My client is a fast-growing fabless Semiconductor business that develops advanced embedded solutions used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products worldwide. Due to continued expansion, they are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join their multi-disciplinary team of embedded, electronics, silicon and control engineers.

The company operates at the leading edge of precision engineering and custom silicon development, offering a technical environment where engineers work across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to high-volume production.

You do not need to come from another Semiconductor company, although it would be useful; it's not essential. You must have good experience in writing embedded C code for drivers, using Python for test systems and ARM Cortex.

The Role – Senior Embedded Software Engineer – C/Python

You will play a key role in the development of embedded driver firmware for custom silicon devices, as well as supporting verification, bring-up and validation activities. The position offers a mix of hands-on technical work, cross-team collaboration and problem-solving within a highly skilled engineering group.

Key Responsibilities - Senior Embedded Software Engineer – C/Python

  • Develop and maintain embedded firmware drivers for proprietary silicon.
  • Build and support automated pre-silicon and silicon verification environments for firmware testing.
  • Contribute to chip bring-up, debugging, regression testing and performance analysis.
  • Create and run validation test suites to verify electrical performance and functionality.
  • Work closely with silicon, electronics and control engineers throughout development.

Skills, Experience & Qualifications - Senior Embedded Software Engineer – C/Python

Essential:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Strong experience in real-time embedded firmware development.
  • Commercial experience in C programming for device drivers / embedded systems.
  • Commercial Python programming experience.
  • Experience developing cross-platform embedded code.
  • Familiar with defect tracking, code reviews and producing clear technical documentation.

Desirable (not essential): - Senior Embedded Software Engineer – C/Python

  • Experience with pytest, build scripts, Jenkins CI/CD and automated test frameworks.
  • Understanding of ARM Cortex-M architecture.
  • Familiarity with Linux, Git and scripting languages (Bash, Tcl).
  • PCB debug/test experience and general bench test skills.
  • Exposure to Agile development practices.

This is a great opportunity to join a very high-tech company offering excellent training and career development opportunities.
