Embedded Software Engineer

IntaPeople are looking for an Embedded Systems/Software Engineer to take a leading role within a project team.You will have technical responsibility for the design, development, and evaluation of embedded systems for use in a selection of products.

This role will involve working with other engineers, suppliers and customer in a cross-functional project environment, ensuring that the objectives and scope of projects are met successfully.

Duties & Responsibilities
- Capture and analyse the requirements for the embedded system(s)
- Act as key person to other stakeholders to build up the technical requirements for the product, and identify/research suitable approaches and architectural solutions that can satisfy the project goals (schedule, cost, quality, etc.)
- Produce and develop technical documentation to describe the system design
- Create and maintain detailed system and software specifications, using appropriate techniques and visual models. These specifications may be design proposals, or an explanation of agreed and realised solutions. Expected to lead technical reviews with stakeholdersto critique and improve these designs and ensure that they are technically realistic and viable.
- Design, produce and maintain embedded code
- Produce software modules in accordance with the architectural design requirements, using appropriate model-based design tools and conventions. Lead reviews with other engineers to assess the quality of software designs.
- Plan and undertake verification testing of modules and integrated systems
- Determine the testing approach to evaluate the embedded solution(s), working with other team members to produce test plans. Conduct tests in accordance with plans, ensuring that the systems function as expected and the technical integrity is safeguarded.Identify any countermeasures and improvements for issues such as evaluation failures, bugs and changes in requirements.
- Manage the delivery of the embedded system and software at trial stages, and into production
- Control and monitor team plans/schedules for the delivery of embedded systems and software across multiple projects. Co-ordinate with Project Management and report on progress.
