Senior Firmware Engineer

Embedded Firmware Engineer | Medical Devices | Northwest
Fed up with "agile sprints" where nothing actually ships?
Here's something different.
A Medical device Manufacturer is looking for an embedded firmware engineer who can work with real code, not just talk about it.
The work:
Life-support equipment. Oxygen systems, breathing devices - stuff that actually matters.
You'll be debugging and improving legacy C code on memory-constrained microcontrollers. RTOS or bare-metal. Adding new features - wireless comms, connectivity - without breaking what already works.
This isn't "let's rewrite everything because the last guy didn't use our preferred design pattern." It's pragmatic engineering. Make it work, make it right, make it fast.
Regulated environment (IEC 62304, 60601), but if you're coming from aerospace or automotive, they'll train you on the medical side.
The reality:
Small R&D team. Hands-on lab work with proper test equipment - oscilloscopes, climatic chambers, gas testing rigs. Not just staring at a screen all day.
What's on offer:
£60-£65k. Hybrid working. The satisfaction of knowing your code improves peoples lives. No corporate buzzword bingo.
You'll love this if you:
- Write solid C for embedded systems and don't need to be told why malloc() is a bad idea in safety-critical firmware
- Have 5+ years in a regulated industry - aerospace, automotive, medical, defense
- Enjoy the detective work of legacy code - understanding why it was built that way, and how to improve it without breaking everything
- Prefer solving real problems over architectural purity
- Want to work on medical devices without the bureaucracy of big pharma
Location:
Cheshire, England

No cover letter needed. Just tell me what embedded systems you've worked on and what regulatory standards you've dealt with.
