Job Details

Description

Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence & Homeland Security. As an Embedded Software Engineer at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race by helping to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.

Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. You’ll see ideas become a reality as you create prototypes through Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied, and agile role.

Every day, you will be operating at the boundary of technological exploration through inventions and cutting-edge technology. Typically, this will involve going through the whole product life cycle, you’ll capture, design, develop, document, test, and deliver through to the prototype production. This will use all your experimental and problem-solving skills.

You will get to enjoy a broad range of technically demanding projects with the freedom to find solutions with the support of highly capable and intelligent colleagues.

Requirements

Using C and at least one other language as appropriate for prototyping or test harness creation (such as C#, C++, MATLAB, PHP, Python or Simulink), the projects cover areas such as:

  • development of applications for Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) or bare metal,
  • experience of debugging embedded software,
  • interfacing to standard peripherals such as SPI, I2C, UART etc.,
  • optimisation for resource constrained applications,
  • good knowledge of standard algorithms,
  • ability to develop new and / or adapt existing algorithms.


Ideally you will have notable experience in two or more of the above areas. You will also have a track record of academic excellence, hold a relevant degree, and have proven technical capabilities including the design and development of technology solutions.

We are keen to hear from Embedded Software Engineers with experience in any sector.
