Are you a firmware engineer looking to work on products that genuinely change lives?

Maybe you want to work on cutting-edge medical devices, where your code directly helps people connect for the first time.

Or perhaps you're after a role that balances impact with flexibility - work from home two days a week, with a manager who cares more about your work than where you do it.

About the Role

You’ll be at the heart of the action, developing low-level firmware that sits on ultra-low power embedded systems. Your day-to-day might include, but won’t be limited to:

• Writing bare-metal C for custom DSPs and MCUs in a constrained memory environment.
  
  
• Debugging dev boards, prototyping, and integrating custom drivers.
  
  
• Using scopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to ensure every microsecond counts.
  
  
• Working with RTOS-based firmware for 2.4GHz BLE wireless communication.
  
  
• Developing real-time audio processing algorithms—noise suppression, frequency mapping, and adaptive sound enhancement.
  
  

Like the idea of pushing boundaries?

You’ll collaborate with R&D teams, helping to commercialise next-gen sound processing technologies. Over time, you’ll have the chance to dive into some seriously groundbreaking projects.

Initially, this is a 12-month contract role, but the company has a track record of converting contractors to permanent hires.

What they also do pretty well is promote from within - before going to market for a role, they always look for someone in the company who’s ready to take that next big step.

About You

Maybe you’re fascinated by biomedical technology, or you’re passionate about wireless communication in embedded systems.

Whatever your motivation, if you’ve spent the last 2+ years developing firmware in C, we’d love to chat.
