Principal Embedded Software Engineer | £80-85k | Cambridge
An exciting medium-sized consultancy is looking for an experienced software engineer to join their driven & motivated team. You’ll report directly to the Head of Engineering and have a significant degree of authority over the architecture of each project.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a software engineer with previous consultancy experience who wants to join a team where they can have a real impact every day and lead a team of multidisciplinary engineers, without the line management side of things.
A lot of their projects tend to be outside of heavy industry regulations and varied, so you have a lot of freedom to be creative & solve a range of problems.
Responsibilities as a Principal Embedded Software Engineer:
+ Lead the software design and development of embedded and connected systems
+ Take a system-wide view: balancing firmware, hardware, connectivity, and cloud considerations
+ Work directly with clients, defining not just delivery but also the actual product itself from idea through to production
Requirements as a Principal Embedded Software Engineer:
+ Strong experience developing embedded software using C/C++ for RTOS-based systems (ideally Zephyr)
+ Experience at a senior level in a consultancy environment
+ Strong understanding of embedded Linux, but you don’t have to be a Linux guru
+ Experience with Cloud-based systems (AWS, IoT, embedded security)
If you love developing exciting products and would like to play a leading role in a consultancy, apply
