Embedded Software Engineer

About The Role

As a Software Engineer you could find yourself working at a low level on microcontrollers, preparing an operating system for new electronics, writing desktop or mobile applications, and even work on the web and server side. It’s exciting and challenging work alongside technical experts who have a passion for what they do, and you’ll be given real responsibility from day one. You will have the freedom to advise project leaders on the best way to solve problems and will be expected to deliver results in the way that you choose.

With a methodical approach and the ability to develop systems and structures, you will be responsible for designing and implementing software for a range of product applications for our clients globally within the medical, consumer and energy sectors. Experienced in working to tight deadlines, you will need to have a positive, outgoing and professional attitude.

With our continuous support and training, we want you to become an expert in your field and develop strong client facing skills. You will participate and contribute in project reviews, brainstorm with clients, define product requirements and, most importantly, see your unique ideas launched onto the market. We are able to offer visa sponsorship on this role for suitable candidates.
