My client is a fast-growing fabless Semiconductor business that develops advanced embedded solutions used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products worldwide. Due to continued expansion, they are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join their multi-disciplinary team of embedded, electronics, silicon and control engineers.

The company operates at the leading edge of precision engineering and custom silicon development, offering a technical environment where engineers work across the full product lifecycle, from early concept through to high-volume production.

You do not need to come from another Semiconductor company, although it would be useful; it’s not essential. You must have good experience in writing embedded C code for drivers, using Python for test systems and ARM Cortex.

The Role – Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver

You will play a key role in the development of embedded driver firmware for custom silicon devices, as well as supporting verification, bring-up and validation activities. The position offers a mix of hands-on technical work, cross-team collaboration and problem-solving within a highly skilled engineering group.

Key Responsibilities - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver

Develop and maintain embedded firmware drivers for proprietary silicon. Build and support automated pre-silicon and silicon verification environments for firmware testing. Contribute to chip bring-up, debugging, regression testing and performance analysis. Create and run validation test suites to verify electrical performance and functionality. Work closely with silicon, electronics and control engineers throughout development. Skills, Experience & Qualifications - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver

Essential:

Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or related discipline. Strong experience in real-time embedded firmware development. Commercial experience in C programming for device drivers / embedded systems. Commercial Python programming experience. Experience developing cross-platform embedded code. Familiar with defect tracking, code reviews and producing clear technical documentation. Desirable (not essential): - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver

Experience with pytest, build scripts, Jenkins CI/CD and automated test frameworks. Understanding of ARM Cortex-M architecture. Familiarity with Linux, Git and scripting languages (Bash, Tcl). PCB debug/test experience and general bench test skills. Exposure to Agile development practices. This is a great opportunity to join a very high-tech company offering excellent training and career development opportunities
