Embedded And Electronics Systems Engineer

Description:

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our growing engineering team to help develop the next generation of permanently products.

This is not a pure firmware role. We are looking for someone who enjoys developing complete products and is comfortable working across embedded firmware, electronics and systems engineering.

As a growing SME of around 40 people, we do not have separate firmware, electronics, systems and product engineering departments. Our engineers work across disciplines and are involved throughout the complete product lifecycle, from initial concept through prototype, manufacture, customer deployment and ongoing product improvement.

The successful candidate will become a key technical contributor, working alongside our software, hardware, manufacturing and operations teams, while also working with external suppliers and design partners.

The Type of Person We're Looking For

The ideal candidate has spent a number of years designing and developing embedded products, rather than purely writing firmware. They enjoy solving practical engineering problems and have experience taking products from concept through prototype into manufacture.

They do not need to be the world's expert in every discipline, but they should be technically comfortable across firmware, electronics and systems engineering, and understand enough mechanical engineering to ensure products are practical to manufacture and assemble. Above all, they are someone who naturally joins the dots between disciplines, rather than working in a single specialist area.

That breadth of engineering capability matters considerably more to us than expertise in one particular processor family or software language.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware for microcontroller based products
• Design and debug embedded systems using modern development tools
• Read, review and contribute to electronic schematics and PCB designs
• Investigate hardware and firmware issues using laboratory test equipment
• Capture engineering requirements and contribute to system architecture
• Develop prototypes and support product integration
• Work with external design partners and manufacturers
• Support products through manufacture, deployment and continuous improvement
• Participate in design reviews, verification and validation activities
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practice
