We are well established across multiple markets such as military and defence, uncrewed vehicles such as drones, police and government, and broadcast technology. About the Role At DTC, our Embedded Engineers enjoy a varied role with a steady stream of challenging new projects to work on. You will program in C++ for embedded applications and sometimes in C for low-level Linux kernel device drivers. If you have experience in DSP or VHDL/FPGA, those skills will be put to good use, or could be developed as part of your ongoing training and professional development. Most of our Embedded Engineers enjoy getting hands-on with hardware as well, although we do have a dedicated Hardware and RF Team who take care of most of the heavy lifting. Why work at DTC We celebrate and recognise success, take pride in our culture, and enjoy working alongside highly skilled colleagues on ground-breaking technology that fuels the continued success of the business. We offer a flexible working environment, competitive salaries, a great benefits package, and ensure that our Engineers receive world-class training and development. Interested in finding out more?
