For this Senior Embedded Software Engineer role, we are looking for someone with:

• Strong experience developing low-level embedded software and firmware using Zephyr
• Excellent C/C++ programming skills, including optimisation for resource-constrained systems
• Experience with prototype board bring-up, hardware/software integration and debugging
• Experience with embedded communication interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART and RS422
• Strong practical debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analysers and software tools
• Experience with embedded Linux, Yocto, bare-metal firmware or other RTOS platforms would be beneficial
• Knowledge of secure communications, authentication, encryption or secure firmware updates would be advantageous
