Embedded Software Engineer - Security Clearance - Cambridge A growing spinout security technology company, based in Cambridge, is currently seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to assist with the development, modification, and enhancement of various security technologies. Your focus will span across radio, satellite, communications, radar, sensors, and other complex technologies used in the defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other cutting-edge sectors, where you will contribute to the development of new technologies. You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics design engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists, and other specialists. You won't necessarily need prior experience in the specific sector, as this is trainable, but you should have substantial experience in developing embedded systems using C/C++ programming languages. This company provides bespoke products and services for clients, ensuring that your projects will always be unique, presenting their own set of problems and challenges to keep you engaged. In addition to client projects, you will be involved in developing new versions of existing technology and improving current versions, offering a diverse and engaging role that will keep you interested for the long term. While experience in telecommunications, aerospace, scientific, radar, radio, or other complex technologies that involve communication between devices would be ideal, it is not essential. Your experience as an Embedded Software Engineer is more crucial than the specific sector. Certain roles may require security clearance, typically necessitating a British passport with no criminal record or a history of residing in the UK and paying taxes for several years (also with no criminal record). This role has arisen due to the company's growth. They take pride in investing in their staff by providing continuous training to support your career development. They have received awards for their commitment to staff development. In addition to award-winning training, career growth, and varied and unique work, you will receive a competitive starting salary, bonuses, pension contributions, medical insurance, life assurance, free parking, and other excellent benefits. There are currently several openings for Embedded Software Engineers within the company, so they will consider candidates with different levels of experience, from those early in their careers to senior candidates with years of experience. Salary will be determined based on experience, and there may be new roles approved in the future. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application now to avoid missing out. For further information, please do not hesitate to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment and Scientific Recruitment Specialist at Newton Colmore, on (phone number removed), or submit an application, and a member of our Newton Colmore team will contact you.

Firmware Engineer - Electronics Hardware Integration - Defence - Cambridge We have an important Firmware Engineer role for a growing Defence Sector organisation, aimed at contributing to the development of new technologies that will enhance the defence of the UK and other allied nations, with a focus on defensive technologies rather than offensive. Ideally, we are looking for someone with an electronics engineering background who can leverage their Firmware Engineering experience along with knowledge of electronics hardware integration. It's preferable if you have a proven track record of successfully completing complex projects resulting in launched devices. Some of the project you will be involved in will be focus on the advancing new technologies, pushing boundaries, and doing things that no one has done before. This means you won't get bored in this role and will continue to develop your careers and skills. While prior experience in the Defence sector is ideal, we are open to consider candidates from other complex fields. You will need to hold a degree in a software or electronics field that led you into a Firmware Engineer career.

In addition to career development and interesting projects, you will also receive an excellent starting salary (dependant on experience level), bonuses, a pension, free lunches, healthcare, on site gym access and other excellent benefits typically associated with larger organisations. Collaboration is the key focus within this company, operating within a flat structure where peers help develop your knowledge as you contribute to theirs, all while working on some of the most fascinating projects you can imagine.
