Board bring-up, bootloader development and hardware debugging

Analogue & digital electronics, schematics and PCB development

Embedded security, reliability and system-level debugging

Leading architecture decisions and mentoring other engineers

βœ… RTOS and real-time embedded development experience

βœ… Genuine hands-on electronics and hardware capability

βœ… Experience reading schematics and debugging at board level

βœ… A background taking embedded products from concept through to production


Experience with Altium, embedded cybersecurity, encryption, automated testing or CI/CD would be a strong advantage.


What's on offer?

Competitive salary + bonus

️ 25 days' holiday + bank holidays

Company pension

Training & professional development

Opportunity to influence engineering and product direction

πŸ› οΈ Genuine technical ownership and autonomy
