Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Gloucestershire

Competitive salary + benefits

I’m currently partnered with an international engineering business operating at the cutting edge of motion control, robotics, and industrial automation.

They design and build advanced motion controllers used in highly precise applications, think CNC machinery, 3D printing, and robotic arms. Where complex, synchronised movement across multiple axes is critical

What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing next-generation motion control systems. You’ll be working across ARM-based platforms (RTOS and bare metal), focusing on developing, integrating and optimising algorithms that govern complex motion control through 2D and 3D

• Architecting and developing embedded software for advanced motion and robotic systems
• Designing and optimising real-time algorithms
• Working across ARM-based platforms (RTOS and bare metal)
• Collaborating closely with hardware and applications teams on bespoke systems
• Contributing across the full lifecycle, from concept through to deployment and support
• Mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction

About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys the mathematics and physics of problem solving in an embedded environment,

If you’ve worked on algorithm development before that’s great, as this role will largely be focused in integrating the mathematics, ideally with experience using things like MATLAB and Simulink.

You may have worked on things like acceleration, trajectory, path planning or precise control applications with an aim of optimising, smoothing or refining software control

You’ll have broad experience covering a few areas:

• Strong embedded C/C++ experience
• Experience with ARM architectures
• Background in RTOS and/or bare metal development

It would be great if you have an interest in algorithm development and optimisation, or a solid grounding in control theory, inverse kinematics, system modelling, motor control or industrial automation (PLC) experience

Why This Role?

This is a fascinating niche to operate, working with both big and small projects from automated robotic manufacturing in automotive to high end Hollywood camera systems used in film and everything in between, you’ll get to:

• Work in an R&D Environment
• On genuinely cutting-edge technology in robotics and industrial automation
• Be part of a business with a global footprint and strong engineering culture
• Opportunity to solve complex problems that directly impact physical systems

This is a niche space, but if you’ve worked in embedded systems where precision and performance really matter, it could be a great fit.
