Role Summary

You'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers and designers on a wide range of projects - from medical devices to consumer electronics. You'll encounter market-specific problems you never knew existed, and develop pragmatic, elegant solutions to solve them.

This role suits an adaptable all-rounder with strong electronics hardware design background and a good grasp of embedded software development. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy variety, and value autonomy over being pigeonholed, this might be the role for you.Key Responsibilities

Proficiency in Embedded C and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
Confident with embedded software debugging using standard tools
Familiarity with common communications protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, UDP/TCP)
Strong attention to detail and an awareness of the impact of design decisions
Enthusiasm for technology, innovation, and product development
Patience and persistence when things don't go to plan

Previous experience taking a project from concept to production (DfM/DfT)
