Job overview
Own your work. Shape real products. Stay curious. If you’re an experienced Embedded Software Engineer who enjoys figuring things out your own way, hates being boxed in, and wants to work on different tech (not the same product every day)… keep reading.
What you will be doing
This isn’t a “just code what you’re told” role. You’ll take ideas from early-stage concepts all the
way to real-world products — designing, building, testing and refining along the way.
- Develop embedded software across microcontrollers, processors & SoCs
- Work closely with hardware engineers to bring products to life
- Get involved in architecture, design decisions & planning
- Optimise for performance, memory & power
- Be part of customer conversations — not hidden behind the scenes
What makes this role special?
Real autonomy
You’ll be trusted to figure things out, make decisions and own your work — no micromanagement, just smart people doing great engineering.
Flexibility
How you approach problems, structure your work, and deliver solutions is up to you. The focus is outcomes, not ticking boxes.
Variety
One week you could be working on IoT devices, the next on industrial systems or completely new tech. On a hybrid basis, there is some travel required to customers and to the office, but a definite combination of work from home / on site to secure good work/life balance.
Your tech expertise
- Solid experience with C/C++ in embedded systems
- RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS)
- Embedded Linux, Android platform (AOSP)
- Knowledge of I2C, SPI, UART, CAN
- Secure boot, secure firmware update
- Comfortable debugging with real hardware tools
- A mindset of curiosity + problem-solving
- Fluent English (spoken and written)
The team
A small team (~8 people) of experienced engineers who genuinely know their stuff. No layers, no politics — just collaboration, ideas and getting things done.
The reality
- Multiple projects running at once
- High expectations from customers
- You’ll need to prioritize, adapt and stay sharp
Why this move makes sense
If you want freedom, variety, and real engineering impact — without layers of process slowing you down — this is one of those roles where you’ll actually enjoy what you’re building.
What you’ll get out of it
- Work on innovative products across multiple industries
- Learn fast by being around senior, hands-on engineers
- Have a real say in technical decisions
- Stay close to the latest embedded tech & developments
- Be part of a company that values quality over noise
- You’ll get a good salary and travel expenses
- All the tools you need including laptop
- Communal, togetherness feel
- 25 days’ holiday plus your birthday off
- Freedom and flexibility
- Impact and real responsibility / autonomy – real job satisfaction
- Free lunch and coffee at the office, chilled beers on a Friday
