Job Summary
What Youll Do
Youll get to:
- Develop firmware for our core technology from concept through to implementation test and support in production.
- Write high-quality C for ARM microcontrollers (STM32) focusing on robust maintainable and testable code.
- Work closely with electronics mechanical and software engineers plus biologists to understand system needs and turn them into clear firmware requirements.
- Collaborate in a fast-moving cross-discipline environment where you can influence design decisions at every stage.
- Support and occasionally develop custom test equipment for internal use helping the wider team move faster.
- Debug embedded systems using tools such as debug probes oscilloscopes multimeters and logic analysers getting to the root cause of tricky issues.
- Bring a pragmatic can do mindset choosing the right level of engineering rigour for the stage of development we are in.
Depending on your experience you may also:
- Apply good software engineering practices such as test-driven development and continuous integration to embedded systems.
- Use higher level languages such as Python C# or Java to build supporting tools and simple GUIs for debugging test or internal users.
- Contribute to electronics design working closely with hardware engineers to shape interfaces and overall system architecture.
- Develop and optimise hard real time algorithms for motion control sensing or safety critical functions.
- Use Docker and containers to create reliable repeatable development and test environments.
- Work with Linux as a development environment and as part of the wider system.

About You
You enjoy seeing firmware come to life in real hardware and you like being close to the bench motors and sensors rather than hidden away from the physical system. You are comfortable owning a design end to end from first requirements through to code that ships and you get energy from working with people from different backgrounds.
Youll bring:
- Strong experience with embedded systems and the firmware that makes them work.
- Extensive professional experience developing firmware in C and/or C on ARM microcontrollers ideally STM32.
- Confidence working directly with hardware including prototype electronics motors and sensors.
- The ability to independently debug embedded systems using tools such as debug probes oscilloscopes multimeters and logic analysers.
- Strong skills in interpreting component datasheets and electronics schematics; using them to inform your designs and debugging.
- Youll enjoy working in an environment that is both entrepreneurial and collaborative where you can influence how things are built and see the impact of your work in a mission with real meaning for patients.
