documentation
• Verifying software against recognised aerospace and safety standards
• Supporting RTOS software across different processor architectures
• Debugging software and hardware integration issues
• Participating in code reviews, configuration management and controlled development processes
• Supporting product validation, certification and deployment

Requirements

• Commercial embedded software experience, ideally within aerospace
• Strong embedded C programming skills
• Experience working within a controlled or safety-critical development environment
• Knowledge of the embedded software development lifecycle
• Experience producing detailed technical and certification documentation
• Familiarity with standards such as DO-178B/C, IEC 61508, ISO 26262 or IEC 62304
• A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics or a related subject

Experience with FreeRTOS, SAFERTOS, ARM Cortex processors, assembly language, TCP/UDP networking or embedded security would be advantageous.

These are documentation-intensive aerospace positions, so they will particularly suit methodical engineers who enjoy traceability, verification and structured engineering processes alongside technical software work.

Applicants should ideally already hold the right to work in the UK
