Salisbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom Maru Search & Consultancy, a CRG Company Full time £65,000 - £85,000 per year

We're working with a world-renowned British hi-fi brand whose name has become synonymous with exceptional sound, engineering precision and timeless design. As part of their R&D division, the business continues to push the boundaries of premium audio – blending analogue warmth with cutting-edge digital innovation.

They're now looking for an Embedded Software Team Lead to join their growing Software Development function. A hands-on role combining engineering, coordination and technical leadership.

The Role

You'll play a key part in coordinating a small, talented team of embedded engineers (typically 2–3 direct reports) and contributing directly to software design and development. This is a hybrid role, part technical manager, part engineer, ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems while keeping projects on track.

Day-to-day, you'll:

  • Collaborate with Project Management and Engineering leaders to turn technical specifications into detailed software tasks
  • Write high-quality embedded code in C/C++ (microcontrollers, DSP, embedded Linux, ARM)
  • Guide and mentor junior engineers, promoting best practice and continuous improvement
  • Support project delivery using tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Liaise with Electronics, Acoustics, Software Test and Production teams to ensure seamless integration
  • Contribute to process improvements in CI/CD, automated testing and onboarding
  • Act as the main point of contact for embedded software within R&D and across the wider business

You'll be hands-on in the lab, validating prototypes, preparing for demos, and helping bring next-generation hi-fi products to life.

About You

You're an embedded software engineer who loves music, technology and collaboration — and you're ready for a step up into leadership.

You'll bring:

  • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or similar
  • 5+ years' experience in embedded software development
  • Strong C programming skills on embedded platforms
  • Knowledge of ARM microcontrollers, Embedded Linux or DSP
  • Familiarity with unit testing, automated testing or TDD
  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical detail into clear actions
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset and genuine enthusiasm for great sound

Experience in consumer electronics, Wi-Fi-enabled devices or audio technology would be an advantage.

Why Join

You'll join a collaborative, music-loving team who are passionate about engineering excellence and customer experience. The environment is friendly, relaxed and innovation-driven — with access to world-class facilities and the chance to shape the next generation of high-end audio systems.

Interested?

Apply now to play a key role in one of the UK's most respected audio brands, combining engineering precision with the pursuit of perfect sound.
