Senior Embedded Software/ Firmware Engineer Up to £75,000 Edinburgh/Hybrid Join our client’s R&D team and make your mark on cutting-edge oilfield technology. Our international client designs and builds advanced downhole and subsurface tools used in some of the most demanding environments on earth. They develop all firmware in-house — giving engineers the rare opportunity to see their designs deployed in the field and make a tangible impact on real-world operations. They are looking for an experienced Embedded Software / Firmware Engineer who’s passionate about embedded systems and ready to take ownership of the full firmware development lifecycle — from concept to deployment. What You’ll Do Design, develop, and test firmware for innovative downhole and surface tools. Work on low-power, high-reliability embedded systems that must perform in extreme conditions. Implement safe-failure modes and robust communication protocols. Contribute to an established suite of tools while driving innovation and continuous improvement. Collaborate closely with a small, expert R&D team to solve complex challenges and deliver world-class products. What We’re Looking For We’re seeking someone with strong technical foundations, creativity, and initiative. You’ll ideally bring: 5 years commercial experience writing Embedded C for 8/16-bit microcontrollers. A strong grasp of embedded design principles and the unique challenges of firmware for microcontrollers. Experience completing large, complex coding projects (thousands of lines). Analytical and lateral thinking — you enjoy finding elegant solutions to tough problems. Solid understanding of digital electronics (analogue knowledge a plus). Great communication and teamwork skills. A proactive attitude and ownership mindset — you thrive under pressure and deliver on time. Why Join? Work on industry-leading technology that sets new standards in performance and reliability. Be part of a tight-knit, expert team that values innovation, collaboration, and professional growth. See your designs brought to life in the field — and know they make a difference. Opportunity to become Team Lead in the future. Bright Purple is an equal opportunities employer: we are proud to work with clients who share our values of diversity and inclusion in our industry.
