Job Description

The Opportunity 

As an Embedded Software Engineer at TTP, you will develop solutions that make a real impact - whether in connected medical devices, safety-critical radio systems, industrial automation, or satellite payloads. Projects range from rapid prototypes to multi-year developments. 

You'll work across the full development lifecycle: from analysis and system architecture to implementation and testing. With the freedom to select the best tools for each challenge, you'll combine depth in embedded software engineering with the agility to pick up new ideas and collaborate across disciplines. 

You'll play a key role in ambitious projects, sometimes leading them, balancing the uncertainties of R&D with time and budget constraints. Collaboration is at the heart of our approach - you'll work in multi-disciplinary teams where every member's insight shapes the outcome. 

You'll also grow strong client relationships, developing a deep understanding of their needs and vision, and ensuring their confidence throughout the delivery of complex technology projects. 

What You'll Bring 

The essential requirements for this role are: 

  • A bachelor's degree in Electronics & Software, Computer Science, or a related discipline 
  • High proficiency in embedded C 
  • Knowledge of microcontroller architecture and typical features 
  • Experience with SPI, I2C, and UART/RS232 
  • Ability to lead the delivery of technical solutions and provide direction to a small team of developers 
  • Commercial awareness, with the ability to oversee budgets and balance cost, time, and quality 

Highly desirable qualities for this role include: 

  • Experience using microcontroller debuggers and oscilloscopes 
  • RTOS experience 
  • Bare-metal programming of microcontrollers 
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C++ 
  • Ability to develop PC utilities for testing embedded systems (e.g. in C#, Python or C++) 
  • Experience writing bootloaders 
  • Able to read and understand hardware schematics 
  • Understanding of real-time system constraints
