The Opportunity

To support our continued growth and expanding product roadmap, we're seeking a hands-on Embedded Software / Hardware Engineer to join our team. This is a full-time position located in Edinburgh North.

You'll take ownership across the full product lifecycle — from fast-paced prototyping and proof-of-concept development, through to design for manufacture, compliance, and scaling into volume production.

This role suits someone who:

• Enjoys working in a dynamic product development environment

• Is technically curious and thrives on solving complex problems across both software and hardware

• Is practical and resourceful, willing to roll up their sleeves in the lab

• Thinks in a structured way, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and high design quality

• Works independently but can collaborate effectively across disciplines when needed

What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for ARM Cortex-M, STM32, and ESP32-based systems

• Design hardware platforms using STM32, ESP32, and related microcontrollers

• Architect robust firmware using C/C++, FreeRTOS, and ESP-IDF frameworks

• Implement secure and efficient IoT connectivity solutions including BLE, WiFi, and OTA updates

• Develop embedded GUI applications using low-level graphics libraries

• Own the schematic and PCB layout process, including component library management

• Validate and debug hardware designs through lab testing, including board rework

• Participate in CI/CD pipelines to streamline embedded development workflows

• Support design for manufacture (DFM) and manage transition of prototypes into volume production

Ideal Experience

Embedded Software

• Proficient in C/C++ for embedded systems

• Strong experience with STM32, ARM Cortex-M, and ESP32 (using ESP-IDF)

• Solid understanding of FreeRTOS and real-time embedded software architecture

• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins)

• Experience with BLE, WiFi, OTA, and other IoT connectivity protocols

• Familiarity with embedded GUI/graphics libraries

Embedded Hardware

• Skilled in KiCad (or similar) for schematic capture and PCB layout

• Strong grasp of library management best practices

• Experience in EMC/EMI and ESD design and compliance testing

• Knowledgeable in analog and mixed-signal circuits including ADCs and power conditioning

• Experience in RF design (antennas, matching networks, etc.)

• Comfortable with lab validation: oscilloscopes, soldering, board rework

• Understanding of DFM and production processes

Bonus Skills

• PLC Proggraming for factory and process automation

• Knowledge of Python or scripting

• Previous work in automotive electronics and understanding of relevant standards

• Experience designing for safety-critical and functional safety systems
