Digital Control Systems | TI TMS320 | Power Electronics
If you enjoy writing embedded software that directly controls high-performance hardware — this is where your code will make a real impact.
This Embedded Software Engineer role is built for engineers who enjoy working close to hardware, solving complex control challenges, and developing software that drives sophisticated electronic systems.
You’ll be developing embedded control software for advanced power electronics applications — designing digital control loops, integrating real-time embedded platforms, and helping shape next-generation products used in highly demanding technical environments.
If you enjoy combining embedded software with real-world electronics and want to work on products where precision, reliability and performance are everything, this is the kind of role that offers genuine technical depth.
What You’ll Be Doing
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll work closely with electronics and power design engineers to develop, implement and support embedded control software across new and existing products.
Your day-to-day will include:
*
Designing and implementing embedded software for advanced digital control applications
*
Developing and optimising digital control loops for high-performance electronic systems
*
Supporting the integration and development of TI TMS320-based embedded platforms
*
Writing robust embedded C code for real-time applications
*
Supporting and maintaining existing production firmware
*
Managing software version control, release processes and software archiving
*
Collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure software meets system-level requirements
*
Supporting project planning through technical estimation of software effort and delivery timescales
*
Participating in design reviews and ensuring software integrity throughout development
*
Producing technical documentation including operating principles, calibration procedures and software support documentation
*
Supporting compliance with engineering, quality and safety standards
*
Ensuring software designs align with regulatory and product quality requirements
This is a role where your software directly influences system performance, reliability and product capability.
The Kind of Embedded Software Engineer Who Thrives Here
You’re someone who enjoys understanding how software interacts with hardware at a fundamental level.
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you’re methodical, analytical and naturally curious. You enjoy solving challenging technical problems and taking a structured approach to development.
You’re equally comfortable working independently and collaboratively, and you take pride in writing software that is robust, maintainable and built for real-world performance.
You also enjoy learning — whether that’s new embedded platforms, control methodologies or advanced electronics applications.
What You’ll Bring
*
Degree in Software Engineering, Electrical / Electronic Engineering, or similar
*
Experience in embedded software design and structured software development
*
Strong embedded C programming capability
*
Experience with Microchip PIC/DSP controllers and/or TI TMS320 platforms
*
Good understanding of embedded systems architecture
*
Knowledge of digital control theory
*
Strong analytical and technical problem-solving skills
*
Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a wider engineering team
*
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Why This Embedded Software Engineer Role Stands Out
This Embedded Software Engineer role offers the chance to work on technically challenging systems where software and electronics are tightly integrated.
You’ll gain exposure to sophisticated digital control applications, work alongside experienced power electronics engineers, and contribute to products where your software has a direct and measurable effect on system performance.
It’s a role that offers genuine technical variety — combining embedded development, control systems, hardware integration and real-world product delivery.
For engineers who want to deepen their embedded expertise while working on complex, meaningful technology, this is a fantastic opportunity.
This is a highly collaborative engineering setting where software and hardware development happen side by side.
Because of the hands-on nature of the work and interaction with physical systems, on-site presence is important, and access to your own transport will be essential due to location.
If you enjoy being close to the hardware, testing your code on real systems and working directly with the engineers bringing products to life, you’ll feel right at home here
