Shape the future of embedded systems, from concept to launch.
We’re hiring on behalf of a leading defence technology innovator, where embedded engineers don’t just write code, they architect solutions that power mission-critical systems. If you’re looking for a role that blends technical depth, real-world impact, and career flexibility, this could be your next move.

Why this role?

• Hybrid working: Blend on-site collaboration with remote flexibility
• Salary: £50,000–£60,000 + bonus + up to 14% pension + paid overtime

Projects span advanced DSP, software-defined radios, and safety-critical platforms, using the latest tech from Xilinx, Intel, TI and more.
What you’ll be doing

• Designing and modelling embedded digital systems
• Partitioning functionality across software and FPGA domains
• Integrating and testing systems on real hardware
• Collaborating with engineers across software, hardware, and systems disciplines

You’ll have the freedom to specialise or broaden your skills across embedded software, FPGA, and digital hardware — with clear pathways into technical leadership if that’s your ambition.
What we’re looking for

• Background in embedded software, FPGA, or digital hardware
• Experience with system-level design and performance modelling
• Strong problem-solving mindset and collaborative approach
