This is an opportunity to join a leading engineering consultancy delivering complex technology projects across defence, medical and industrial sectors.
We're looking for a well-rounded Embedded Software Engineer with strong Embedded Linux fundamentals and hands-on Yocto experience.
This role requires engineers who can work deeply within Linux when required, including custom Linux builds, kernel development and device drivers, whilst also being comfortable working across RTOS, MCU and bare-metal systems.
Responsibilities:
* Developing custom Embedded Linux platforms using Yocto.
* Working at kernel, driver and system level on Arm-based embedded platforms.
* Supporting board bring-up, hardware integration, debugging and performance optimisation.
* Developing software for RTOS and bare-metal embedded systems.
* Collaborating with FPGA, electronics and multidisciplinary engineering teams across a variety of projects.
Requirements:
* Commercial Embedded Linux development experience.
* Strong hands-on Yocto experience, including building and maintaining custom Linux images.
* Experience with Linux kernel, device driver and low-level system development.
* Strong C/C++ programming skills.
* Experience with RTOS, MCU and bare-metal embedded development.
* Ability to adapt to new technologies and work across different domains.
* Eligible for UK SC Security Clearance.
Bonus Skills:
* DSP or strong mathematical foundations.
* Python, Rust or C# experience.
* Experience working within consultancy, defence or highly varied engineering environments.
This is not a Linux-only position. The successful engineer will spend periods focused heavily on Embedded Linux and Yocto, alongside projects involving RTOS, bare-metal and wider embedded development. The role is ideal for engineers who enjoy technical variety, continuous learning and solving new challenges rather than working on a single long-term product.
Apply now to join a team where engineers regularly expand their skillsets and contribute to cutting-edge projects across multiple industries!
