  • Documenting your work clearly for handover and future development

What You'll Bring

  • Strong C and C++ programming skills
    in embedded environments
  • Experience with microcontroller architectures
    and hardware-software integration
  • Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
  • Python scripting ability for testing and automation
  • Several years of commercial embedded/firmware experience
    – you're confident working independently
  • The ability to be in the London office daily to work with the hardware

Nice to have:
RTOS experience, robotics background, motor control systems

What's In It For You

  • Work on genuinely innovative robotics technology
  • Collaborate with a talented, international team of engineers
  • Hands-on access to cutting-edge hardware every day
  • Competitive day rate via PAYE, potential for extension

Ready to Apply?

Please apply below via LinkedIn or send your CV to Helen at HFBAC and let's have a conversation about whether this is the right fit for you.

Please note: This role requires you to be based in or easily commute to North London. We cannot offer visa sponsorship for this position.
