We’re looking for a talented and driven Embedded Software Engineer to help build, scale, and support complex sensor systems operating in real-world environments. In this role, you’ll design and implement embedded software that runs on Linux-based systems, contributing to projects that push the boundaries of real-time data processing, RF signal detection, and automated response.
You’ll work closely with teams spanning AI/ML, data science, hardware engineering, and cloud infrastructure to create robust solutions capable of handling mission-critical workloads. The software you build will directly support security, defence, and remote surveillance applications.
What You’ll Be DoingDevelop and maintain embedded software features on Linux-based edge systemsCollaborate across disciplines to meet operational and performance requirementsEnsure code is designed for resource-constrained, high-uptime environmentsImplement features using modern C++ and Python, depending on project needsParticipate in software design discussions, code reviews, and performance tuningWork on inter-process communication mechanisms for modular, scalable architecturesCreate and maintain high-quality technical documentation for implemented componentsContribute to the continuous integration pipeline and system testing frameworksSupport system monitoring, logging, and observability in production deploymentsEngage with DevOps and infrastructure specialists to improve deployment workflows
Your BackgroundDegree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical fieldProven experience developing applications in modern C++ and/or PythonStrong understanding of Linux development (embedded Linux preferred)Familiarity with multi-process systems and IPC mechanismsExposure to Docker, Git, CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab), and versioning toolsExperience with design patterns, testing, and scalable software architecture
Bonus Points ForKnowledge of concurrency, performance optimisation, or low-latency systemsBackground in machine learning, RF signal processing, or DSPExposure to FPGA, sensor integration, or systems running in remote deploymentsUnderstanding of DevOps practices, including observability and automated deployments
