You’ll join a close‑knit embedded systems team working side‑by‑side with electronics, mechanical engineering and cloud development colleagues. Together you’ll design, develop and deliver the next generation of sensors, gateways and testing tools that make industrial environments safer and more efficient across the globe.
This is a role for someone who wants ownership, variety, and the chance to influence how products are architected from the ground up.

• You’ll design and develop firmware for a growing portfolio of IoT sensors, gateways and production test tools.
• You’ll collaborate with electronics, mechanical and cloud engineers to integrate systems and solve real‑world challenges.
• You’ll bring ideas, innovation and professional insight to reviews, helping shape firmware requirements and product direction.
• You’ll test, validate and debug firmware to ensure everything works reliably in tough industrial environments.
• You’ll prepare clear documentation, from specifications to test reports, so knowledge is shared and decisions are well‑informed.
• You’ll research emerging technologies and champion new ways to improve performance and efficiency.
• You’ll contribute to a positive, collaborative team culture where creativity and continuous improvement are encouraged.
What we are looking for:
Essential attributes:
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to collaborate across teams.
• An innovative mindset with curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving ability.
• A detail‑driven, quality‑focused approach to work.
• Self‑motivation and the ability to manage your own workload effectively.
These are the qualities that help someone thrive in our fast‑paced, high‑impact environment.
Desirable experience:
• Degree in Software Engineering or a related discipline
• Experience developing embedded software using C, C++ or C#
• Familiarity with Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, Zephyr or other RTOS platforms
• Experience working with low‑level communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI)
• Ability to use test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers or multimeters
• Experience with Jira task management and GitHub release management
Why you'll love working with us:
• You’ll be part of a highly skilled, friendly team that works closely together across engineering disciplines.
• You’ll have real influence over product direction and software architecture, especially as we develop new generations of IoT products.
• You’ll work on meaningful technology—improving safety in warehouses and industrial sites around the world.
• You’ll experience the best of both worlds: fast‑paced development with the stability of an established, market‑leading business.
• You’ll see the full product lifecycle in‑house, with your work having a direct and visible impact.
