🧠 About the Role

Embedded Software Engineer to join and help refresh an established embedded systems team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career who's passionate about low-level software and wants real responsibility, not just maintenance work.

The role has come about due to a team departure and is focused on bringing in new energy, curiosity, and long‑term growth potential.

While the core target is graduate to early‑career (1-3 years), strong candidates with up to ~8 years' experience will still be considered if they demonstrate the right mindset and motivation.

✅ Skill Set

• Strong C programming experience (✅ C is essential, ❌ C++ not required)
• Interest or experience in low-level / embedded systems
• Exposure to real-time systems, robotics, or similar (placements or university projects welcome)
• Understanding or experience with multi‑CPU architectures
• A genuine desire to grow, learn, and help move the team forward
• Backgrounds in telecommunications or similar low‑level environments are of interest
  (Automotive experience is less relevant for their current projects)

🎓 Ideal Background

• Graduate or early‑career Embedded / Electrical / Computer Engineering background
• University projects or placements using C in real‑time or hardware‑adjacent environments
• Strong fundamentals and enthusiasm matter more than industry labels
