• Linux system development (e.g. Yocto, Debian)
• 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers (e.g. ARM, PIC, MSP430, DSP)
• Standard buses and protocols (e.g. Ethernet, USB, RS232, I2C, SPI)
• Embedded control of wireless modules (e.g. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, NFC)
• Experience of a variety of development environments and tools
• Development of high quality code and adherence to best coding practices
• Software problem-solving and bug-fixing

Criteria:

• Enjoy working in a fast-paced technical environment
• Possess strong communication skills; both internal and customer facing
• Use and understand appropriate methodologies to design, build and test complex systems
• Create customer-readable documentation, test results and reports
• Regularly investigate, develop and integrate new techniques, processes & tools

The following desirable skills are a plus:

• RTOS experience (e.g. FreeRTOS)
• Object-oriented design
• Windows development and C#
• Experience of cryptography, security, TLS stacks
• Android or iOS app development
• DSP algorithm development.
• Video or still image capture and processing.

We have been delivering design solutions for more than a decade, including proof of concept to full production. The work is varied and interesting. What you’ll get for your talent and effort is a like-minded team focused on professional and personal success.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or related subject.
