Embedded Software Engineer

Location:

Stroud, Gloucestershire

Salary:

Up to £70,000 KO2's client is a fast-growing, well-funded tech start-up developing advanced sensing and monitoring systems using low-power embedded platforms, intelligent signal processing, and secure wireless connectivity.

The Role

You'll lead the full embedded development lifecycle, from requirements and system architecture through to firmware development, integration, and production release. You'll work closely with hardware, data, and product teams to deliver robust, low-power sensing solutions for real-world environments.

Key Responsibilities

Develop low-power embedded firmware in C/C++ Design for battery-operated, ultra-low power systems Implement sensor data acquisition and signal processing (e.g. MEMS microphones, accelerometers) Develop RF communication systems (LoRa/LPWAN, mesh networking) Implement secure communications (encryption, authentication, secure boot) Deploy optimised machine learning models on embedded devices

Essential Experience

Strong embedded C/C++ development experience Full product lifecycle experience (concept to production) Low-power system design expertise Sensor data processing and RF communications (LoRa or similar) Embedded security and debugging skills

Desirable

ML for acoustic detection MEMS microphone systems OTA updates and noise mitigation Start-up experience If you're looking to build intelligent, low-power sensing systems from the ground up, KO2 would love to hear from you.
