- Working as part of a team of embedded engineers you will be key to developing our next generation of embedded automation solutions
- This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced software engineer to work in a mixed signal environment, developing software for both analogue data acquisition systems and ARM based micro-controllers for high reliability operation in a hostile environment
- You will work with the Project Manager, Product Manager and/or other stakeholders to develop technical specifications then realize the product and support its release to the end user
- This may include the opportunity for occasional site visits both in the UK and overseas to support commissioning and training
- The ability to work on a broad range of systems applying different programming languages would be advantageous; developing the embedded software and contributing to the development of associated diagnostic tools/graphical interfaces in different programming languages would be a good example of this
